Yogesh Brar, a well-known tipster, shared details about Xiaomi's custom smartphone chip in a recent post (August 26th). According to the source, the chip is manufactured using TSMC's N4P (second-generation 4nm) process, with performance benchmarks reaching the level of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Additionally, the source revealed that the chip will utilize Unisoc's 5G modem, and it is expected to debut in the first half of 2025.

This isn't the first time we've heard about Xiaomi's self-developed mobile chip plans. Back in February, IT Home reported that Xiaomi was collaborating with ARM to develop its own AP (Application Processor, essentially equivalent to a mobile device SoC). Now, with the chip details coming to light, Xiaomi's self-developed chip initiative seems closer to reality than ever before.

It's worth noting that the N4P process is TSMC's second-generation 4nm process, boasting lower power consumption and higher performance compared to its predecessor. This translates to enhanced processing capabilities and extended battery life for the chip. Performance is expected to be on par with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, potentially bringing significant performance improvements and a smoother user experience to Xiaomi smartphones.

Unisoc, a leading domestic chip manufacturer, has attained international leadership in 5G modem technology. Xiaomi's choice of Unisoc's 5G modem not only reduces chip costs but also better caters to domestic market needs, enhancing network connectivity performance for its smartphones.

The release of Xiaomi's self-developed chip will further strengthen its competitiveness in the mobile phone industry. On the one hand, Xiaomi can break free from dependence on chip suppliers like Qualcomm, lowering phone costs and increasing profit margins. On the other hand, through independent chip development, Xiaomi can create smartphone products that better align with its needs, leading to improved user experiences and greater user appeal.

While specific details about Xiaomi's self-developed chip are yet to be officially announced, its adoption of advanced technology and high-performance modems highlights its technical prowess and potential in the chip sector. We can anticipate that Xiaomi will continue to introduce more self-developed chips in the future, delivering superior smartphone experiences for users.
