Word about Xiaomi’s intention to create a new in-house chipset has been floating around the internet for a while. Recent leaks provide substantial evidence supporting these rumors, as references to this chipset have been found in Xiaomi’s own Mi code.
New Chipset Development
According to Xiaomitime, Mi code has confirmed the ongoing development of a new SoC by Xiaomi, which is codenamed "XRing." This chipset is anticipated to be marketed as the Pinecone Surge S2, serving as a successor to the Surge S1—Xiaomi’s first in-house chipset, which was introduced with the Mi 5c back in 2017.
Specifications and Features
While specifics about "XRing" are still somewhat limited, it is expected to incorporate a MediaTek modem—possibly the T90 5G modem, based on previous leaks. The Surge S2 "XRING" is likely to be a 3 nm SoC built on TSMC’s N3E node and will feature a Cortex-X3 prime core, three Cortex-A715 cores, four Cortex-A510 cores, along with Imagination’s CXT-48-1536 GPU.
Expected Launch and Model Compatibility
It’s doubtful that Xiaomi will utilize the Surge S2 in more than a handful of its devices this year, due to the inherent risks involved. Nonetheless, it seems almost certain that the Xiaomi 15S Pro, codenamed "dijun" with the model number "25042PN24C," will include this chipset.
