Xiaomi successfully “tapes out” China’s first 3nm smartphone chip Oct 21, 2024 Xiaomi has been rumored to be working on its very own smartphone chip for a while now. Looks like the company has now reached an important milestone.
A report by Chinese media MyDrivers suggests that Xiami has successfully “taped out” the country’s first 3nm smartphone SoC.
The announcement came from the Chief Economist of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology on BRTV, a government-owned television network in China. Below is the announcement video of the same, in Chinese of course, posted by an X user.
Xiaomi’s own smartphone SoC?
The report doesn’t provide details about the CPU or GPU and only mentions that it is a 3nm chip. It also doesn’t specify whether Xiaomi is using TSMC, Samsung, or another node for production.
However, the “tape-out” process in silicon design means the chip has reached the final stage before it’s sent to the manufacturing facility for production. In other words, Xiaomi has successfully completed the design phase and the chip is now ready for fabrication.
That said, this doesn’t mean the SoC is ready for mass production or smartphone use yet. Xiaomi will still need to test the chip once it’s fabricated by a manufacturer like TSMC or Samsung. Also, if the initial yield (the percentage of working chips) is low, they may need to tweak the manufacturing process or the chip design to improve it.
In case you didn’t know, Xiaomi has already released a smartphone with its own SoC. The Mi 5C, launched in 2017, featured Xiaomi’s Pengpai (or Pinecone) S1 chip, a 28nm, 8-core processor with a big-little architecture and a maximum clock speed of 2.2GHz.
While Xiaomi hasn’t launched another smartphone SoC since then, it has been developing chips for charging, battery management, and image signal processing in its Surge G, P, and C series. For instance, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra uses the Surge P2 and G1 chips to improve charging efficiency and extend battery life.
So, chip production certianly isn’t an unfamiliar territory for Xiaomi. It remains to be seen if the company can successfully develop and launch its own smartphone SoC (again), and how it will stack up in terms of performance.

once remember someone comment huawei will only spend time talking about their chip if it is self designed, but other china phone company will spend 30 min talking about chip that they dont even design.
hualawei last time kena use sd chip, during product promo only use 5 sec say to talk what chip is that. kek
btw, since last year alot china brand already shift to use their own screen supplier, own glass supplier, own camera sensor supplier and so on.
now most flagship use BOE/TCL screen, use their own glass and u hardly hear any gorilla glass, use their own OV camera sensor, and use their own SiC battery.
next year on wards, most flagship will habe more than 6000mah battery already

So did you buy the Huawei Pura 70 Ultra?
Do you love the fact that an almost RM7000 phone cannot record video in 8K?
The photos look amazing though. But who are you kidding, woomiao? The Kirin processor is slower than a RM1500 Poco F6 by a wide margin.
i buy xiaomi cannot? and for what u buy huawei if u dont get to use the harmonynext? u buy that to experience side load google? like that u can get any other china android what?
and no kidding u, i still use a poco f3 that has sd870. more than enough for me. i have xiaomi 13 pro as well and i turn on power saving mode for both my phone because i dont need that processing power, but i need the battery endurance.

and u praise huawei photo for what? u wumao?
The topic is about processors, why you try to derail by talking about Chinese manufacturers making their own screens, glass and camera sensors?
The point I'm trying to make is the Pura 70 Ultra takes excellent photos, but the video quality is severely dragged down by the outdated Kirin processor.
So what if China can make the best camera sensor but the slow CPU cannot record video in 8K?
So what if China can make the best screens but the GPU sucks?
Better buy Xiaomi phones before the U.S. sanctions them.

later USA boh song again
only hkkien empire / old chna have the ability to make the most advanced chip.
lvl 1 (yin)- european lvl2 (yang)- jews lvl 3 most advanced version (ying and yang moving in perfect harmony) - old orignal chna / hkkien empire (skorea, japan, taiwan, sg and my)
don butthurt ya. Unfortunately its not you who is going to accompany me to the end. The fake motherland dont have the ability to create chip.

This song is not about love but about family affection. It tells the story of a mother's wish to go to Tokyo to see the Eiffel Tower, but her daughter was too busy with work to have time. After her mother passed away, she went to see the Eiffel Tower with her mother's wish, but her mother was no longer there, and she only felt regret in her heart. I hope everyone cherishes their loved ones and spends more time with them.
old chna (skorea, japan and taiwan) - the real motherland. She regretted that she didnt go to japan with her mother when she was still alive.
The rest are all fake rubbish
