Qualcomm and MediaTek may have a new competitor: Xiaomi will unveil its 3nm chip in 2025
Xiaomi plans to release its own 3nm chip in 2025, which could compete with processors from Qualcomm and MediaTek.
Here's What We Know
According to DigiTimes, the new chip will utilise TSMC's advanced manufacturing technology. This high-performance processor is expected to be installed in Xiaomi's flagship smartphones, possibly starting with the Xiaomi 16 model, marking an important step for Xiaomi towards greater independence from third-party chip suppliers.
The company had earlier successfully completed the development of its first 3nm chip, which confirms its intentions to strengthen its position in the market. With trade restrictions such as those affecting Huawei, Xiaomi's proprietary designs could be an important advantage for Chinese manufacturers. Although the exact release date of the chip is not yet known, its appearance is expected in 2025, which could significantly change the balance of power in the market of mobile processors.
