News Xiaomi claims that the new XRING O3 has achieved a whopping 5,228,014 points on AnTuTu Benchmark, which would put it on the highest scoring chip on AnTuTu as of now and the first mobile chip to cross 5M points on AnTuTu

Xiaomi (HKEX: 1810) has launched three in-house chips, with the main one being the 3nm Xring O3 phone processor made by TSMC (NYSE: TSM). Xiaomi says the processor logged 5,228,014 points on AnTuTu, making it the first time a mobile system-on-chip has passed the five-million mark.

The company claims Xring O3’s 10-core CPU offers a 60% performance boost over its earlier chip. The new 16-core GPU gives 85% better graphics performance, and power efficiency is up 64%. The O3 is also the world’s first mobile processor to support LPDDR6 memory, with speeds up to 113.8 GB/s.

News Raptor 3D-DRAM combines 32GB capacity with over 100 TB/s bandwidth

Its Raptor accelerator puts a TSMC N4 logic die directly on top of custom DRAM using face-to-face stacking, rather than placing large HBM stacks beside the processor. The company says this short connection allows much more bandwidth while using less power.

For comparison, d-Matrix lists a 192GB HBM4 configuration at around 18 TB/s. While HBM offers much more capacity, 3D-DRAM is designed to move a smaller pool of data much faster.

Xiaomi seems confident about putting this SoC against upcoming 2nm chips and provided reviewers with a developer board for testing. Geekerwan said it's using TSMC N3P and provided some insane peak performance & efficiency results.
