TAIPEI — China’s top smartphone maker Xiaomi on Thursday introduced its first self-developed smartphone chipset, produced with the same cutting-edge technology that Apple uses, as the handset maker continues working to upgrade its offerings amid growing Washington-Beijing tensions.
The Xring O1 smartphone system-on-chip (SoC) was designed to be manufactured using Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s 3-nanometer chip production technology, currently the most advanced in the world. In addition to Apple, leading mobile chip developers MediaTek and Qualcomm use TSMC’s 3-nm tech for their chips.
