Recently, Xiaomi has made significant progress in this area, successfully completing the tape-out of its first 3nm chipset, which is not only an important milestone for Xiaomi, but also a big victory for China's semiconductor industry. Since the establishment of Songuo Electronics in 2014, Xiaomi has continued to invest in chip self-development, and after ten years, from the surging S1 to today's 3nm chip, it has shown its long-term persistence. Xiaomi's self-developed chips have covered many fields such as performance, imaging, and charging management, among which the surging P1 and G1 form an advanced battery management system.
Xiaomi's 3nm chipset was taped out successfully
On October 20, Tang Jianguo, chief economist of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, announced in public that Xiaomi successfully taped out the first 3nm mobile phone system-on-chip in China. Tape-out is a critical step in the chip manufacturing process, which means that the chip design has passed the initial verification, laying the foundation for subsequent mass production and application.
Technological breakthroughs and market impacts
The 3nm process chip has a significant improvement in performance and power consumption compared with the previous generation technology. Compared to 5nm and 7nm processes, the 3nm process can lead to higher transistor density, lower power consumption, and higher performance. This will enable future smartphones to have faster computing speeds, longer battery life, and better multitasking capabilities.

Xiaomi's achievement not only demonstrates its deep strength in the field of chip design, but also reflects its firm determination in independent innovation. Previously, Xiaomi has launched a number of self-developed chips such as surging S1, surging C1, surging G1, surging T1, etc., and the successful research and development of 3nm chips has further consolidated Xiaomi's competitive position in the field of high-end chips.
Future outlook
Although the specs details of Xiaomi's 3nm chip have not yet been revealed, it is foreseeable that this chip will have a significant performance boost and may even reach the existing top-of-the-line mobile processors such as the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 and Dimensity 9300. In addition, with the continuous maturity of technology and the gradual reduction of cost, 3nm chips are expected to become the mainstream configuration of the smartphone industry in the next few years.
Xiaomi's successful tape-out of 3nm chips indicates that the Android camp has fully entered the 3nm era, which will bring a qualitative leap to future smartphones and make them occupy a more advantageous position in the fierce market competition. At the same time, it also injects new vitality into the development of China's semiconductor industry and demonstrates the competitiveness and influence of Chinese enterprises in the global semiconductor industry.
In short, Xiaomi's breakthrough in the field of 3nm chips is not only a reflection of the company's technical strength, but also a symbol of the progress of China's semiconductor industry. With the rapid construction of Xiaomi cars and other ecosystems, the application market for Xiaomi's self-developed chips is constantly expanding, and its performance in smartphones and other fields is worth looking forward to in the future.
