Xiaomi’s in-house Xring O1 SoC, debuting in the Xiaomi 15S Pro, has narrowly surpassed the Snapdragon 8 Elite in an early AnTuTu benchmark, scoring 2,535,163 against 2,515,259. Set for a May 22 launch, it signals Xiaomi’s bold step into flagship chipset competition.
A lead over the Snapdragon 8 Elite is impressive for a first-gen chip
Xiaomi is gearing up to unveil its first self-developed SoC, the Xring O1, powering the Xiaomi 15S Pro and Pad 7 Ultra at its May 22, 2025, event in China, alongside the Xiaomi YU7 SUV. A leaked review video by Chinese creator 阿文鉴机, which was later removed, revealed the Xring O1’s AnTuTu performance, edging out the Snapdragon 8 Elite in the Xiaomi 15 Pro with a score of 2,535,163 to 2,515,259. This 0.79% lead, while modest, is notable for a first-generation chipset from a smartphone manufacturer.
The Xring O1’s 10-core CPU (2x Cortex-X925 at 3.9GHz, 4x Cortex-A725 at 3.4GHz, 2x Cortex-A725 at 1.89GHz, 2x Cortex-A520 at 1.8GHz) and Mali-G925 Immortalis GPU deliver robust performance, per Geekbench listings scoring 3,119 single-core and 9,673 multi-core, closely trailing the Snapdragon 8 Elite’s 3,089 and 9,405. However, the Snapdragon 8 Elite shines brighter in some devices, like the RedMagic 10S Pro+, which hits over 3.15 million on AnTuTu.
While the Xring O1’s benchmark parity with Qualcomm’s flagship is impressive, questions linger about its efficiency and thermal performance, critical for real-world use. With 16GB RAM, a rumored 6.7-inch 2K OLED, 6,500mAh battery, and 90W charging, the 15S Pro is shaping up to be a premium contender. Will Xiaomi’s chip challenge Qualcomm’s dominance, or will thermals hold it back? We’re pumped to find out!
