Η Xiaomi has already started negotiations with the intellectual property (IP) providers to obtain the necessary permits and certifications needed for the manufacture and release of SoC's own.
Σaccording to a new report (via GizmoChina ), Xiaomi “recruits”Specialized staff, with the aim of reorganizing a team that will lead the company to the production of its own chips with which it will supply its own devices, but will also make it widely available in the market.
According to a source who knows a lot about this subject, Xiaomi's main goal is to build a SoC that will be specialized for Smartphones, but as this type of chip is very complicated to build, the next chip to build Xiaomi may not be exclusively related to Smartphones, but it will be a Chip that will have extensive application in various devices and accessories.
At the Xiaomi conference held several months ago, our company announced the new Surge Chip, which became available after four years of research and development.
This Chip is essentially one ISP (Image Signal Processor) chip, and was used in MIX FOLD which was equipped with it for the first time.
According to Xiaomi, the C1 appears is an image processor (ISP), and became available after a two-year investigation, while the company invested about 140 million yuan in its development and construction. In fact, as the company executives revealed to us, this Surge Chip will be updated from generation to generation of Smartphones, and will be used in the company's top flagships in the future.
According to information from AnTuTu, Xiaomi is preparing a new one Surge 5G Chip, which will support the belt Sub 6GHz & 5G, which will make its debut before the end of the year in one of the upcoming flagships of the company.
This chip will be different from Surge C1 - will support 5G networking and will be an important part of the kernel (SoC) of telephones. After its release in 2017, this will be the second SoC for Smartphones to be manufactured by Xiaomi itself.
It is not yet clear whether it will be a complete SoC or whether it will be an additional part of the device that will work as an adjunct to another processor, or whether it will be built using the lithography process in 6nm, 7nm or 8nm. Most likely we see it mounted on mid-range devices.
In addition, chip shortages are a very serious problem facing almost all tech makers this year, and the same chip shortage problem has spread to the Smartphone industry, with many company executives publicly declaring that there is an excessive shortage of chips. chips for this year.
Recently, the CEO of Redmi gave an interview to the media about the phenomenon of lack of chips and expressed his views. THE Lu Weibing he mentioned that,
How many Snapdragon 888s does Xiaomi currently have in stock?
Ο Lu Weibing replies that, in addition to its SoCs Qualcomm and MediaTek that the company has in stock, Xiaomi is exploring the possibility of using its own SoC, such as the C1 appears recently released, but also the new Surge 5G SoC which is rumored to be available by the end of the year.
Xiaomi is rumored to be in constant contact with Samsung and that more than five meetings have already taken place, but we do not know what form of cooperation they are preparing between them. THE Samsung has the ability of production OEM SoCs for third party manufacturers, but also to complete the development of a SoC completely independently.
It is certain that Xiaomi will accelerate the progress in the research for the development of its own new SoC, and maybe this year the first Smartphones will be released by the company that will be equipped with its own Surge 5G SoC which will reveal to us at some point this year.
