Xiaomi introduced the Xring O3, a 3-nanometer system-on-chip built for its premium smartphones, marking its deepest push yet into flagship silicon design. The chip's 10-core CPU and new G2-Ultra NX GPU pushed its AnTuTu benchmark past 5 million for the first time among flagship processors, while a redesigned NPU delivers 200 TOPS for on-device AI tasks tied to Xiaomi's MiMo platform.

The same leak details MediaTek's rival Dimensity 9600 Pro, also on 2nm, using dual 4.55GHz cores alongside performance and efficiency cores and a Mali G2 Ultra GPU.
