Xiaomi 15S Pro with Xring O1 beats iPhone 16 Pro Max with 7% faster multi-core performance
After making a splash with impressive performance leaks, Xiaomi’s Xring O1 was officially introduced last week inside the Xiaomi 15S Pro and the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra. Xiaomi claims some big performance figures for the Xring O1, like a 3 million+ Antutu. For obvious reasons, we can’t really trust first-party numbers.
Thankfully, Max Weinbach has tested the Xring O1-powered Xiaomi 15S Pro in Geekbench 6 and compared the results to the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max. This gives us a pretty good look at the potential of the Xiaomi Xring O1.
Xiaomi Xring O1 vs Apple A18 Pro
The Xring O1 inside the Xiaomi 15S Pro reportedly scores 2,766 and 8,843 in the Geekbench 6 Single-Core and Multi-Core tests. Per our database, the Xring O1’s Single-Core and Multi-Core scores trail the Snapdragon 8 Elite, where the Snapdragon 8 Elite is, on average, around 9% and 4% faster than the Xring O1 in the ST and MT benchmarks, respectively.
The comparison with the Apple A18 Pro is more favorable to the Xring O1. Max Weinbach’s side-by-side Geekbench 6 comparison with the iPhone 16 Pro Max shows the Xiaomi 15S Pro to be 7% faster in the Multi-Core test. This is to be expected since the Xring O1 has 10-core CPU vs a 6-core CPU for the A18 Pro. However, the Xring O1 is 18% slower than the Apple A18 Pro in the Single-Core test.
All in all, this is an impressive showing for Xiaomi since the Xring O1 is the company’s first-ever in-house SoC. If the chip is also efficient, as Xiaomi promises, we could see Xiaomi completely move away from using MediaTek/Qualcomm SoCs in its high-end devices.
Sadly, the Xiaomi 15S Pro isn’t available in the global markets yet. So, extensive testing from different Western outlets is unlikely to be here anytime soon. We’ll put the Xring O1 through its paces as soon as we have the Xiaomi 15S Pro or the Pad 7 Ultra in our hands.
