Xiaomi's new chipset, XRing O1, is a star. The TSMC-made 3nm chipset has made dozens of trips to Geekbench for testing ahead of its official debut this week, delivering CPU and GPU scores on par or even better than what Snapdragon 8 Elite phones offer.

Xiaomi's in-house XRing O1 chipset made its Geekbench debut days ago with scores somewhere between the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Elite. It appears, however, that the deca-core chipset may perform even better than that.

Since our original report, XRing O1 has been tested dozens of times on Geekbench, posting results that see it compete effectively with Qualcomm's current-gen flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Trawling through the slew of Geekbench 6 listings reveals that XRing manages a peak single-core score of 3,119 and a multi-core one of 9,673.

Those numbers mean XRing O1 flat-out outperforms the Dimensity 9400. That chipset only managed max scores of 2748 and 8574 in our tests aboard the Vivo X200 Pro. While the Xiaomi chipset's best numbers don't quite match the Snapdragon 8 Elite's best—on devices like the Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro and Zenfone 12 Ultra—they're on par with the average. The Xiaomi 15 Pro, for example, scores 3,089 and 9,405 on the single-core and multi-core tests respectively.

On the GPU end, XRing peaks with an OpenCL score of 21,789, and a Vulkan score of 22,600. The Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered Xiaomi 15 maxes out at 19,224 on the OpenCL test, and 25,176 on the Vulkan test, indicating parity between Xiaomi's XRing O1 and the Qualcomm chipset.
