Xiaomi debuts XRING 01 chip to rival Snapdragon 8 Elite and Dimensity 9400
Chinese smartphone company Xiaomi has revealed XRING 01, its first-ever in-house design chipset for mobile devices. The company's new chipset features a deca-core CPU accompanied by an ARM Immortalis-G925 MC16 GPU.
While the Dimensity 9400, MediaTek's fastest chipset that competes against the Snapdragon 8 Elite, has the same GPU, the Xiaomi XRING 01 has 16 shader cores compared to 12 on MediaTek. Built in TSMC's 3nm N3E process, Xiaomi claimed that its new custom processor obtained an AnTuTu score of around 30 million, but a new report by Wccftech says that the actual score is somewhere around 26 million, which means it is slightly slower than the Snapdragon 8 Elite and the Dimensity 9400.
On the CPU front, the XRING 01 beats the Dimensity 9400 but falls short of matching the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Also, unlike the newest MediaTek and Qualcomm flagship chipsets, Xiaomi's new chip packs an external modem. Taking of the GPU, the slightly weaker Dimensity 9400 GPU comes close to the Snapdragon 8 Elite, but we will have to see if the XRING 01's graphics capabilities can surpass Qualcomm's latest flagship chipset.
For those wondering, Xiaomi just announced that the first devices to be powered by the XRING 01 chipset are the Xiaomi 15S Pro smartphone and the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra, both of which are currently only available in China. This means that we will have to wait and see if these devices find their way to the global market or if the Snapdragon 8 Elite competitor stays China exclusive.
The XRING 01 may not be impressive at first, but considering this is Xiaomi's in-house designed chip, it will be interesting to see if the company plans to design more or if this was a one-off thing. Also, AnTuTu tests are more than just the chipset, meaning other components might also affect the final score. Still, this is a huge step by Xiaomi in the right direction.

National security risk: Canada bans security cameras in government agencies from this Chinese company; ceases local operations
Canada has banned security cameras from the Chinese company Hikvision in government agencies . The country has also ordered Hikvision's Canada unit to cease all local operations, citing national security risks . Canada's Industry Minister Melanie Joly took to the social media platform X (earlier Twitter) to announce this decision. The Canadian government noted that Hikvision Canada's continued operations would be "injurious to Canada's national security" following a review under the Investment Canada Act . The ban includes prohibiting the purchase or use of Hikvision products within government departments, agencies, and crown corporations. The minister clarified that the review's scope does not extend to Hikvision's affiliate operations outside of Canada. What Canada's Industry Minister Melanie Joly said about 'banning' Hikivision Sharing the X post, Minister Joly wrote: 'My statement on Hikvision Canada Inc. following a national security review under the Investment Canada Act.' The statement read: 'Following a National Security Review under the Investment Canada Act, the Government of Canada has ordered Hikvision Canada Inc. to cease all operations in Canada and close its Canadian business. The government has determined that Hikvision Canada Inc.'s continued operations in Canada would be injurious to Canada's national security. This determination is the result of a multi-step review that assessed information and evidence provided by Canada's security and intelligence community. The scope of this National Security Review under the Investment Canada Act does not extend to Hikvision's affiliate operations outside of Canada. However, I strongly encourage all Canadians to take note of this decision and make their own decisions accordingly. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo In addition to this action, the Government of Canada is prohibiting the purchase or use of Hikvision products in government departments, agencies, and crown corporations. The Government of Canada is further conducting a review of existing properties to ensure that legacy Hikvision products are not used going forward. The Government of Canada welcomes foreign investment - but will never compromise on Canada's national security.'

World's first-ever fully autonomous AI robot football match held in China; here's what happened
Representative image The world's first-ever football match between AI-powered humanoid robots was held in China recently. This match featured humanoid robots wearing black and purple jerseys, competing in a 3 vs 3 match, which was played for two 10-minute halves, a report claimed. In this match, the movements of the robots were guided by built-in algorithms. Instead of testing fast-paced action, the event was said to be aimed at showing balance, agility, and AI-based decision-making. As per the report, the robots even raised their fists after scoring. These games, in which Chinese technology institutions reportedly participated, highlighted developments in machine autonomy . Such a match is said to be the first in China and may be a preview for the upcoming World Humanoid Robot Games , which are also set to be held in Beijing. According to a report by China News Network (seen by Bloomberg), teams from Tsinghua University and Beijing Information Science and Technology University participated. A Tsinghua team, named Vulcan, won the championship, the report added. A video of the same was also shared by Beijing Evening News. What the organisers of the AI robot football match said In a statement to the news agency AP, the organisers of the AI robot match said that a key aspect of the match was that all the participating robots operated fully autonomously using AI-driven strategies without any human intervention or supervision. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Waterproofing Solutions [Explore Options] Waterproofing Services Learn More Undo Fitted with advanced visual sensors, the robots were able to detect the ball and move around the field with reasonable agility. They were built to stand up on their own after falling, though some still needed to be carried off the field on stretchers by staff during the match, adding a realistic element to the event, the organisers noted. These robots were supplied by a company named Booster Robotics, the publication adds. The company's CEO, Cheng Hao, said that sports competitions provide a practical environment for testing humanoid robots, supporting progress in both algorithms and integrated hardware-software systems.

Donald Trump says he has a buyer for TikTok, but won't reveal who for ‘two weeks'
US President Donald Trump has stated that he has identified a buyer for the US arm of the Chinese short-video app TikTok but won't provide the details for another two weeks. Trump noted that the ByteDance-owned app will be purchased in the US by a 'group of very wealthy people' during a recent interview with Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. 'We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way. I think I'll need probably China approval and I think President Xi will probably do it,' Trump added in the interview. The US President had also shown his inclination to extend the deadline for the TikTok ban for the third consecutive time, which would give the company time to sell its US assets within 90 days beyond 19 June. As per Bloomberg, a deal was close to being struck for the US arm of TikTok before Trump announced his so-called reciprocal tariffs in April. The deal was reportedly being advanced by a consortium of US investors, which included the likes of Oracle Corp., Blackstone Inc., and venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. Since the announcement of tariffs, however, there has been little movement on the sale of TikTok as tensions between the US and China rose over tariff negotiations. A bipartisan law was passed by the US Congress last year required the sale of TikTok to US buyers or a ban on the popular social media app owing to national security concerns arising from its Chinese connections. The app was briefly banned in the US before Trump took office, but the Republican leader quickly gave an extension that allowed it to operate in the US. Notably, the scrutiny on TikTok had begun during Trump's first term when the Republican leader sought a ban on the app. Since then, however, he has reversed his position as he believes that TikTok helped him win support with young voters during the elections last year. "I have a little warm spot in my heart for TikTok," Trump said in an interview with NBC in May.
