Xiaomi has unveiled the Xring D100, a 3nm self-developed AI processor designed specifically for intelligent driving.
Xiaomi has unveiled its first self-developed high-performance chip for intelligent driving, marking a major expansion of the Chinese technology giant’s push to design the critical computing hardware behind its growing electric vehicle business.
Called the Xring D100, the new processor is built on a 3-nanometer process and is designed specifically for automotive AI workloads. Xiaomi says it is China’s first high-computing-power intelligent-driving chip based on a 3 nm process, and the company plans to begin commercial use in 2027.
The announcement places Xiaomi alongside Chinese automakers including BYD, Nio, Li Auto and XPeng, all of which have been developing proprietary processors for increasingly sophisticated driver-assistance and autonomous-driving systems.

According to reports, the Xring D100 features a 20-core high-performance CPU and a 16-core neural processing unit, or NPU. It also supports up to 160 GB of unified

Perhaps more significantly, Xiaomi says the chip can support the local deployment of AI models containing up to 200 billion parameters.
