Xiaomi to Replace Nvidia With Its Own Chip
Xiaomi is preparing to move away from Nvidia chips in its vehicles. The company has unveiled its own 3 nm chip, called the Xring D100, for smart driving systems. The new chip is planned for use in Xiaomi electric vehicles starting in 2027. Xiaomi currently uses the Nvidia Drive platform to power smart driving features in its SU7 and YU7 models. Once the Xring D100 is integrated into its vehicles, Xiaomi will significantly reduce its dependence on Nvidia in this area.
The Xring D100 is built using a 3 nm process. The chip features a 20-core CPU and a 16-core NPU for artificial intelligence computations. It supports up to 160 GB of unified memory. According to Xiaomi, these specifications could allow an AI model with up to 200 billion parameters to run inside the vehicle itself. This means that some AI computations could be performed directly in the vehicle without being sent to cloud servers. However, Xiaomi has not disclosed TOPS (trillion operations per second), one of the key metrics indicating the D100's computing power. It is therefore not yet possible to make a real-world performance comparison between the chip and Nvidia's existing automotive platforms. The company said it has invested more than 21 billion yuan, approximately 3.1 billion dollars, in this field since relaunching its chip program. Xiaomi's chip development team currently has approximately 3,000 employees. The D100 was not the only chip unveiled. Xiaomi also introduced the O100 AI accelerator and the O3 processor for mobile devices. The O3 is intended to be used in one of the company's foldable smartphones. These chips are manufactured using TSMC's 3 nm technology.
