XiaoMi is trying to develop its own processor

Recently, as our news, Xiaomi wants to make cooperation with Leadcore Technology to develop their own processor for its smart phones.

In 2014, XiaoMi has sold over 61 million pieces smart phones. Since the high sales volume, once any problem with its supply chain, it will be a big shock to XiaoMi. So, XiaoMi can not rely on Qualcomm and Leadcore too much. More important, there are many smart phones suppliers adopting Qualcomm and Leadcore processors, that is why XiaoMi wants to develop its own processor.

Leadcore is one well known company in China. It has the 3G TD-SCDMA, 4G TD-LTE Advanced patents. That is why XiaoMi chooses Leadcore. But as our estimation, XiaoMi will still choose Qualcomm for its high end smart phones since it can not develop a processor which can beat Qualomm in short time.

As we know, the XiaoMi RedMi 2A does not choose processor from Qualcoom, but from Leadcore. Its price is also less than 100 US dollars. Compared with RedMi 2 which adopts Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad core processor, it is about 15 US dollars cheaper.

As we know, Samsung took over 4 years to develop its 64 bit processor, and it may be launched next year. Now, the war of mobile processor has started.
