Xiaomi Corp said on Monday that it will unveil its 3-nanometer XRing O1 chip for smartphones on Thursday, marking the company's revived ambitions to bolster its semiconductor prowess.

小米公司周一宣布，将于周四发布其3纳米智能手机芯片XRing O1，这标志着该公司重振半导体实力的雄心。

The new chip, a result of over four years of intensive research and development efforts, will position Xiaomi to compete directly with leading global chip designers, but it remains to be seen how the actual products will perform on handsets, experts said.

这款新芯片是小米历经四年多潜心研发的成果，将使其能够与全球领先的芯片设计公司直接竞争，但专家表示，实际产品在手机上的表现如何仍有待观察。

Lei Jun, CEO and chairman of Xiaomi, said via a post on Sina Weibo that the company's cumulative investment in the XRing O1 chips had exceeded 13.5 billion yuan ($1.9 billion) by the end of April.

小米首席执行官兼董事长雷军在新浪微博上表示，截至4月底，公司在XRing O1芯片上的累计投资已超过135亿元人民币（约合19亿美元）。

The investment is part of Xiaomi's broader ambition to invest 50 billion yuan into chip R&D from 2021 to 2031.

这项投资是小米宏伟计划的一部分，该计划旨在从2021年到2031年在芯片研发上投入500亿元人民币。

Xiaomi now has a 2,500-strong semiconductor R&D team driving innovation, enforcing its position among China's top three chip design firms in both R&D spending and team scale, Lei said.

雷军表示，小米目前拥有一支2500人的半导体研发团队，致力于推动创新，巩固了其在研发支出和团队规模方面位居中国三大芯片设计公司之列。

The company's top executive also emphasized the significance of the achievement.

该公司高管也强调了这一成就的意义。

"Reaching this milestone demanded unwavering commitment, courage and substantial technical and financial resources. The XRing O1 marks just the beginning of our journey to redefine high-end semiconductor capabilities in the global market."

“达到这一里程碑需要坚定不移的承诺、勇气以及大量的技术和资金投入。XRing O1标
