Xiaomi Going To Unveil Its Pinecone Chipsets In Just Three Days

Two days ago, we saw Wang Feng starring in the first Pinecone trailer, and now Xiaomi is pushing a second teaser.
And here is the first trailer featuring the two-time World Memory Champion Feng.

The Pinecones will be Xiaomi's first attempt to enter the chip-making business. High-end Pinecone V970 and mid-range Pinecone V670 are tipped to be made known at the event on February 28.

Pinecone V970 shares lots of similarities with the Huawei's Kirin 960 - the processor is a two-cluster setup with 4x A73 and 4x A53 cores, while the GPU is Mali-G71. Xiaomi's chip will be manufactured on the top notch 10nm process (vs 14nm for Kirin) and its GPU will come with 12 cores (vs 8 for Kirin's).

The Pinecone V670 will be made on the old 28nm process, and will include an octa-core A53 processor and Mali-T860MP2 GPU. These specs are pretty much the same as the MT6750's - quite a mediocre chip that lacks 1080p screen support.
Anyway, enjoy the trailers, take everything else with a healthy pinch of salt, and stay tuned for February 28th.
