Huawei unveiled the brand new Mate 70 collection earlier in the present day, however was secretive about what chipsets are used within the new telephones. Early speculations pointed to a “Kirin 9100” with ARM Cortex cores, however that doesn’t appear to be the case – although this too is predicated on unofficial data coming from Weibo.
A photograph from one of many new Huawei Mate 70 telephones exhibits that the chipset is named the Kirin 9020. That is sensible for the successor to the Kirin 9010.
Unofficial particulars on the HiSilicon Kirin 9020
The {hardware} data app describes a 12-core CPU – two prime cores at as much as 2.5GHz, six center cores at as much as 2.1GHz and 4 little cores at as much as 1.6GHz. There’s a “however” right here, because the chipset helps hyperthreading, i.e. two logical cores on one bodily core. Besides not all cores have hyperthreading (sure, that is getting convoluted).
The Kirin 9010 had a 1+3+4 configuration of bodily cores with hyperthreading on the large and mid cores however not the small ones, so the logical CPU cores are 2+6+4. Which is strictly what we’re seeing with the Kirin 9020.
This means that the brand new Kirin chip makes use of HiSilicon’s Taishan CPU cores for the highest two clusters and never ARM cores. That mentioned, the 4 small cores are probably Cortex-A510 like on earlier 9000-series chips.
Huawei Mate 70 Professional
The GPU is one other in-house design, listed as Maleoon 920. It runs at as much as 840MHz, which tops the Maleoon 910 (as much as 750MHz) on the Kirin 9010. There are not any particulars on the structure and compute unit depend on the brand new GPU.
In keeping with Huawei’s inside testing, the Kirin 9020 is a few 40% quicker general in comparison with the earlier chipset used within the Pura 70 collection. Nonetheless, the vanilla Huawei Mate 70 may be utilizing the 9010 too, whereas the 9020 chips are reserved for the upper finish fashions: Mate 70 Professional, Professional+ and RS Final. Presumably the Mate X6 additionally obtained the brand new chipset. Once more, that is simply hypothesis, Huawei hasn’t revealed any particulars on the matter formally.
