Yesterday, Huawei held a new product launch conference at the Shenzhen Universiade Stadium, bringing two new models, nova 3, nova 3i. Both of these products have front and rear four cameras. The processors are equipped with flagship unicorn 970, the new mainstream unicorn. 710. This Kirin 710 chip is particularly attractive. It is the main platform for Huawei, the glory of the mainstream model of the future thousand yuan. Although the previous Kirin 659 chip also has a good performance, but it is still poor.
Although the official did not say it, everyone knows that whether it is product positioning or naming, Kirin 710 will point the finger at Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 chip. Since it is an opponent, then let's take a look at the Kirin 710 and Snapdragon 710 chips. It’s weak.
First, let's take a look at the Kirin 710 chip. The Huawei has equipped the Kirin 710 with four A73 cores, four A53 CPU cores, and a 12nm TSMC process. The maximum frequency is 2.2GHz and 1.7GHz, compared to the previous generation. Nuclear performance increased by 75%, multi-core performance increased by 68%. At the same time integrated Mali-G51 GPU, can achieve 130% performance improvement, 100% energy efficiency improvement, significantly improve mobile phone fever, Caton and other issues. In addition, Kirin 710 will also support GPU Turbo, and Google ARCore, HUAWEI AR dual augmented reality engine, can better support various AR functions.
In terms of photography, the Kirin 710 has an independent post-processing unit, which improves overall camera performance by 30%, supports AI scene recognition, recognizes more than 20 scenes, and automatically sets optimal parameters, especially for portraits, night scenes, and sports scenes.
It also supports HDR Sensor, which optimizes the skin tone effect at low color temperature and mixed color temperature, and also makes good-looking portrait photos in a variety of complex lighting environments, and improves the dark shooting strategy for night shot scenes, ensuring clarity and transparency. Image quality. For fast motion scenes that are easy to blur, Kirin 710 supports static, slow, medium, fast four-speed speed monitoring, intelligent adjustment of shutter dynamics, combined with AI motion scene detection, and improved shooting.
Let's take a look at the property parameters of the Snapdragon 710. The Snapdragon 710 is the first of the 700 series chips that was released just a while ago. In terms of core, the Snapdragon 710 also uses 8 cores, consisting of 2 2.2GHz large cores and 6 1.7GHz small core composition, GPU is Adreno 616. Process technology, Snapdragon 710 uses the same Samsung 10nm LPP process as the flagship Snapdragon 845, Snapdragon 850, LPP means 'Low Power Plus', belongs to The second generation of enhanced 10nm process, Samsung claims that compared to the first generation of 10nm LPE process, 10nm LPP process performance is 10% higher under the same power consumption, or 15% lower power consumption under the same performance, is currently the most mobile One of the advanced craft choices.
In addition to performance, AI is also one of the features of the Snapdragon 710. Qualcomm also focuses on introducing this new product from the perspective of AI. Qualcomm claims that Snapdragon 710 integrates the third-generation AI platform, and the new processor calculates the core for three AIs. That is, the CPU, GPU and DSP are fully optimized, including the advanced multi-core artificial intelligence engine AI Engine that supports high-end shooting, speech recognition and game applications.
After the introduction of the chip parameters, let's take a look at the specific running scores. On the Antu rabbit platform, the performance of the Xiaolong 710 chip is 170,000+. The Kirin 710 chip lacks the core part of the Huawei NPU, so the running score is only 13 10,000+, in contrast, there is a big gap. It seems that it is very difficult to make a positive Snapdragon 710 chip. At the same time, the Kirin 710 chip with relatively backward 12nm process technology is used, and the NPU part is missing, so that the Kirin 710 is in terms of AI. Power consumption is also far behind.
Huawei's original design may be like this. From the Kirin 710's design for camera play, effects, etc., the Kirin 710 does not blindly pursue performance, and more is to achieve the goal of balancing all aspects. But this does not cover up. The gap between Kirin 710 and Xiaolong 710, Huawei wants to go beyond Qualcomm comprehensively, and has to go a long way.
