According to the micro-network news, following the official release of Huawei's Kirin 710 last week, Taiwan Electronic Times and Phoenix Network Technology have exposed news about Kirin 980.
According to the news, Huawei Kirin 980 adopts TSMC's 7-nanometer process. The CPU is 4 A77+4 A55s, and the highest frequency is 2.8GHz. The GPU is independently developed by Huawei, and its performance is about 1.5 times that of Adreno 630 (骁龙845). In terms of baseband, Huawei released the 4.5G baseband balong 765 at the beginning of this year, supporting cat19, with a maximum download speed of 1.6Gbps. I wonder if it will join the Kirin 980.
At the same time, Kirin 980 will have built-in second-generation Cambrian NPU 1M, which will greatly improve AI performance. Cambrian 1M also uses TSMC 7nm process, which can intelligently identify application scenarios to schedule GPU operation, achieving graphics performance up to 3 times. Uplifting. The energy consumption ratio is up to 5Tops/W, which is 5 trillion calculations per watt, and provides 3Tops, 4Tops, 8Tops cores of three sizes to meet different scenarios and different levels of AI processing requirements. Recently, Huawei released a The very scary technology - GPU Turbo graphics acceleration technology, can improve the graphics processing capabilities of the chip. Kirin 980 is likely to carry this technology to make up for GPU weaknesses. GPU Turbo upgrade to the second generation, in the original game acceleration Added optimization to the system, smoother operation, and reduced mobile phone power consumption by 30%.
It is reported that this year Huawei's Mate 20 flagship mobile phone is expected to be equipped with Kirin 980 processor. Recently, Jiwei has reported that it is reported that Kirin 980 has entered the pre-production verification work, the design work is basically completed.
Huawei started from the test of the smart phone processor in 2009. In the competition with Qualcomm, from the lag of the Kirin 950, to the proximity of the Kirin 960, to the unicorn 970. This time, whether the Kirin 980 can be used in performance and configuration. Catch up with Qualcomm, it is worth looking forward to. According to the latest data provided by Kirin chip, the shipment of Huawei Kirin chip has accumulated more than 100 million sets.
