The Kirin 980 processor just released at IFA was officially unveiled in China on September 5. At the media communication meeting in Shanghai, Huawei fellow Aiwei and domestic media introduced the main features of Kirin 980. Thanks to 7nm The application of the technology, Kirin 980 brings more powerful performance and AI ability than the previous generation, and also has better performance in energy consumption than above. Although the communication shows only the demo of Kirin 980, but this solution Not far from us, the Huawei Mate 20, which was officially released on October 16, will be launched on the Kirin 980.
Kirin 980 is rich in features, but the most attractive is the 7nm process, which is also the first mobile phone chip in the industry to adopt 7nm process. As we all know, the improvement of the process will inevitably lead to higher integration, which means the same More transistors can be added to the area of the processor, resulting in better performance, while energy consumption can also perform better. It is worth mentioning that Kirin 980 is also the first product of the ARM Cortex-A76, it uses 2 Super-core (A76@2.6Ghz) + 2 large core (A76@1.92Ghz) + 4 small core (A55@1.8GHz) new architecture, combined with Flex-SchedulingTM intelligent scheduling mechanism, can balance performance and energy consumption performance.
In the demo of the scene, Kirin 980 succinctly demonstrated large games such as NBA2K without any Kardon in the actual measurement, and also greatly advanced the competition plan in terms of AI computing power.
In terms of network capabilities, Kirin 980 supports LTE Cat.21, with the industry's fastest 1.4Gbps peak download rate. In order to experience the 5G network test in the coming year, Kirin 980 also implements 5G solution through the 5G chip combination of Baron 5000. Program.
Since Huawei P9, taking pictures has always been the strength of Huawei's mobile phones. In order to consolidate this mobile phone function, which is currently the most valued by users, Kirin 980 has also brought a new generation of dual-core ISPs. The direct benefit is that image processing speed is increased by 46%. , shooting energy efficiency increased by 23%, shooting response speed increased by 33%. At the same time multiple noise reduction can also ensure a more pure picture and richer details.
In general, at least in 2018, Kirin 980 will be the best mobile phone processor in the market. The advanced process and Huawei's painstaking research will be the birth of the most powerful chip of this generation. In one month. After that, we will officially experience the charm of this processor on Huawei Mate 20. The small partners who pay attention to it will pay attention to the evaluation of the mobile phone channel of Tianji.
