It has been reported before that the Kirin 9000 processor will also have a castrated version of the Kirin 9000L, but it will be built using Samsung's 5nm process. At the end of February, Huawei did release the Mate 40E Pro 5G mobile phone equipped with the Kirin 9000L, which cost 6499.
However, from the existing news, Kirin 9000L is still TSMC's 5nm process, but the specifications have shrunk a lot. The Bigcore A77 cut one from the original 3 and now only two remain. The small-core A55 has also shrunk from the original four to the current three. Both the GPU and NPU aspects are the same as the Kirin 9000E. After the shrinkage of specifications, the performance of the Kirin 9000L is believed to be what many people are looking forward to.
Recently, Huawei's mobile phone running score equipped with Kirin 9000L was exposed on the Geekbench website, and it can be seen that the single-core score is between 899 and 968, while the multi-core running score is between 2541 and 2902. Compared with the full-blood version of the Kirin 9000 single-core 1010, the performance decline is still quite obvious in terms of the running score of the multi-core 3723. It is quite close to MediaTek's Tianji 1200 running points last year.
