There is no press conference, no warm-up, Huawei Mate60 Pro mobile phone is directly on sale. This day is the highlight of the cumulative sales of 100 million Huawei Mate mobile phones, and it is also a milestone day for the return of Huawei's Kirin chips.
You must know that in 2019, Huawei was "stuck in the neck" of the United States, and all foundries could not help its foundry processors, holding the most 5G patents, but unable to produce 5G mobile phones, relying on inventory to support 4G shipments. That kind of discomfort can be imagined, but Huawei did not give up, and HiSilicon chip was not discouraged.
Needless to say, I believe that friends who care about Huawei know the hardships. Huawei Mate 60 Pro has just been pre-sold, and some netizens have got the real machine in the physical store in Shenzhen, and the online mall is even more difficult to find.
Netizens also conducted speed tests for the first time, and the maximum measured speed on site averaged between 500Mbps-800Mbps, far exceeding the upper limit of 4G of 100Mbps, proving that 5G is fully supported.
However, Huawei never mentioned 5G, and curious netizens directly broadcast the disassembly. This dismantling caused everyone to marvel: "Qilin" 5G is undoubted. Although the official processor model has not been announced, many testing software is temporarily marked as "Kirin 9000S".
From the processor silkscreen printing information, it can be seen that the processor tape-out is in the 35th week of 2020, which is the climbing stage of SMIC's high-end process, it is likely that SMIC mass production for Huawei, using 14nm process multi-clock exposure technology, to achieve 7nm, 5nm process, but the yield rate is about 60%, the cost is slightly increased, I believe that the mystery will be revealed at Huawei's autumn new model conference on September 12.
It is worth mentioning that AnTuTu also synchronized the running score and revealed the analysis of the Mate 60 Pro processor:
The currently identified chip model is Kirin 9000s, from the cpuinfo information, the CPU part adopts a 12-core design, the specific architecture is 2+6+4, including two A34 cores, six customized A78AE cores, and four A510 cores, the highest frequency is 2.62GHz; the GPU model is Maleoon, which seems to be a new architecture, and no more information has been identified for the time being.
Industry reviews said that Kirin 9000s performs better than Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 and is slightly inferior to Snapdragon 8. In other words, if there were no American card neck, Huawei's Kirin chip would have surpassed Qualcomm's most advanced processor.
We know that Apple also has a press conference in September, Huawei's target opponent is Apple, and in the past few days, US Secretary of Commerce Raimondo is visiting China, Huawei's low-key pre-sale Mate 60 Pro, is to tell the United States, the development of Chinese chips, the United States can not stuck!
Once Huawei had no processors available, and could only silently optimize 4G when others sold 5G. Now with 5G, Huawei doesn't have much fanfare, as the Mate 60 Pro supports two-way satellite calls. In other words, Huawei is not returning to 5G, but surpassing 5G.
This can be seen from the packaging of the mobile phone: "satellite mobile terminal", and most manufacturers have marked "5G digital mobile phone", Huawei Mate 60 Pro is the first mass smartphone that supports satellite calls!
At present, only the Kirin 9000 model in the world supports four-band Beidou positioning, plus the two-way call function, which is no longer comparable to ordinary 5G mobile phones. In addition to the performance, the design of the model is also eye-catching.
On August 4 this year, at the HDC 2023 developer conference, Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei Device BG, released the Hongmeng 4 operating system. He said at the meeting, "The light boat has passed the mountain of ten thousand, and Huawei mobile phones are on the road to return. "It seems that President Yu is not bragging.
Many industry insiders said that the sales of the Mate 50 series are about 5 million, and it is expected that the Mate 60 series can exceed 6 million, and they are more optimistic about the conference next spring after the return of Huawei's Kirin processor.
Let's wait and see. Here is a prediction, it will not be long before American chip manufacturers will come to the door to seek cooperation, this matter Ren always said: in the future, when there is a surplus of chips in the world, there will be people begging us to buy chips! #What does the release of Huawei Mate60 mean##分析师: The Mate60 series is expected to break 6 million units##华为Mate60Pro拆解: The return of the Kirin #
