Speaking of the Kirin 9000S processor, some netizens feel that its name is too much, because the performance and energy efficiency of the Kirin 9000S are also at the level of Snapdragon 888, and as a result, everyone shouts and beats Snapdragon 888, and Kirin 9000S is full of winning sounds, so is Kirin 9000S really only at the level of Snapdragon 888? What is the reason for this word-of-mouth difference?
In terms of performance scores, the Kirin 9000S scored 1005 points for single-core and 4019 points for multi-core in the GeekBench 5 test, while the Snapdragon 888 scored 1127 points for single-core and 3765 points for multi-core. In 3DMark Wildlife Extreme, the Kirin 9000S scored 1539 points and the Snapdragon 888 scored 1554 points.
It can be seen that in terms of performance scores, Kirin 9000S and Snapdragon 888 are indeed half a catty, energy efficiency, Kirin 9000S CPU high frequency has a bit of an advantage, but the advantage is not big, and the peak CPU energy consumption of Kirin 9000S is about 13W, and GPU energy efficiency, the difference between Kirin 9000S and Snapdragon 888 is also very small.
From the point of view of running scores and energy efficiency, Kirin 9000S and Snapdragon 888 These two U can indeed be said to be Wolong and phoenix chicks, considering that Snapdragon 888 leaves a bad impression on everyone, some netizens are not at ease with Kirin 9000S, thinking that the actual ability of Kirin 9000S is exaggerated, and it is understandable that it is a little out of character.
However, judging from the market data, the Kirin 9000S is indeed a win, the Huawei Mate 60 series equipped with the Kirin 9000S has been in short supply for a long time, and in the face of performance and energy efficiency can crush the Kirin 9000S Snapdragon 8 Gen3, the popularity of the Kirin 9000S is unexpected, because the previous revelations said that the shipment volume of the Kirin 9000S at that time was 2.5 times that of the Snapdragon 8 Gen3.
Obviously, Kirin 9000S not only did not appear in the embarrassing situation of Snapdragon 888, but obtained the results that made friends very envious, what is the reason behind this? Some netizens feel that this is the power of faith, in the domestic market, the Kirin processor is the golden signboard, no matter what its actual performance is, as long as it is a Kirin chip, it will not be sold.
Although the above statement makes some sense, but this is definitely not all, let alone the main factor, the key reason is that Kirin 9000S is Huawei's self-developed product, Huawei can be more aware of the capabilities of this chip, on the mobile phone equipped with this U, the overall product development and design, Huawei can better control.
Huawei knows that the energy efficiency performance of the Kirin 9000S is not very strong, so it can optimize it from the beginning, adopt a better thermal design in the hardware, achieve better scheduling in the software, and combine various more detailed optimizations to improve the lower limit of performance.
On the other hand, Snapdragon 888 is supplied by a third party, and after the actual performance of Snapdragon 888 is clear, it is often too late for manufacturers to make adjustments, and it is impossible for Qualcomm to open all kinds of bottom layers to manufacturers, manufacturers find problems, and Qualcomm needs to cooperate to solve them, Qualcomm's feedback speed will not be so fast, and the final result is that Snapdragon 888 mobile phones generally overturned.
In addition, at that time of Snapdragon 888, Qualcomm dominated the flagship chip market, in this case, even if the products provided by Qualcomm were poor, everyone had to use them, and the opponents faced by Kirin 9000S were not vegetarians, even if Huawei had the blessing of various halos, it would not do whatever it wanted, and the Kirin 9000S product must be optimized, which also improves the experience of the product.
In general, the Kirin 9000S is not excellent in terms of performance and energy efficiency because of the backward process, and can only be compared with the Snapdragon 888, but the Kirin 9000S can better control the overall situation by virtue of its self-developed advantages, can be optimized more deeply and meticulously, and problems can be solved more quickly, and the final product experience can naturally be done better.
Kirin 9000S and Snapdragon 888The difference in reputation undoubtedly reflects the benefits of self-development, self-research may not necessarily reduce the cost a lot, but self-research can provide a better performance lower limit experience, ensure the continuous stability of the product, and avoid the embarrassing situation that the previous generation is a god machine and the next generation is nerve, of course, the premise here is that the self-research level must be in place, if the self-research level is not in place, Samsung Exynos is a typical representative of failure.
