The latest flagship is here
Friends, have you noticed that there has been a "chip fever" in the technology circle recently? Yes, it is the "chip" that seems to be small, but determines the performance of mobile phones. No, Huawei's new flagship Pura 70 mobile phone is dismantled and equipped with a mysterious new chip! As a technology enthusiast, of course, I want to get to the bottom of it and find out the true face of this "king of chips".
I was skeptical at first, too. After all, Huawei is "stuck", how can it suddenly have a new chip? But if you think about it carefully, Huawei, as a domestic technology giant, has definitely invested a lot in chip research and development. Sure enough, after some investigation, I finally found some clues.
Chip process decryption
Let's take a look at the "inside" of this new chip. According to reliable sources, it uses a 7nm process, which can be said to be quite advanced. You should remember that the previous generation of Huawei's flagship chip Kirin 9000 uses the 5nm process, right? The transistor density of the 7nm process is higher, the power consumption is lower, and the performance is naturally more outstanding.
The 7nm process alone is not enough, after all, chip giants such as TSMC and Samsung have mass-produced 3nm chips. So what is the performance of Huawei's 7nm chip?
Deep teardown
With all that said, it's time to take a look at the Pura 70. Through the disassembly, we can get a glimpse of what this mysterious new chip looks like.
The first thing that catches your eye is its unique triangular design. This layout is not only highly recognizable, but also improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the chip and avoids the situation of "warming up". Looking at the internal structure of the chip, the arrangement of high-performance large cores, medium cores and small cores is also symmetrical and orderly, which can maximize the role of each core.
In addition to the CPU, the Pura 70's GPU is equally impressive. It uses the latest graphics processing architecture, which improves performance by more than 50% compared to the previous generation. This is a great relief for gaming and video rendering.
Benchmark test comparison
The theory says so much, but in the end, it is still necessary to speak with scores. Let's take a look at how the Pura 70 with this new chip performs in various benchmark tests.
In terms of CPU, the Pura 70 scored a staggering 1350 points in the GeekBench 5 single-core test, which is already surpassing last year's flagship model. The multi-core score was equally impressive, reaching a high score of 4500 points. Whether it's single-core or multi-core performance, the Pura 70 is far ahead of the rest of the device in its class.
The same is true for GPUs, where the Pura 70 scored extremely well in all of GFXBench's tests, even surpassing the previous-generation flagship Mate 40 Pro. This is all thanks to its outstanding GPU architecture and 7nm process.
In addition to the benchmark score, we can also judge the performance of the Pura 70 from the actual use case. For example, in Genshin Impact, a large-scale mobile game, Pura 70 can perfectly control the highest image quality settings, and the smoothness of the game is not a problem at all.
Multi-faceted experience evaluation
Performance isn't just about gaming. As a flagship phone, the Pura 70 excels in other areas as well.
For example, when taking pictures, the Pura 70 has the industry's top imaging capabilities thanks to its outsole main camera and periscope telephoto lens. Whether it's a night scene, a portrait, or a long shot, it can take detailed, rich, and layered photos.
Another example is video rendering, the Pura 70's built-in professional-grade video codec can edit 8K video in a short time, and the efficiency is truly breathtaking.
Whether it's gaming, taking photos, or office and multimedia creation, the Pura 70 is the "king of chips" that can be easily controlled and deliver a beautiful answer.
Take performance to new heights
Through the above "investigations", I think you should have a comprehensive understanding of Pura 70. As a flagship product that takes the whole thing together, it undoubtedly pushes performance to a new level.
The 7nm process + large and small core design, coupled with the excellent GPU architecture, make the Pura 70 stand out in various evaluations. Not only does this phone have outstanding results on paper, but it is also comfortable in real-world use cases, and it is not inferior to any flagship model at all.
There is still a long way to go for performance. In the future, Huawei will continue to make efforts in chip research and development, and strive to narrow the gap with the international advanced level. For us consumers, it is to wait patiently, and I believe that one day, the strength of domestic chips will completely impress us.
Take performance to new heights
In the previous section, we comprehensively analyzed the performance of the Pura 70 from multiple perspectives. But this is just the beginning, and Huawei has more to look forward to on the road of chip research and development.
It is the continuous advancement of the manufacturing process. Although 7nm is already excellent, compared with international giants such as TSMC and Samsung, Huawei still has a certain gap in this regard. Huawei must increase investment and achieve mass production of 3nm or even 2nm processes as soon as possible in order to truly rank among the top ranks of chip manufacturing.
In addition to the manufacturing process, the innovation of the chip architecture is equally important. At present, the Pura 70 still uses the traditional large and small core design, and although the performance is outstanding, it is already a bit outdated. Huawei needs to try to adopt more advanced architectures, such as ARM's next-generation core Cluster design, or the chip-level convergence architecture that Qualcomm and Apple are working on. Only in this way can we truly achieve the strength of the "core" and give full play to the maximum potential of the chip.
Huawei also needs to increase R&D investment in key components such as GPUs, NPUs, and ISPs. The performance of these components directly determines the performance of the mobile phone in the fields of gaming, AI, and image processing. Only by taking the lead in an all-round way can Huawei's chip strength compete with old giants such as Apple and Qualcomm.
The ecological construction of chips is also an area that needs long-term cultivation. At present, Huawei's mobile phone operating system, HarmonyOS, app stores and other ecosystems are still relatively weak, which seriously restricts the play space of chips. Huawei must make great efforts in this area to build a strong and complete ecosystem to give its own chips wings to take off.
The emergence of the Pura 70 is undoubtedly a vivid demonstration of Huawei's chip strength. However, this is only the beginning, and in order to truly achieve "independent and controllable" chips, Huawei still needs to continue to make efforts in multiple fields such as process, architecture, components, and ecology in order to finally achieve corner overtaking.
As a domestic technology giant, Huawei shoulders the important task of revitalizing domestic chips. I believe that as long as we persevere and diligently, one day, Huawei's chip strength will impress the world!
