At the end of August last year, Huawei's Mate60 series suddenly hit the shelves, bringing back the suppressed functions such as Kirin chips and 5G networks, which means that Huawei has successfully broken through the world's most powerful blockade that is considered impossible to break. In addition to domestic netizens shouting "far ahead", the Mate60 series has also successfully aroused the curiosity of many foreign institutions about the return of Huawei's Kirin chips
After disassembling the Huawei Mate60 series, it was found that the Kirin 9000S processor used a completely self-developed CPU and GPU architecture, and the process used was SMIC's 7nm process. More than half a year has passed, and Huawei has released the new Pura70 series again
On the Huawei Pura70 series, another mysterious chip Kirin 9010 made its debut, which makes people wonder what improvements it has compared to the Kirin 9000S. Recently, TechInsights, a well-known foreign institution that has disassembled Huawei Mate60 Pro and conducted a detailed analysis of the Kirin 9000S, once again disassembled the Huawei Pura70 Ultra and explored the Kirin 9010
It was found that the CPU configuration specifications of the Kirin 9010 are the same as those of the Kirin 9000S, and it still includes an ultra-high-performance Taishan architecture large core, three high-performance Taishan architecture large cores, and four low-power A510 small cores. The only difference is that the maximum clock speed of the two chips is different
The Kirin 9000S can reach a maximum frequency of 2.62GHz, while the Kirin 9010 only has 2.3GHz. As for the multi-threading technology of ultra-large cores and large cores, it is still not fully confirmed, so some software will be recognized as 2+6+4 cores. The most critical information, the Kirin 9010, like the Kirin 9000S, is also made by SMIC, the second-generation 7nm process, that is, N+2
Then you can probably reason that you can know that in fact, Kirin 9010 and Kirin 9000S should be in the same vein, and there is almost no change in the core specifications, but it has achieved about 10% performance improvement with a lower frequency, Xiaozhi's personal analysis should be Huawei's power consumption optimization technology progress for the chip
And there is another important information that can be confirmed, that is, upgraded chips such as Kirin 9000S or Kirin 9010, Huawei has solved its production capacity problem, and it can be mass-produced normally on a large scale and will not be stuck. According to the previous exposure, the Huawei Mate70 series that will debut in the second half of this year will also be equipped with Kirin chips with better performance and more advanced technology, will it be the first domestic 5nm mobile phone chip? Let's wait and see!
