Huawei reportedly appears all set to launch its next-generation flagship chipset HiSilicon Kirin 980. The all-new SoC will succeed the company's current generation Kirin 970. Reports coming from China suggest that the processor may launch at the upcoming IFA 2018 trade show in Berlin, Germany.
Rumoured specifications of Kirin 980 SoC
According to a report, the upcoming Kirin 980 SoC will be clocked at 2.8GHz and will be built by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturer Company (TSMC) on 7nm architecture. The new chip is expected to have quad-core of Cortex A77 and Cortex A55 CPUs.
The leaks also suggest that the upcoming Kirin processor will come with Huawei’s own graphics processor, instead of Mali GPU to provide almost 1.5 times better graphics performance than the Snapdragon processors. It is also said to be equipped with the company’s own GPU Turbo technology for graphics acceleration.
The rumours have further revealed that the upcoming chipset could come with the LTE Cat 19 for high-speed internet connectivity.
Apart from this, the Kirin 980 is also rumoured to come with the second generation of NPU unit for better machine-learning and artificial intelligence-powered features. The latest NPU unit is developed by Cambricon Technologies and the company claims 5 trillion calculations per watt from the next-generation NPU unit.
The alleged benchmark scores of Kirin 980-powered Huawei Mate 20 Pro are 356,819. Looking at the competion, the ANTUTU score of Snapdragon 845-powered OnePlus 6 is 282,275.
On a related note, Huawei recently launched the successor of its mid-range processor HiSilicon Kirin 659 processor. Dubbed as Kirin 710

Huawei Said to Be Working on a Kirin 1020 SoC – 2x Performance of Kirin 970 and Might Compete Against the Snapdragon 1000
3 minutes
The latest growth from Huawei’s chip production division, HiSilicon has introduced a explanation indicating towards a workings of an even some-more absolute chipset than a Kirin 980, called a Kirin 1020. Apparently, a Chinese hulk wants to benefit a top palm in a opening marketplace opposite Qualcomm and as a gossip states, it will be means to broach twice a opening of a Kirin 970, that is a SoC found in inclination like a P20 Pro.
