HiSilicon Kirin 9000S
As a flagship smartphone processor, the Kirin 9000s is stacked with bleeding-edge features. It features a 5nm design with 1 monster Cortex-X1 core, 3 powerful A78 cores, and 4 efficiency A55 cores plus a 24-core Mali GPU.
Early benchmarks show the 9000s has graphics performance on par with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which is just wild for a Huawei chip. It’s 7% faster overall than the older Kirin 9000 too.
With its advanced 5G modem and speedy Octa-Core neural processing unit, this Kirin looks like an AI powerhouse as well. Huawei is coming out swinging against Qualcomm!
While availability may be limited outside China, the Kirin 9000s shows Huawei still has the engineering might to take on the top mobile chipmakers.
