Huawei may be preparing a Kirin 1020 chip, twice as powerful as the Kirin 970

20 June 2018
While the Kirin 980 for the Mate 20 is in mass production, the company is readying a significantly more powerful successor - the Kirin 1020, if rumors are to be believed.

      m4k4r0v, 20 Jun 2018What you just said is misleading...Let's be clear: Apple's ... moreOnly if it's well optimised.
      You are aware that these OSes use distinctively different Architectures!? And making it compatible on the other set is 90% impossible unless you're rewriting the whole thing????

          AnonD-594740, 21 Jun 2018So you made a conclusion based on? Right, nothing. E... moreCorrect. In so many levels
          (I was trying to fking explain my experience! But the system is blocking it. Geez!)

            AnonD-594740, 21 Jun 2018So you made a conclusion based on? Right, nothing. E... moreThat's true. As a developer, to run any OS on a mismatching Chip (like Apple's OS on Snapdragon, or Android on Ax series) you need to rewrite the whole OS.
            I did such a thing, but please don't ask me to do it. X.x

              AnonD-594740, 21 Jun 2018So you made a conclusion based on? Right, nothing. E... moreThat's correct, to actually install a mismatching OS to a mismatching Chip (for example Android on Apple A11)
              You will need to recode everything.
              And yes, one of the Computer Scientists asked my work to do it And I ran Android on the iPhone 7 (back then I had a Nougat rom)
              Ugh, my back starts to ache just from that horrid thought!

                  vrvly, 21 Jun 2018Well they got someone to catch up to, A12 at least.I sure hope so. I HOPE they will use a good governor too

                    Still reminding of Lumia1020. Is it intentional?

                      Well they got someone to catch up to, A12 at least.

                        Shui8, 21 Jun 2018Agreed. EMUI on my Honor 8 Pro never lags at all, even usin... moreEMUI beats every custom Android ROM. Period.
                        Even my low end Y7 Prime (2017) performs better than Crapsung's experience and d old TouchWiz.

                          Anonymous, 20 Jun 2018Well, if someone takes apple's single-core preformance, and... moreNo, that 8-core-thing will at least be 5X more powerful than the 970. And at least 15W TD, if not a bit higher.

                              Every guy who really knows a thing or two on how a chip works says the otherwise. Even people that works on android-related websites.

                                  Cartoonish and IOS ui? It has a lot of theme customization....even my phone looks like Pixel now lol.

                                  Really sad for people that dont own huawei phones and yet complaining about it.

                                    Kirin is always the best chipset of the year...

                                      They must put some muscle to make it more powerful than the next Snapdragon and Exynos, which will be released next couple months after this Kirin SoC.

                                        About time. Kirin 970 is weak. My p20 lags lol. Got the oneplus 6 now. Now thats something.
