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.

        Probably still cause Huawei/Honor phones to lag due to EMUI being so crap

          It is a great advancement and decentralisation of reliance of US manufacturers will bring welcome competition and more economic strength and diversity.

                In the last 3 years only Huawei camera has improved and the old Galaxy S7 is still as good as any new Galaxy or pixel phone.Huawei is innovating and deserve the sales.The only reason I don't buy Huawei is because of it's cartoony UI copied from ios.A lot of us don't buy an iPhone because we don't like ios,not because we can't afford it and that gives us no reason to buy an iPhone clone.

                  If this is true, the antutu benchmark can get 400k points. But I doubt huawei has capability to create that super chipset..

                    Awesome! I might return to huawei if they will return the 3.5mm jack just for that beast.

                      Huawei is destined to become the leader of smartphone companies. Both in sales & technologies. They're incredible & deserve to rule. Samsung should start counting their days! MUAHAHAHA!

                            At least Apple and Huawei keep Qualcomm in check so they won't become the next Intel releasing same rehashed processors for half a decade.

                              4x Cortex-A76 with 2MB L2$ on 7nm process might just cut it, but I don't think it'll be cheap to manufactured

                                5G is releasing in 2020 IIRC. Then I guess that's the same year this beast comes out. Maybe finally something to compete with Apple's SoC.

                                  Very impressive. Must be for next year with all the 5G network thing taking place. Twice the performance of Kirin 970 is something that we look forward to. That thing might score above 400k in antutu.

                                    If it's true, actually double the performance of the Kirin 970 then that is real beast for a phone
