Kirin 980 specs leaked: 2.8 GHz octa-core CPU and custom GPU

23 July 2018
The chipset will have a cluster of four Cortex-A77s and four more Cortex-A55s.

Sort by:

Then after 6 months, a new Snapdragon 8xx chip will be announced, made in 7nm process with GPU 2x more powerful as this SoC's GPU.
But why bother? Neither are a match to the upcoming Apple A12. Snapdragon 845's single core isn't even near the A10 Fusion anyway.

    Isn't ARM just announced Cortex A-76? I still haven't seen any device utilize it and now Huawei already with A-77. Guess A-76 is dead even before released.

          So many confusion. Which is which? I thought the cortex a75 was suppose to be the flagship chipset this year. Is the a77 a next gen chipset?

            GPU which is 1.5 times faster than adreno I would love to see this but next snapdragon will have even faster gpu and I thought A76 was the latest and greatest

              A77? Shouldn't it be A76?

                  Oppaii, 23 Jul 2018Processors are getting faster and faster every year but man... moreMost of the users not using all this "power". It's more for the marketing. Same as megapixels in cameras - people think that more is better.

                    Processors are getting faster and faster every year but many people doesn't even know what it is. Especially in the Philippines they only care about the camera. T_T
