Huawei's HiSilicon Kirin 980 CPU core frequencies finally revealed

05 September 2018
Clock speeds are still far from ARM and TSMC's projected clocks in their papers.

    From the leaked benchmark results of the snapdragon 855 and the Kirin 980 there is a very minimal difference in the performance of the two. Both will be great but I think the 980 will be more power efficient plus it has the dual npu's.

      Best chipset on android in 2018

        Thesis86, 06 Sep 2018A three cluster system? Why not just...use better cooling t... moreA cooling system just "prevent" the SoC from throttling.

        It doesnt help with the power consumption of the SoC itself, and the A76 consumes a lot.

          dude111, 06 Sep 20183300/10300 vs 3600/10500? Yep, the difference is abysmal.Yeah 855 will be ahead for same margin as 845 was ahead of 970...combining the fact the Adreno will obliterate poorly optimized Mali again...i feel sorry for Huawei in front. They will have to invent more GPU Turbo gimmicks and cheat on more benchmarks to stay relevant.

            Someone mind explaining? I'm kinda lost with this.

              A three cluster system? Why not just...use better cooling technology?

                If is it battery friendly i don't care for core frequencies.

                      I don't get the point behind two A76 clusters. Why not just one big cluster? Any modern processor can dynamically control clock speeds and even turn off unused cores. Unless that's just marketing gibberish. 2×2.6+2×1.95+4×1.8 seems more impressive that 4×1.95 (up to 2.6)

                        Don Hrle, 06 Sep 2018Can't wait for snap 855 to blew that thing out of the radar If the leaks are real, they wont.

                        Although, Huawei has been caught cheating on benchmarks... so who knows lol

                          Anonymous, 06 Sep 20182.6 ghz seems kinda low on 7nm since the 845 already reache... moreOne Cortex A76 @3Ghz can consume almost 3W even on 7nm

                          Thats A LOT. Almost like the Apple A11 on 10nm.
                          They cant clock it higher or will end up in the same situation than Samsung and the M4, which is clocked at 2.7Ghz but on only one core.

                          Pretty sure QC would opt for a similar aproach (like Samsung or Huawei) and not clock all the cores that high.

                            Can't wait for snap 855 to blew that thing out of the radar

                              2.6 ghz seems kinda low on 7nm since the 845 already reaches 2.8 on 10 nm imagine on 7
