Huawei claims the Kirin 980 is faster than Apple’s A12 Bionic

24 September 2018
The company says its 7nm process chipset is the fastest while at a product brief in Dubai.

Sort by:

This may turn out to be another massive lie like Kirin 970 and GPU TURBO.
Even the benchmarks they put out will be fabricated! Let's hope they bring something significant.

    NicolasBrulay, 24 Sep 2018Huawei are best in class already in terms of battery/energy... moreI'm just saying that battery efficiency should be more prioritized over speeds.

      Taking it with a pinch of salt.Will see in a month. Will be happy if it's so, as the reign of Apple should stop, price is becoming crazier every year and the "terms" Apple uses for their iPhones are becoming lies.

          You read Anandtech analysis of Kirin 970? Kirin is anything but efficient. Go home kid.

            Sinkler, 24 Sep 2018Lol Kirin 960 beats a10. Stop spewing bsWhat ? Are you in proper state of mind?
            Kirin 970 was a failure crippled with cheating, 960 was even more inferior.

                Chinese companies have no qualms whatsoever to lie or exaggerate to the level of lie, best case scenario is that in the end, in one specific parameter the Kirin will beat A12.
                Overall, it would be much slower.
                Worst case scenario will be that on specific graphics they will compare iphone max on regular resolution with hua on “gaming optimised” resolution.
                But this is not important, fanbois will remeber Kirin is as good as A12 and “second best” is where Hua wants to be in mindshare. See? Lies are working.

                        I hope that it's true because they might be proclaiming themselves again as the best among the rest.

                          They are not wrong, after a year Apple will most likely throttle their A12 down anyways so their sheep will buy the next iphone hahaha xD

                              They have posted extreme gains regarding the 980.

                                Same number of transistors.. plus having to run the unoptimised Google OS.

                                Plus want to compare to a optimised iOS12.....? Clearly its lying.

                                Huawei, just admit it.. don't bother fake your benchmark scores and bring more disgrace to yourself. Just say you lose, and sell at lower price.

                                  Hmm. Shots fired.

                                  We'll find out for sure once both arrives in our hands. It'll be interesting to see where the SD 855 and the Exynos 9820 will be in the scheme of things.

                                      I expect it to be better than SD845, but being better than A12 is a while different thing... I don't it, but if it's true, then Qualcomm should feel threatened.

                                        How about they work on battery efficiency better.. Average user will not see the difference between Antutu score of 120k and 350k. But will see the difference between 1 and 3 days.
