Shadocx, 13 Sep 2019But dude, they're using ARM Cortex-A76 again and Mali G76, ... moreDoesn't matter that much as they are using high quantity of transistor 10.3billions and more cores of mp16 gpu and they will rule next 6month till Snapdragon 865 arrives thats how the cycle goes 5months of Kirin and next 6-7 month of Qualcomm so why so much fuss! Cry as much as you want but no android processor even comes close to defeat kirin 990 currently

    darkmax, 13 Sep 2019Wow! Proclaiming something you don't know much about, just ... moreBut dude, they're using ARM Cortex-A76 again and Mali G76, Cortex-A77 and Mali G77 were already announced so obviously Kirin 990 will be inferior to the next Snapdragon and Exynos.
    It's like the Kirin 990 is competing with SD 855+ and Exynos 9825.
    Anyway, let's not forget the US trade ban stuff, maybe Huawei couldn't use ARM Cortex-A77 and Mali G77 because of that.
    I hope the US trade ban is over soon so Huawei can release a SoC with Cortex-A77 and Mali G77 before 2020.

      r33fd, 13 Sep 2019This is so bad. Snapdragon 865 will demolish this.And Kirin 1000 will 'demolish' SD 865. So?

        g6 user, 13 Sep 2019terrible chipset performance such bad phone dead before arrivalWow! Proclaiming something you don't know much about, just because it is Huawei!

          I saw some days ago this mentioned on a site: mate 30/mate 30 pro/mate 30 5G.
          Guess its the mate 30X or... I hope :-)

            This is so bad.
            Snapdragon 865 will demolish this.

              Good to know that it is indeed coming with Android 10. That already makes it more enticing than it's android competitors.

              Also, i don't know how well that score fares (never gave a F about benchmark scores), but i know the real-life performance of Kirin is damn satisfying. Also that 4k60fps video means that Huawei has finally improved their video recording performance.

              Looking forward to see what Huawei has up it's sleeves this time. I'm expecting a phone that delivers on all areas.

                g6 user, 13 Sep 2019terrible chipset performance such bad phone dead before arrivalMulticore is already 200 points above Apple's A12 bionic ........ And single core is the second best after Samsung's cores in Android.

                  g6 user, 13 Sep 2019terrible chipset performance such bad phone dead before arrivalYou have definitely lost your mind thats a top notch score on top of that its for a 4G underclocked kirin990 the 5G kirin990 gonna hit 12k mark easily which is way higher than Snapdragon 855plus! As a example Note10+ scores around 10500 so this is way ahead of competition

                    Z, 13 Sep 2019The low end Kirin 990 not the Kirin 990 5G , which comes wi... morelol ... it is not "low end" it is 4G , and yeah K990 5G base frequency is a bit higher at 1,95 GHz.

                        The low end Kirin 990 not the Kirin 990 5G , which comes with higher clocked cores . Multicore should be 12500 approx..
