          Gobinath, 01 Oct 2019I can't find any reason for not using a77 in 990 processorTime, engineering effort, and money.
          It was just easier to do a slight die shrink and improve the Kirin 980. Samsung did the same with the Exynos 9825, except there was a bigger lithography upgrade.

          PS: Doesn't Tetraphobia dictate that Huawei skip the "Number 4" in their product names, like P40 or Mate 40. But they've seem to done it before with the Nova 4 and Honor 4. So maybe they don't care?

            Gobinath, 01 Oct 2019I can't find any reason for not using a77 in 990 processorBecause of the ban from using it. Huawei lied about it and said they wouldnt use it, so the Mate 30 would have better battery life. Its the first Mate that launched without top specs. So it doesnt have the latest cores, only a 1080p panel, mono speaker and so on.

              Gobinath, 01 Oct 2019I can't find any reason for not using a77 in 990 processorBecause they will use 5nm node for it. Even the upcoming SD 865 will still use A76 (mark my word), so you have to wait until 2021 for 5nm A77 based SOC.
