Kirin 980 is Official: The first 7 nm processor in the world, 37% more performance than Snapdragon 845

The Kirin 980 processor is the latest flagship of the company, based on the 7nm architecture, which makes it the first of its kind. The processor is built around ARM Cortex-A76 and Mali-G76 GPU CPUs, the first smartphone with a Cat.21 modem supports speeds up to 1.4Gbps, and the first chip to support 2,133MHz LPDDR4X RAM.




The company has compared its latest chipset with the Snapdragon 845 and, according to their tests, Kirin 980 beats the 845 outright. In terms of memory, the Kirin 980 has 20 percent better bandwidth and 22 percent lower latency than the Snapdragon 845, which translates into faster app launches across the range of the world's most popular applications. In gaming apps, the 980 has been shown to produce frame rates 22% higher than the 845 and its power is 32% lower.





As with photography, Huawei went all out and added a dual NPU (neural processing unit) for the Kirin 980, which performs AI-assisted image recognition tasks at a speed of 4,500 images per minute. In comparison, Snapdragon 845 reaches 2,371 and Apple A11 only gets 1,458.




Furthermore, using a new dual ISP (signal processor image), the Kirin 980 is 46 percent faster than the camera processing its predecessor, with a 23 percent improvement in corresponding power efficiency during recording, and 33 percent of improvement of latency.
