Huawei’s new Kirin 980 smartphone SoC has four Cortex-A76 cores, four Cortex-A55 cores, the latest Arm Mali GPU and boasts a new dual-core NPU. It is destined for the Huawei Mate 20, which will be launched in October, as well as the upcoming Honor Magic 2. Want to find out more? Please let me explain!

#Kirin #Gary #Explains
Who do you think is more innovative in the chipset space: Qualcomm, Samsung or Huawei?
If the Mate 20 Pro would at least keep the design language of the Mate 10 Pro, I’m sold. But I feel like it’s gonna have that unsightly notch.
Love You Gary !
With iphones getting so expensive now, qualcomm could realy give their processor specs a kick up, price would follow on to the cost of the phone, but still not gona be anywhere near silly iphone prices. Would give qualcomm a chance to close the gap ios processors have.
Im thinking a lot more cache put into the chips which ios does.
Don’t start sentences with so.
Qualcom has a lot of customer in their brand than Samsung and Huawei so expect they still lead in mobile chipset in the coming decades.
Are u perhaps a little bit drunk on an expired banana juice or do you perhaps lack basic math education? How on earth in your calculation did u discover that 4 2.6ghz cores will be significally slower than 2x 2.6ghz cores + 2x 1.9ghz cores (with the extra 4 low power cores being identical). That makes no sense mate. The 2 cores have their frequency reduced by 30% so overall the high performance cores are 15% weaker if not more because often in multithreaded apps (not benchmarks, these use completely separate processes for each core) the faster clocked cores will have to wait for data from the slower ones. Plus extra communication overhead due to mismatched clocks. Seriously basic IT knowledge.
Also it would make perfect performance sense to have 4 new high performance cores running at 2.6ghz. The only reason why anybody would underclock 2 of them is either manufacturing defects or power constrains. My bet is these new cores simply suck so much power they couldn’t run 4 of these at same speed.
Not long age their chips are worse than MTK’s, I think their chaps are getting better, but Apple is still the king.
Huawei Magic 2.
China number 1!
I love videos which talks more about processors than about Phones .. loved it
Huawei phones track patterns and optimizes your phone to give you the best performance… My P20PRO is a beast.. it doesn’t lag… Still very smooth
But… does it run Candy Crush?
I think the 980 is equivalent to the A10 fusion or snapdragon 835
I need a 5inch phone with a kirin 980
Waiting for hauwei mate 20 pro
How does it compares vs a a12 bionic?
Who’s here after buying the honor play with kirin 970?
Hey!
The Camera is so insane.
Does 980 support 5G?
老外为啥老把华为读成 娃为
Huawei’s 5G technology is the real reason why its CFO (daughter of the founder) was arrested in Canada and to be extradited to USA. Politics kills innovation.
just curious, is it possible to run windows using the desktop mode for huawei, by booting windows on to the memory card.
Thanks
If it wasn’t for emui, Kirin 980 would’ve been on par or really close in benchmarks but then since numbers mean only little, so the 980 is actually an efficient product from Huawei.
honestly what for i need such fast download speed besides i just watching YouTube video and my home fiber optics 300mb already enough
Always up for US and Korean products. Allergic to Chinese junks.
Watching this to my Nova 5T that has Kirin 980 processor 🖤
Woah watching this on my kirin 980 p30 and thinking that’s a big gain, prefer gaming on my p30 over my oneplus just cis the kirin seems to handle multi threads bettee
i have that in the mate 20x,its just wonderfull in games
Can I use Kirin 980 for video editing ? (Long video)
980–845
990–855
995–865
Kirin and Qualcomm
my mate 20x its wonderfull.
thank u so much
Kirin is crap
2 years Kirin 980 faster than Apple A13 https://youtu.be/gjiVnhqgWEI
The Kirin 980 is the first ever chipset to have a Prime core cluster. Today in 2021, the Kirin 980 chipset is still a solid performer.
This is still one of my favorite Android SoCs. Great Performance and legendary battery life.
