Recently, industry insiders reported that TSMC will start mass production of 5nm chips in April, with initial capacity fully booked by customers. The major customers include Apple’s A14 (to be used in this fall’s new iPhone) and HiSilicon’s new generation Kirin processors (for Huawei’s flagship devices). Now there are some new updates regarding Kirin.
According to @MobileChipExpert, TSMC has already started the tape-out for the Kirin 1020, which is expected to be delivered in large quantities in August, and similar to previous years, it will debut with the Huawei Mate 40 series, likely to be officially released in September.
In terms of specifications, according to reports from IT Home, the Huawei Kirin 1020 will adopt the ARM Cortex-A78 architecture. Thanks to the 5nm process, the Kirin 1020 can accommodate 171.3 million transistors per square millimeter, with performance improved by 50% compared to the Kirin 990. We are now looking forward to the second half of the year~
