In the fiercely competitive domestic smartphone market, Huawei phones have stood out, achieving user recognition even without aggressive specifications, thanks to their self-developed technology.
Moreover, since Huawei phones have made breakthroughs, they have brought surprises in various aspects, especially with the Kirin processors, which have undergone rapid iterations.
With the support of the native HarmonyOS, the user experience of the new models can now compete with mainstream flagship chips, even surpassing them in terms of smoothness.
The key is that as the HarmonyOS ecosystem develops, the Kirin processors are also making significant strides, with recent news revealing the core specifications of the Kirin 8000A processor.
It is important to understand that the Kirin 9000S processor, followed by the Kirin 9010 processor, and then the Kirin 9020 processor, have all shown aggressive performance capabilities.
Especially the Kirin 9020 processor, which is equipped with 5G-A technology and has seen upgrades and changes in both performance and power consumption.
Crucially, in terms of CPU, it features a fully self-developed architecture composed of one high-frequency 2.5GHz big core, three 2.15GHz medium cores, and four 1.6GHz small cores.
In terms of GPU, the Kirin 9020 is equipped with a Maleoon 920 graphics processing unit, with a frequency of 840MHz, which indeed achieves a high-end standard.
As time goes on, the Kirin processors are iterating again; however, users have not yet seen the Kirin 9030 processor but are waiting for the iteration of the Kirin 8000 series chips.
Reports indicate that the Kirin 8000A processor has surfaced, claiming to adopt a design of 3 big cores and 3 small cores, with its architecture frequency becoming clear.
For example, it features three Cortex-A77 cores with a frequency of 2.189GHz, along with three Cortex-A55 cores with a frequency of 1.84GHz.
The GPU specifications are also clear, utilizing the public version of the Mali-G610, with a frequency of 864MHz. As a graphics processor, its performance is crucial for image processing and gaming on smartphones.
When discussing the Kirin 8000A processor, it seems quite different from the Kirin 8000 processor. Looking back, the latter adopted a 1+3+4 tri-cluster octa-core design, with a processor frequency of 2.4GHz.
It also has three 2.19GHz A77 big cores and four 1.84GHz A55 small cores, with a not-so-high main frequency. For single-core applications, such as front-end app usage, it can generally meet the daily usage needs.
Additionally, it features a Mali G610 864MHz GPU core, and in GFXBench 5.0 (1080P) testing, the Kirin 8000 achieved an average frame rate of about 45 frames.
Thus, it can be seen that the performance of the Kirin 8000A will not be particularly aggressive, and may even feel slightly weaker than the Kirin 8000.
Moreover, the Kirin 8000 processor falls between the Snapdragon 7s Gen2 and the Snapdragon 782G, with a comprehensive score of 83 points; for example, the Snapdragon 782G can score around 670,000 points, while the Kirin 8000 can score around 680,000 points.
However, as an independently self-developed domestic processor, paired with HarmonyOS, there is no pressure on smoothness for most non-gaming enthusiasts.
Furthermore, the native HarmonyOS can further stimulate performance, and as a derivative version, the Kirin 8000A has brought many changes.
For instance, it supports 5G-A processing, which the Kirin 9010 processor does not even support, indicating its strong appeal amidst rapid iterations.
Additionally, the model equipped with the Kirin 8000A is the Huawei Enjoy 70X. Regarding this new model, detailed external parameters have already been leaked in the market.
For instance, it features a 6.78-inch 1.5K OLED curved screen, supports 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and will also support high refresh rate characteristics.
It also supports one-click access to Beidou satellite communication, is equipped with a 6100mAh Huawei giant whale battery, has an eye protection screen, five-star gold standard drop resistance, a 50MP RYYB camera, flagship ID, and full-blooded 40W fast charging.
Notably, the new model’s price is expected to range between 1500 to 2000 yuan, with a guess that it will be around 1799 yuan, aiming to impact the thousand-yuan market.
In conclusion, as the Kirin chips rapidly iterate, the daily user experience will improve significantly, and this will also bring a different performance for Huawei’s future development.
