Huawei Kirin 1020 chipset

Undoubtedly, Huawei is one of the biggest manufacturers in the world. Thus, the company needs to become less reliant hardware produced outside the company. This should help bring the cost of devices down and maybe try to compete with Qualcomm’s dominance in the mobile market. With its newest HiSilicon 970 chipset, the company gets closer to Qualcomm’s top line up. But still, the Kirin 970 isn’t on par with the Snapdragon 845 in terms of performance; although it brought world’s first AI chip on board.

Huawei clearly knows that and as a result, Kirin 1020 was born. Just wait until you hear what this chipset is capable of. According to our sources, the Chinese giant is preparing to launch an impressive Kirin 1020 chip that should offer double the performance of the Kirin 970. However, that is all we have known so far. So in the meantime, let’s look at the Kirin 970 processor again. Based on the image on Chinese media, Kirin 970 system-on-chip outscored the Snapdragon 845 in some synthetic benchmarks by approximately 7%.

However, the difference between two chipsets isn’t significant. The Benchmarks test score only shows some individual tests and not the average result of extensive scale. Moreover, the synthetic benchmark scores are hardly suggestive of real performance, particularly in the context of such small borders.
