Huawei Mate 20’s Kirin 980 chipset revealed with 2.4 GHz octa-core CPU

As we learned, the Kirin 980 processor is the most awaited successor of the Kirin 970. The chipset is in progress of landing and is going to go along with the upcoming Mate 20 lineup. Back to the April report, the Kirin 980 promises to be better than the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset with high performance and power efficiency. Today, a new report emerges, not only confirming all of that but also adding some to its specs. In details, the chipset is built on a 7nm process with crazy power efficiency and a 2.8GHz max clock speed.

Additionally, the Kirin 980 runs octa-core CPU in 4x Cortex-A77 + 4x Cortex-A55 configuration. The first cluster is clocked at 2.8 GHz. Whereas, there isn’t anything official about the clock speeds of the small Cortex-A55 cores. With the Mali-G72 MP24 GPU, it should be an effective enhancement over the Mali-G72 MP12 in the current Kirin 970 SoC. What’s more, the chipset equips second-generation NPU to carry AI-driven features and a triple ISP. Thanks to that, the image processing takes place significantly faster.

While waiting for the chipset to launch officially, let’s kill time by doing some real quick revision to the Huawei Mate 20 smartphone. The Huawei Mate 20 specs feature a 6-inch AMOLED with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. Besides, the phone offers a 6GB/ 8GB RAM and 256GB/ 512GB of ROM (expandable up to 512GB). Under the hood, the device works on Android 8.1 Oreo OS and 3400mAh battery. Besides, Huawei Mate 20 camera system packs a triple 40MP + 12MP + 12MP snapper on the back. Also, there is a single 20MP selfie lens.
