Huawei has scheduled a launch event in China tomorrow, i.e. 21st June, where the company is all set to launch its Nova 5 smartphone series that includes Huawei Nova 5, Nova 5 Pro, and Nova 5i.
Along with that, the company has already confirmed that it will be launching a new Kirin chipset based on the 7nm node. With this launch, Huawei will become the first smartphone company to have two 7nm chipsets in its portfolio.
Ahead of the launch tomorrow, the Chinese tech giant has shared a teaser poster of the upcoming Kirin 810 chipset. The company is teasing it as a “key to the future” and confirmed its unveiling on 21st June.
While Huawei has not revealed the name of the chipset, it is widely believed to be named Kirin 810, making it the first processor in the HiSilicon Kirin 800-series. Apart from the fact that it will be manufactured on a 7nm node, nothing much is known.
However, the company usually puts focus on artificial intelligence (AI) technology for its chipsets and it is expected to continue doing so for the Kirin 810 as well. For those who are unaware, Huawei was the first to introduce a dedicated AI core in the Kirin 970 SoC.
As per the reports, the Kirin 810 will be the successor of the popular Kirin 710 mid-range chipset. Based on TSMC’s 7nm process, the chipset is expected to come with eight core CPU and an upgraded GPU.
It seems that the Kirin 810 chipset will take on Qualcomm’s recently launched chipsets in the Snapdragon 700-series — Snapdragon 730 and SD730G. The same chipset is also expected to power the company’s upcoming Huawei 9X Pro smartphone.
To know for sure what the company has planned for tomorrow’s launch regarding this upcoming 7nm chipset, we’ll have to wait for the official launch event to take place. Along with this chipset and Nova 5 series smartphones, Huawei will also be launching the MediaPad M6 tablet.
