The Kirin 810 will be unveiled tomorrow at Huawei’s Nova 5 launch event. The new chipset will power the Nova 5 and will be Huawei’s second 7nm chipset. There are reports that it will have a dedicated NPU made by Huawei itself and not a third party like that of the Kirin 980. An AI benchmark result has surfaced and it shows the Kirin 810 is a beast.
AI Benchmark 3 not only reveals how well the chipset performs in AI-related tasks compared to others but also provides some key details about the chipset itself. First, it confirms the Nova 5 is powered by the Kirin 810 as you can see in the first image below.
In the second image, we see the 7nm Kirin 810 is an octa-core processor with four Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.27GHz and another set of Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.88GHz. It also shows it has a dedicated NPU.
With respect to scores, the Kirin 810-powered Nova 5 has an AI Score of 33,863 points which pushes it to the top of the list ahead of the Snapdragon 855-powered ASUS Zenfone 6 and LG V50 ThinQ 5G, and the Helio P90-powered OPPO Reno Z.
When you switch the ranking to just chipsets alone, the Kirin 810 has an AI score of 23,944 points, outperforming the Snapdragon 855, the Helio P90, the Kirin 980, and the Exynos 9820 to claim the top spot.
Huawei has sure put in a lot of work in the development of its own NPU and we can’t wait to know more about the chipset when it is unveiled tomorrow. Apart from the Nova 5, the Kirin 810 has also been reported to be the chipset that will power the Honor 9X Pro.
