As expected, China-based tech giant Huawei has today announced its latest upper mid-range mobile chipset — Kirin 810. With this, Huawei has now become the world’s first smartphone company to have two chipsets based on a 7nm process in its portfolio.
The HiSilicon Kirin 810 is an octa-core processor which comes equipped with two Cortex-A76 high-performance large cores clocked at 2.27 GHz and six Cortex-A55 energy efficient small cores clocked at 1.88 GHz. It is coupled with Mali-G52 GPU for graphics processing.
The newly announced chipset comes with the new Huawei DaVinci architecture NPU, which consumes less energy and has artificial intelligence (AI) technology running at over 32,280 points, surpassing the scores of Snapdragon 855 SoC and Snapdragon 730 SoC.
The chipset is manufactured using TSMC’s 7nm mode, the same process that was used to manufacture flagship chipsets such as Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 and Apple A12 Bionic, among others.
The company says that the image processing capability of this new smartphone processor is at par with those of the flagship grade SoCs. Huawei has included a powerful night vision algorithm for higher brightness and greater tolerance.
It comes with NPU and Huawei HiAi 2.0 which aims at improving the performance of the artificial intelligence technology and the company has added support for a Game+ mode aiming to enhance the gaming experience.
The Huawei’s HiSilicon Kirin 810 octa-core processor is the first chipset under the company’s all-new Kirin 800-series. As evident from the name, it is an upper mid-range processor, placed between the mid-range Kirin 700-series and the top-end Kirin 900-series.
Huawei Nova 5 is the first smartphone to come powered by this new Kirin 810 octa-core 7nm chipset. Apart from that, the upcoming Huawei 9X Pro is also said to be powered by the same processor.
