The Kirin 820 5G is Huawei‘s upcoming mid-range processor and its very first one with support for 5G. A few days ago, some key details of the processor were leaked on the web. Now benchmark results have surfaced that compare it to the Kirin 980 and even Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855.
A graph comparing the benchmark scores of the three chipsets was posted on Weibo and it shows the Kirin 820 5G scored 3490 points in the single-core test and 11200 points in the multi-core test.
The chipset scored higher than the Kirin 980 processor which powers phones such as the Huawei P30 series and the Mate 20 series. It even scores higher than the Snapdragon 855 in the single-core test and ties with it for multi-score.
The Kirin 820 5G is a 7nm processor with Cortex-A76 cores and a Mali-G77 GPU. Based on its Geekbench scores, we presume it has four Cortex-A76 cores paired with four Cortex-A55 cores. It has also been revealed that the chipset will have an upgraded NPU and ISP.
Honor’s upcoming phone, the Honor 30S, should be the first device with a Kirin 820 5G chipset.
