Huawei had just announced its latest flagship processor HiSilicon Kirin 985 SoC. It is a 5G processor and will fall between the Kirin 820 5G SoC and Kirin 990 5G. Now, the processor has been put through the AnTuTu benchmarking software and has achieved an impressive score of over 380,000.
The chipset is equipped on the Honor 30 series, including Honor 30, Honor 30 Pro and Honor 30 Pro+. It is an octa core processor with the new Mali-G77 GPU. The Kirin 985 also houses the same dual core NPU, similar to the Kirin 990. Arriving at the performance, the AnTuTu benchmark had managed the highest score of 386,045 points. Notably, this is just slightly higher than the Kirin 820 SoC.

Breaking down the overall score, the CPU of the Kirin 985 scored 122,531 points, while its GPU received 131,623 points. The MEM score arrived in at 69,180 points and finally, the UX score brought in 62,711 points. In simpler terms, this should translate to overall better performance when compared to the Kirin 820. However, the Kirin 820 actually managed to score slightly higher in the CPU department while lagging behind in the rest.
This is surprising since the clock speed of the Kirin 985 is higher than the 820 and is based on the same CPU architecture. Although this may be due to software optimization, as the newly launched processor has yet to receive any specific software update, unlike the latter which has already been available for a while now.
