Huawei raised eyebrows when it launched the Mate 60 Pro with a Kirin chip. The Kirin 9000s inside the smartphone is said to have been manufactured by China-based SMIC using its second-generation 7nm-class fabrication process and stacking. Word on the grapevine suggests that the chip may be powering not only the Mate 60 Pro but also the Mate 60.

An X user has shared live images of the Mate 60’s device information page. The page reveals the specifications of the smartphone, confirming the Kirin 9000s chip. While Huawei has been mum about the details of the chipset, the immages shared by the user reveals it has a 8-core configuration with a 4+4 architecture. The frequency range of the cores is 418Mhz – 2150MHz, with the Maleoon 910 GPU clocked at between 308Mhz to 750Mhz.

All the details about the chipset are unofficial, with reports suggesting it packs a CPU and GPU featuring microarchitectures developed in-house. Considering the Mate 60 Pro is the top-notch flagship from the brand, offering satellite calling and other features, the benchmarking scores of the chip might not be very convincing.

The Kirin 9000s scored a total of 699,783 on AnTuTu, which is not very impressive when compared to Qualcomm flagships that often score well above 1 million points. However, it’s better to take this score with a pinch of salt, considering the secrecy surrounding the chipset.

Elsewhere, the Huawei Mate 60 brings a flat OLED panel with a Full HD+ resolution of 2688 x 1216 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, 10-bit colors, and 1440Hz PWM dimming. It has a 50MP main camera with support for OIS and is paired with a 12MP ultra-wide lens and a 12MP periscope telephoto camera. The phone packs a 4,750mAh battery that supports 66W wired charging.
