A recent leak on Chinese social media platform Weibo may have spilled the beans on Huawei‘s upcoming Kirin PC chip. If the information proves true, it looks like Huawei is gearing up to launch a processor that can go toe-to-toe with offerings from Apple and Intel in terms of performance.
The leak reveals the specs of the alleged Kirin PC chip suggesting that it will utilize Taishan v130 architecture and has an 8-core CPU setup with a clock (likely base) speed of 2.5 GHz. The graphics processing unit (GPU) is rumored to be a 10-core unit codenamed “Ma Liang 920.”
The leak also includes performance benchmarks of the chip. But it’s wise to take them with a grain of salt since their accuracy is up in the air.
Reportedly, the Kirin PC chip manages to score 11640 points on multi-core tests in Geekbench 6 while drawing 30W of power. The score puts it in a similar performance bracket as Apple’s M2 and the Intel’s i7-13700H processor, which has an average multi-core score of 10064 and 12203, respectively.
On Geekbench 5, it is said to achieve a single-core score of 1130 and a multi-core score of 8765. While on the 3D Mark Wild Life Extreme test it scored 6490 points while consuming 20W power.
Moreover, Cinebench R24, another benchmarking tool, focused on CPU rendering performance, is claimed to deliver a CPU score of 72 points, a single-core score of 680 points, and a multi-core score of 1695 points.
Additionally, the leak suggests that the upcoming Kirin PC chip could support up to 32GB of LPDDR5-6400 memory running in a 128-bit bus setup and offering a bandwidth of 100GB/s. It’s also rumored to support up to 2TB of solid-state storage (SSD) and include three USB-4 ports.
It’s worth noting that these details aren’t confirmed, and we’re not sure if the leak is genuine. So, it’s wise to be a bit skeptical about it.
