Huawei launched its latest Pura 70 flagships with a new Kirin 9010 chip. While the SoC shares a similar manufacturing process and core architecture with the Kirin 9000s, Huawei has optimized it further to deliver performance in their latest flagships.
A new rumor suggests that the company is working on yet another Kirin chip, likely for the Mate 70 series smartphones.
Words for it come from a Weibo tipster @DirectorShiGuan, who revealed that Huawei has well-reformed its upcoming Kirin chip for the Mate 70 series and it performs comparatively well in benchmarks.
The tipster suggests that the new processor could achieve a benchmark score exceeding 1.1 million points. Although the leak doesn’t mention any specific benchmarking platform, it’s likely referring to AnTuTu.
To put this into perspective, the latest Kirin 9010 chip in the Pura 70 Ultra phone scores around 927,547 points on AnTuTu v10. Whereas, the Mate 60 Pro running on a Kirin 9000s processor, averages about 699,783 points on the same benchmark.
However, it’s important to understand that these benchmark scores may not directly reflect how well the chips perform in real-life use. We’ll need to see how the new Kirin chip performs when it debuts in the upcoming Mate 70 smartphones to gauge any performance improvements.
As for the Mate 70 line, it is expected to have at least three smartphones: the Mate 70, Mate 70 Pro, and Mate 70 Pro+. The series is rumored to launch sometime in September.
If the rumored launch timeframe turns out to be true, it’s clear that Huawei is looking to compete with Apple’s 2024 iPhones.
