Huawei launched its flagship Mate 60 series of smartphones in August. Now a new report has revealed some interesting details regarding the Mate 60 Pro‘s 5G SoC, Kirin 9000S. So let’s take a look.

Huawei Mate 60 Pro features one of China’s most advanced chips

According to a new report from TechInsights, the Chinese tech giant’s Mate 60 Pro features a chip designed by SMIC. For those unaware, SMIC is a major semiconductor manufacturer in China, which marks a major shift away from Huawei’s previous supplier, TSMC. Huawei was cut off from its primary chip supplier and lost access to advanced chip production for its proprietary HiSilicon Kirin series of mobile processors.

But now, Huawei smartphones supports 5G connectivity again and will feature China’s most advanced mobile processor. TechInsights adds that the Huawei Mate 60 Pro in their lab features the latest generation process called N+2 7nm, which marks a major upgrade in Chinese semiconductor manufacturing. The Kirin 9000S has a slightly larger die size (107 mm²) compared to the older Kirin 9000 (105 mm²).

The Huawei Mate 60 Pro features the advanced 7nm-based chipset that is more advanced than SMIC’s 14nm process node. Furthermore, it features a larger critical dimension than the ones on the 5nm process. SMIC’s N+2 7nm process will also offer improved scalability and yield, which were major challenges the last time.

For some time, Huawei has been struggling in the smartphone market due to the US embargo. However, the company is not giving up, and it has been working hard to regain its lost ground in both hardware and software. The latest move in its legendary comeback plan is the Huawei Mate 60 and Mate 60 Pro. The phones, which caused a great stir upon release, have won the approval of users around the world. In fact, within the first five days, it had sold nearly 800,000 units. Here are the details…

Huawei Mate 60 Sells Nearly 1 Million Units in China

The Huawei Mate 60 series has been a huge success in China. The phone went on sale on August 29th, and within the first five days, it had sold nearly 800,000 units. This is a significant improvement over the sales of the previous Mate series, which sold around 500,000 units. Of course, this success is no coincidence.

After a few bad years, Huawei wanted to rise from the ashes and developed a technical marvel. The phone is powered by the latest Kirin 9000S processor, which is the fastest mobile processor available in China. It also features a new triple-lens rear camera system with a 50MP main sensor, a 48MP ultrawide sensor, and a 12MP telephoto sensor.

The enthusiasm for the Huawei Mate 60 series is not limited to the Chinese market. International consumers are also eagerly buying up these devices. For instance, some Japanese consumers have reported that the 12GB + 512GB version of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro is priced at about 70,000 Chinese yuan in the Chinese market, which converts to approximately 140,000 Japanese yen.

However, Japanese consumers purchasing this smartphone model from local dealers have been met with prices exceeding 200,000 Japanese yen, roughly equal to 10,000 Chinese yuan. This shows that the device is also extremely popular in the Japanese market.

The Huawei Mate 60 series has been officially launched in China, with the Mate 60 and Mate 60 Pro being the two models that are currently available. The Pro model is notable for being the first Huawei phone to feature 5G connectivity since the US sanctions were imposed. It is also the first-ever phone to support satellite calling. The pre-order listings for both phones on Huawei Mall include all their key specifications, but there is no information about the chipset. However, the Pro model has appeared on AnTuTu, revealing not only the chipset that it uses, but also its configuration.

Huawei Mate 60 Pro 5G AnTuTu, Geekbench listings

The AnTuTu benchmarks identify the Huawei Mate 60 Pro 5G’s chip as the Kirin 9000s. The CPU details mentioned in the listing reveal that it has a 12-core configuration with a 2+6+4 architecture. It consists of two A34 cores, six customized A78AE cores, and four A510 cores. The highest clock speed reaches 2.62GHz.

As for the GPU, the AnTuTu listing mentions it as “Maleoon 910” but does not provide any details about its configuration. In the CPU, memory, and UX tests, the device scored 279,677, 225,491, and 194,615 points, respectively. It managed to achieve a total score of 699,783 on AnTuTu. However, it should be noted that the GPU scores are not mentioned in the AnTuTu listing.

It is important to note that there is a possibility that the manufacturer may have intentionally concealed certain details of the chip. Therefore, it is advisable to wait for official confirmation on the name and configuration of the chip that powers the Mate 60 series.

The same chip has also appeared on Geekbench. It scored 1225 and 3295 points in the single-core and multi-core tests of Geekbench 6, respectively. Therefore, in terms of performance, the Kirin 9000s appears to be on par with the Snapdragon 888. This means that the Mate 60 Pro’s performance is around two generations behind its competitors.

It is not yet clear which chipset powers the Huawei Mate 60. It appears that the device is powered by a 4G chipset.
