Kirin 980 has created 6 world firsts:
The world's first commercial TSMC 7nm process mobile SoC chip
The world's first commercial CPU architecture based on ARM Cortex-A76, with a maximum CPU frequency of 2.6GHz
The world's first dual-core NPU
The Mali-G76 GPU is the latest in the world
The world's first LTE Cat.21 support, peak download rate of 1.4Gbps, the highest in the industry
Support the world's fastest LPDDR4X particles, the main frequency up to 2133MHz, also the highest in the industry
Perhaps the biggest surprise is that the Kirin 980 uses a dual-core NPU - rather than the latest Cambrian generation 1M, as previously rumored. The NPU used in the Kirin 980 is Cambrian 1H, which is an optimized version of the Cambrian 1A carried by the Kirin 970. With dual-core, the image recognition speed has soared by 220%, and the AI capability has been further expanded.

Kirin 980 chip related person in charge said that originally they did not intend to do publicity, but rely on word of mouth marketing, because \"consumers know how good it is as long as they use it.\"
< br >
As for the research and development cost of Kirin 980, Huawei said it was \"hundreds of millions of dollars\
< br >
According to the development of Huawei CBG business, from the perspective of brand image shaping and industrial influence, the investment of Kirin series chips is \"very worthwhile\".

Here's a closer look at the chip.

The most powerful chip to date, the performance of Qualcomm 845 and Apple A11
Specifically, the Kirin 980 and Kirin 970 specifications comparison:

Yu Chengdong said that from the initial research and development, IP reserves, to the final commercial mass production, Huawei spent 36 months. In other words, three years ago, the Kirin 980 project has been started, and thousands of senior semiconductor experts have been invested in 5,000 verification and testing.

Now look at the Kirin 980 and Qualcomm 845 comparison.
< br >
Kirin 980 is a 7nm process, and Huawei has been engaged in 7nm process research since 2015, IP reserve and integration verification in 2016, SoC engineering verification in 2017, and mass production in 2018.
< br >
In 2018, the mass production of 7nm process mobile phone SoC was achieved, which was unexpected by many in the industry, and it was generally believed that it would be successful at least until 2019.
< br >
Tech companies' quest for performance on mobile SOCs is endless.
< br >
So from 10nm to 7nm, what improvements have been made to the chip?
< br >
According to the official data of TSMC, from 10nm to 7nm, the chip performance has been improved by about 20%, the energy efficiency has been improved by about 40%, and the density of the logic circuit has been increased by 60%, which is equivalent to 1.6 times the original.
World number one in six events! Huawei's 7nm super terror chip, Kirin 980, makes the world tremble
? Kirin 980, a \"super scary\" chip!
< br >
Just now, at the 2018 IFA exhibition in Germany, Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei Consumer BG, finally unveiled this world-renowned chip - Huawei mobile phone flagship processor Kirin 980, which also fulfilled the bold words previously released:
< br >
Kirin 980 performance is very terrible, will be the strongest chip in history, far ahead of Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 and Apple A11 chip!
