Hisilicon and Kirin are the same class of cpu, the correct description is Hisilicon Kirin processor.
Kirin 970 processor:
The latest Kirin 970 processor, its 4 A73 core and 4 A53 core, are from the world's famous chip design company ARM, GPU graphics processing part is also using ARM's Mail-G72.
Kirin 970 is the world's first artificial intelligence chip with built-in NPU neural network unit, and its NPU unit is also the research and development results of the domestic company Cambrian, which is equipped with the Cambrian M1 first-generation artificial intelligence chip, which belongs to the domestic chip.
Kirin 950 processor:
Kirin 950 takes the lead in commercial 16nmFinFET Plus process, 4x2.3GHz A72 4x1.8GHz A53 architecture, A72 compared to the previous mainstream flagship chip used A57 big core, performance improved by 11%, and power consumption reduced by 20%, energy efficiency increased by 30%. The four A72 cores are capable of up to 2.3GHz.
A72, GPU these are actually not Huawei's own research and development, it is not innovation. Then independently developed ISP engine is a highlight. Its throughput can be increased by four times, up to 960Mixel\/s, support dual 13 megapixel sensors and up to 32 megapixel sensors, hybrid focusing technology.
The differences between Huawei cpu hisilicon and Kirin are:
< br >
1, Hisilicon is the name of a company specializing in the production of semiconductors, and Kirin is a model of the CPU produced by this company. Hisilicon can be called Huawei's semiconductor research institute, and Kirin is one of Hisilicon's self-developed chips. Generally use the company's model reading to name the CPU;

2. Hisilicon's chip products include mobile processors, communication baseband, AI processors, and server processors. Among them, mobile processors include K3V series, Kirin series; Communication baseband including Balon series; AI processors include the Shengteng series; Server processors include the Kunpeng family.
Hisilicon is the company that designs and develops the chip, and Kirin is the name of the chip.
