Kirin 960 adopts 14nm process design, the world's first commercial use of the latest A73CPU, using 4*A73 4*A53 architecture, the highest frequency 2.4GHz, compared with the previous generation, CPU performance increased by 18%, energy efficiency increased by 15%.
In terms of GPU, Kirin 960 also took the lead in commercializing MaliG71MP8 in the world, and compared with the previous generation, Kirin 960 graphics processing performance soared by 180%. At the same time, the GPU energy efficiency is increased by 40%.
In terms of GPU: Qualcomm 821 uses Adreno530GPU, while Kirin 960 is MaliG71MP8. According to the announcement at the press conference, the 960 GPU exceeded the Qualcomm 821 GPU, but with the sales of mobile phones, many people's tests, and the official instructions of Antutu confirmed that in actual daily use, MaliG71MP8 is weaker than Adreno530. In general, Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 May be ahead of Huawei Kirin 960, but the gap is not very large, mainly reflected in the 960 CPU dominance, while Qualcomm is dominant on the GPU.
