Kirin 980 and Snapdragon 855 both use TSMC's 7nm process, the main difference between the two cpus is the large core, the frequency of the Snapdragon 855 is higher than the Kirin 980, the performance of the multi-core is not much different.

In terms of AI performance, the Kirin 980 uses a Cambrian NPU chip, while the Snapdragon 855 does not use an NPU chip, but is allocated to other units and software collaboration.

But in the field of high-end processors, in fact, the gap is not big, Kirin processor than the Snapdragon processor released more than half a year later, so this period of time can make up for their shortcomings, and even in some aspects can surpass the Snapdragon processor.


1, Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and Kirin processor are one of the mainstream processor brands in the market today.

2, Snapdragon processor in performance, power consumption and thermal control performance is excellent, suitable for multitasking and game running.

3, the Kirin processor is excellent in AI computing and graphics performance, suitable for photography, video editing and other operations.


Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and Kirin processor are both mainstream mobile phone processor brands in the current market, with their own advantages. Qualcomm Snapdragon processors excel in performance, providing outstanding multi-core processing power and a smooth user experience. Kirin processors, on the other hand, focus on optimizing power management, making them excellent in terms of energy saving and battery life. Which processor you choose depends on your personal needs and usage habits. If you pursue higher performance and multitasking capabilities, you can choose Snapdragon processor; If you pay attention to battery life and power saving, you can choose Kirin processor. In general, both are excellent processors, with their own strengths in different aspects, and users can choose according to their needs.


Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and Kirin processor have their own advantages, can not simply make an absolute comparison. Here is some analysis of the characteristics of the two brands of processors for your reference:

Snapdragon 888 processor: This is Qualcomm's most advanced processor, using a 5nm process, compared to the 870 processor, 888 has a significant improvement in CPU and GPU performance. However, the Snapdragon 888 uses Samsung's 5nm process, rather than TSMC's 5nm process, so in terms of process technology, it may be slightly inferior to the Kirin 9000 series.

Kirin 9000 series: This series of processors from high to low in order of 9000E, 9000, 9000L. Among them, 9000 is equivalent to Snapdragon 888; The 9000L is equivalent to the Snapdragon 870; The 9000E is equivalent to Snapdragon 888. Although the Snapdragon 888 May be slightly inferior to the Kirin 9000 series in terms of process technology, the Snapdragon 888 is still better in terms of performance.

In short, Snapdragon and Kirin each have their own advantages, and which processor is better depends on your needs for phone use.
