In terms of configuration, Kirin 985 is better
First of all, the chip production process of the two processors is different, Kirin 9000 uses the most advanced 5nm production process, and Kirin 985 uses the 7nm production process, which improves the overall performance by 15% and the power consumption will be reduced by 30%. And the CPU and GPU are also different, and a certain upgrade has been carried out, which can be seen that the overall performance of Kirin 9000 is far better than Kirin 985.
Kirin 990, there are many representative models, such as Huawei nova6 4G and Honor V30. At the point of operation, the gap with Kirin 990 5G is not large, but the gap with Kirin 985 is relatively large.
There is a 15% difference between Kirin 9000e and 985, the Kirin 9000e adopts TSMC 7nm process, and the Kirin 9000e has an Antuto evaluation score of more than 812000 points, and a single core score of more than 7812 points. The Kirin 9000e integrates the second-generation Sensing Hub sensor (previously unheard of). Integrating a separate AI accelerator, we can understand it as a coprocessor supporting AI computing, which can not only reduce the power consumption of AI scenarios in standby state, but also receive and process multiple data streams from 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and location information at the same time.
Kirin 9000e belongs to the top processor, Kirin 985 belongs to the high-end processor Kirin 9000e is a 5nm process chip, Kirin 985 is a 7nm process chip. Generally speaking, the smaller the process, the better the chip performance.
