Qualcomm is a little better, first of all, Qualcomm chip molding is much earlier than Kirin, in terms of market share, industry maturity, in fact, is not a magnitude of the company, you can see, in China, most of the mobile phone manufacturers, especially some of the more famous manufacturers, such as Xiaomi, oppo and other Android machine, in addition to Huawei, almost all use Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, Huawei only provides for its own company, indicating that the production capabilities and annual output of the two cannot be compared.
However, Huawei's Kirin chip still has a late mover advantage, that is, with the maturity of technology and industry, some basic rules and methods of chip research and development have matured, and Huawei can use the latest technology and make fewer mistakes, thus accelerating the catch-up.
Relatively speaking, Qualcomm chip is better than Kirin chip quality, Qualcomm chip has a long history, mature technology, wide application, stable quality, Kirin chip history is short, advanced technology, but the application is limited, reliable quality and then improve.
Qualcomm's is better.
The difference between the two in practical applications is not big, but in some aspects have their own characteristics, Kirin mainly has an independent NPU chip in AI performance, while Qualcomm has a stronger GPU graphics performance. The difference in GPU runs between the two is relatively large, and the performance of Qualcomm processors is better. The baseband is also stronger. Otherwise, there was little difference.
At present, the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor is better. Qualcomm's processor comprehensive performance is better than Kirin, especially GPU, Qualcomm processor integrated GPU is very strong, 820 cpu multithreading score is worse than Kirin 955, but the GPU is very much ahead, the comprehensive performance exceeds 955.
In the past two years, the chip quality of the two manufacturers should not be significantly different, the technical level is not poor, and the foundries are the same
