Huawei Tipped to Have HiSilicon Kirin 9010 As Its Next-Gen Flagship SoC

Huawei is tipped to develop its high-end HiSilicon Kirin chipsets lineup and launch Kirin 9010 as next-generation system-on-chip (SoC). The brand new chip is purported to be based mostly on an all-new structure based mostly on 3-nanometre (3nm) course of know-how. This appears to be a major improve over the present HiSilicon Kirin 9000 and Kirin 9000E SoCs which might be based mostly on the 5nm course of. Opponents together with Qualcomm and Samsung have additionally used the identical MOSFET know-how node on their latest flagship SoCs for cellular units.

The transfer to 3nm course of seems fairly aggressive and important — contemplating the latest arrival of 5nm chips.

Huawei final yr brought HiSilicon Kirin 9000 as its final flagship SoC. It debuted on the corporate’s Mate 40 Pro and Mate 40 Pro+ smartphones in October, whereas the Kirin 9000E featured on the Mate 40.

Devices 360 has reached out to Huawei for a touch upon the event of Kirin 9010 SoC. This report might be up to date when the corporate responds.
