Huawei launched its new-generation triple-folding flagship Mate XTs Ultimate Master in Shenzhen yesterday, revealing that it is equipped with the Kirin 9020 system-on-a-chip (SoC) — marking the return of the Kirin chip to a Huawei launch event after a four-year absence.
Richard Yu, Huawei's Executive Director and Chairman of the Consumer Business Group, stated that the Kirin 9020 chip has achieved another breakthrough in performance through the synergy of software, hardware, chip, and cloud, as well as in-depth system-level optimization. The overall device performance has been improved by 36%, delivering extraordinary performance.
According to C114, Huawei's flagship smartphones Mate 70 and Pura 80 are both equipped with the Kirin 9020 chip, but the company only confirmed this news recently. Public information shows that the Kirin 9020 includes two high-performance ARM cores running at up to 2.50GHz, six mid-range cores at 2.15GHz, and four high-efficiency cores at 1.60GHz, along with the Mali-G920 GPU operating at 840 MHz and the recently revealed Balong 6000 5G modem. Manufactured by SMIC using its 7nm-class process, this chip is the first to integrate a 5G modem.
