Huawei introduced the new Mate 70 series today, but was quite stingy about which chipsets were used in the new phones. Early rumors pointed to a “Kirin 9100” with an ARM Cortex core, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
A photo of one of the new Huawei Mate 70 phones shows that the chipset is called Kirin 9020.
The hardware information app shows a 12-core processor: two main cores up to 2.5GHz, six mid-cores up to 2.1GHz, and four minor cores up to 1.6GHz.
The Kirin 9010 had a 1+3+4 physical core configuration with hyperthreading on the large and medium cores, but not the small cores, so the logical processor cores go 2+6+4.
This shows that the new Kirin processor uses HiSilicon’s Taishan CPU cores, not ARM cores, for the top two cores. However, the four smaller cores are likely to be Cortex-A510, as in previous 9000 series chips.
The graphics unit is stated as Maleoon 920. It runs up to 840 MHz, beating the Maleoon 910 in Kirin 9010 (up to 750 MHz).
According to what Huawei says, the Kirin 9020 is approximately 40% faster overall compared to the previous chipset used in the Pura 70 series. But while the standard Huawei Mate 70 may also use the 9010, 9020 chips are available for higher-end models: the Mate 70 Pro, Pro+ and RS Ultimate.
