What chips are in newer Huawei smartphones? We finally know the answer

Smartphone Huawei Mate 60 Pro has a chipset of its own production, Kirin 9000s. The phone itself stands out from the range with several features. Even himself Kirin looked quite promising at first glance, as it is the first 5G chip found on Huawei devices from the series Huawei Mate 40. It was introduced in 2020, i.e. in the period when regulations came from the US regarding 5G connectivity. The Chinese giant has been silent for a long time about the chips found in its latest models. What exactly is hidden in the bowels of the series Huawei Pura 70? Portal Phone Arena writes about information that has finally come to light.

Huawei currently relies on its domestic chipmaker, SMICwhich stuck to two generations old 7 nm production technology. Previous flagship series such as Huawei P50, Mate 50 whether P60they had chips Qualcomm Snapdragon. However, they were specially adapted for Huawei so that they cannot cooperate with the most modern ones 5G networks.

Huawei finally allowed members of the sales staff to talk about the specific chips that power the latest smartphones. It was found that in the bowels of the devices from the ranks Mate 60 a Mate X5 they are hiding 7 nm chips Kirin 9000s. It also drives this year’s basic flagship model Huawei Pura 70. Chipset Kirin 9010which is manufactured by the company SMIC by using 7 nm N+2 technologyis part of smartphones Pura 70 Pro a Pura 70 Ultra. It is in the benchmarks Kirin 9010 until 30% slower than Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 from 2022. This is definitely not a commendable result, but the possibilities of the Chinese manufacturer are considerably limited.

The new information comes directly from Huawei

Huawei should, according to the latest speculation, be included in the upcoming series Mate 70 to implement 5 nm chip. They say that the factory SMIC managed to create more advanced chips even without using the necessary ones EUV machines. Most experts agree that EUV is necessary to create extremely thin circuit patterns on a silicon wafer in order to place billions of transistors on a chip. So far, only one company in the world manufactures these EUV devices, namely ASML. However, it does not have permission from the Dutch and American governments to supply for SMIC.

Flagship series Huawei Mate 70 will be introduced in the last quarter of this year. The latest reports talk about the presence of an improved chip Kirin s AI abilities. We should also expect support for satellite communication. The operating system will be pre-installed HarmonyOS Next. Whether we will actually see deployment 5 nm technology is questionable. We wonder if SMIC subsequently manages to produce 5 nm chips using Dark Ultraviolet Lithography (DUV). We just have to wait, maybe we will be surprised.
