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

Huawei is tipped to increase 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 primarily based on an all-new structure primarily based on 3-nanometre (3nm) course of know-how. This appears to be a major improve over the prevailing HiSilicon Kirin 9000 and Kirin 9000E SoCs which are primarily based on the 5nm course of. Rivals together with Qualcomm and Samsung have additionally used the identical MOSFET know-how node on their latest flagship SoCs for cell units.

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

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