The new Kirin 990 chipset is built like Apple A13 and the best with a key feature

[ad_1]

Samsung has bothered to announce the first second generation 7nm processor – Exynos 9825 – ahead of Huawei this year, unlike what happened with the Huawei Kirin 980 last fall. Samsung was also the first to announce an integrated all-in-one 5G chipset – the Exynos 980 – which, for the first time, faces midrange breaks with a 5G modem. Until now, all 5G phones came with an additional Qualcomm, Samsung or Huawei 5G modem added separately, which significantly slowed the battery and RAM capacities.

The recently announced Kirin 990 by Huawei – the first high-end mobile application processor combined with an effective 5G modem in a true system-on-a-chip style – will soon be integrated with phones like the Mate 30 Pro, while Samsung always switch all handsets where the Exynos 980 will be used.

The Kirin 990 processor cores and the 5G modem chip feature the most efficient process of the moment – a second-generation 7nm EUV lithography, just like the Exynos 9825. Here's a quick comparison of the specs between both and Snapdragon 855+:

Kirin 990 5G and AR features

Since the focus here is on the fact that it 's about a chipset as sophisticated as Apple would be in A13. iPhone 11, built on the same TSMC N7 + process, while offering an integrated 5G modem, something unheard of until now, we want to focus precisely on 5G capabilities.

Unfortunately, this does not include the mmWave high frequency tapes that Verizon, T-Mobile and US carrier networks currently use for 5G in general. By 2020, however, all major US carriers will begin deploying their 5G low bandwidth networks. It goes without saying that Huawei has a ball chance of having phones on US carriers, which leaves the animosity of the White House administration with regard to its products , but it's good to see that we finally get a real 5C SoC for high-end phones.

Huawei is keen to point out that its 5G modem is the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly so far, and knowing its leadership in 5G research, we are inclined to stick to the word without the pink salt of the 5G. # 39; Himalayas.

The Kirin 990 5G frugality is such, she tells us, that it outperforms the Qualcomm X50 modem and better matches what your existing phone consumes to maintain 4G connectivity. Huawei also uses an adaptive auto-learning receiver to increase performance gain over the X50.

This is a big step forward compared to current 5G phones that must be equipped with batteries of more than 4000 mAh to make ends meet when they are connected to a 5G network. Well, meet better, shame we can not have any of those bad Mate 30 Pro or Mate X foldable boys in the US to test the performance of the Kirin 990, but we'll find a way once on September 19th.
