The HiSilicon Kirin T82 is an SoC that can be used in smartphones and tablets based on Android and was first installed in the Huawei MatePad 11.5 (2025). In contrast to the faster Kirin T92 the T82 has a lower clock speed.
Huawei is not revealing any information about the SoC. The little information that is available comes from benchmarks and system analysis tools. Everyone agrees that the CPU consists of three clusters with a total of 12 cores, but no longer relies on classic ARM Cortex models, but only on HiSilicon's own.
The power-saving cluster has four cores (HiSilicon 0x0D23 / Taishan Big), each operating at up to 1,306 MHz, while six further cores use unspecified cores from HiSilicon (0x0D46) and clock at up to 2,050 MHz. The third cluster contains two HiSilicon cores (0x0D05), each with a maximum clock speed of 2,285 MHz. The single-core performance is correspondingly mixed, but the multi-core performance is at the level of a high-end SoC from 2022 such as the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 due to the numerous cores.
A Maleoon 920c is integrated as the graphics unit.
Nothing concrete is known about the manufacturing process or architecture. The SoC is likely to be manufactured in 7 nm at SMIC (according to TechInsights, the identical Kirin 9020 is manufactured in 7N+2) is manufactured.
