HiSilicon Kirin 990 vs HiSilicon Kirin 810
HiSilicon Kirin 990
► remove from comparison
The HiSilicon Kirin 990 4G is an ARM based high-end octa-core SoC for smartphones and tablets, which was introduced with the Huawei Mate 30 Pro in late 2019. It integrates eight CPU cores in three clusters. The performance cluster contains two Cortex-A76 cores with up to 2.86 GHz, the balanced cluster contains also two Cortex-A76 cores but with only up to 2.09 GHz and finally the power saving cluster contains four small ARM Cortex-A55 cores with up to 1.86 GHz. Furthermore, the SoC integrates a neural processor (1 + 1 cores) for AI tasks and a ARM Mali-G76 MP16 GPU clcoked at up to 600 MHz. Compared to the 5G version, the 4G Kirin 990 integrates a fast 4G modem and is slightly lower clocked (2 of the 3 clusters and the GPU).
The Kirin 990 is produced in the modern 7nm process at TSMC.
HiSilicon Kirin 810
► remove from comparison
The HiSilicon Kirin 810 is a ARM-based mid-range Octa-Core-SoC for Android based smartphones and tablets. It was announced mid 2019 and contains 8 processor cores. Two fast ARM Cortex-A76 cores with up to 2.27 GHz and six small power efficient ARM Cortex-A55 cores with up to 1.88 GHz (bigLITTLE). Furthermore, the SoC integrates a mid range graphics card called ARM Mali-G52 MP6 with 6 clusters. For AI acceleration, the Kirin 810 integrates a Ascend D100 Lite NPU (Da Vinci architecture). The integrates LTE modem supports Cat.12/13 with Dual Sim VoLTE. For photography, the Kirin 810 integrates the Kirin ISP4.0. The memory controller supports LPDDR4X at up to 2133 MHz. Furthermore, WiFi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 5.0 are integrated in the chip.
The SoC is manufactured in the modern 7nm process at TSMC and therefore should be very energy efficient.
