The Qualcomm MSM8230 (Snapdragon S4 Plus series) is a ARM based high-end smartphone SoC in 2012. It contains two Krait (ARMv7) CPU cores at up to 1.2 GHz, a Adreno 305 GPU, a single channel LPDDR2 memory controller and radio elements. The chip is produced in 28nm LP (low power process) at TSMC. Compared to the MSM8930, the 8230 lacks LTE.
The Krait cores offer a slightly better performance as the standard Cortex-A9 cores and are compatible to the NEON SIMD extensions.
The HiSilicon Kirin 9000W is an SoC that can be used in smartphones and tablets based on Android and was first installed in the Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2.
Huawei does not reveal any information about the SoC. The little information that is available comes from benchmarks and system analysis tools. The CPU consists of three clusters with a total of 12 cores. The power-saving cluster has four ARM Cortex-A510 cores, each operating at up to 1,530 MHz, while six other cores use unspecified cores from HiSilicon (0x0D42) and clock at up to 2,150 MHz. The third cluster contains two HiSilicon cores (0x0D02), each with a maximum clock speed of 2,487 MHz. The performance cores could possibly be based on the TaiShan V120 architecture (as in the Kirin 9000S).
The single-core performance is correspondingly mixed, but the multi-core performance is at the level of a high-end SoC from 2022 due to the numerous cores.
A Maleoon 910 by HiSilicon is integrated as the graphics unit, similar to the 9000S (where it was clocked with up to 750MHz).
Nothing concrete is known about the manufacturing process or the architecture. The SoC will probably be manufactured in 7 nm at SMIC.
