Huawei Kirin 950, announced the most powerful mobile processor on the market
Huawei has lifted the veil on its new CPU for smarpthone, Kirin 950, which appears to be the most powerful on the market at the time of this writing.
The domain of Exynos 7420 eventually collapsed after several months since its debut in Galaxy S6. To steal the scepter is Kirin 950, the new chips announced by Huawei that in recent days has reached several record results on the most popular benchmark suite overcoming, and not just the alternative of Samsung. The processor may be integrated on the upcoming Huawei Mate 8 which will probably be announced on November 26.
Kirin 950 is realized with a manufacturing process FinFET to 16-nm with a distribution of the transistors that we can define ” three-dimensional “. This way, you can place more transistors into the same space, increase performance and at the same time reduce energy demands. In numbers, Huawei promises 40% performance more than the previous production processes, combined with a reassuring 60% less with regard to energy consumption.
In terms of architecture, Huawei utilizes proven configuration big LITTLE ARM. Two different processors divide the tasks more or less onerous in terms computational: the most powerful integrates four core Cortex-A72 to 2.53 GHz, while the CPU usage for energy saving relies on four core Cortex-A53 to 1.8GHz. The two CPUs are combined with an additional co-processor i5, always active to monitor the information received from a number of sensors. It is the successor of i3.
Compared to the previous model, i5 consumes a quantity of resources extremely lower during use. It moves specifically from 90mA to 6.5mA, all for the benefit of battery life. Also on the chart the premises are decidedly optimal: the GPU integrated in the package is a Mali T880MP4 latest generation produced by ARM, which compared with Kirin 930 (Mali T880) should provide a significant performance boost. The integrated modem supports the standard 4G LTE Cat. 6.
At the moment, it is difficult to establish the real goodness of the new hardware Huawei, but the first test appeared online showing impressive results. With around 83000 points on AnTuTu and 6245 on Geekbench (Exynos 7420 makes just over 5000), Kirin 950 waste all the competition, beating with extreme ease, even the flagship model of Samsung has excelled rankings of benchmark since last March.
