Huawei is preparing the launch of the series this year Mate 20 for customers around the world, but before this happens, the new Kirin 980 processor, which will be used in the upcoming series, was revealed to the Chinese. According to the details announced today, Huawei intends to offer in the new Kirin 980 chip an octa-core processor, just like in the Kirin 970, only that it will have a working frequency of 2.8 GHz, instead of 2.4 GHz, in the current model.
Huawei will include in the new Kirin 980 chip an octa-core processor that has four Cortex-A55 cores and four Cortex-A77 cores, both of which are superior to those used in the current Kirin 970 chip offered by the Chinese. The frequency of 2.8 GHz that Huawei manages to extract from the new processor will provide much greater power for the Mate 10 series phones, but it is hard to say if they will be equal to Apple's iPhone phones.

Huawei will have this new Kirin 980 chip produced by TSMC using a 7nm manufacturing process, pretty much the same as what Apple is currently doing for the iPhone 9, iPhone X 2018, and iPhone X Plus. Those from Huawei will announce all the details of the new Kirin 980 chip only sometime in the fall, when they will also present the Mate 20 series, but I am quite sure that by then we will find out all the important details about the new features brought by it.
