Huawei made a surprising announcement these days regarding the MATE 20 series and the new Kirin 980 chip, which the Koreans intend to integrate into two of the phone models that will be launched worldwide on October 16. More precisely, after the launch of the series iPhone XS, which comes with a new high-performance A12 Bionic chip, those from Huawei have announced that they are confident that the new series of smartphones will be more powerful.
Huawei made this announcement during an event that took place in Dubai the other day, the new Kirin 980 chip performing lower than Apple's A12 Bionic in the first tests that appeared on the Internet. In Geekbench, the difference in performance between the new A12 Bionic chip and Huawei's Kirin 980 is large, about 2000 points, but in AnTuTu the differences seem to be much smaller, only about 2%, although they are still preliminary.
Huawei: SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT Made about MATE 20
Huawei announced with great fanfare the new Kirin 980 chip at the beginning of this month, during a press conference held at IFA Berlin 2018, but nothing was more impressive than what Apple presented for the A12 Bionic chip. Huawei stated that its new chip has 75% more processing power than the previous generation, the video card being 46% more efficient, while the energy efficiency would have increased by 57% for the processor and 178% for the card. video.
Huawei's processor is expected to debut with the upcoming Huawei Mate 20 Pro on October 16, and during a brief presentation in Dubai, Huawei mentioned that it is sure the processor will be better than the A12 Bionic. The Kirin 980 is shaping up to be one of the best processors for this year, and it will be interesting to see how it compares to Apple's."
Huawei praises the new Kirin 980 chip as being extremely efficient from an energy point of view, but on the performance side it will most likely be the A12 Bionic, if it does not disappoint in the tests, and the Snapdragon 855. Considering that Huawei cheats in performance tests, reality is hard to distinguish, especially if that promised Performance Mode it will only remain at the promise stage, it will reduce the autonomy a lot anyway, and be somewhat useless in daily use.
