On December 26, it was reported that the sales of Huawei HiSilicon processors recently entered the top five in the world again, which attracted widespread attention. At the same time, with the launch of more "new Kirin" processors, Huawei HiSilicon's market share is expected to continue to rise.
According to the latest revelations from the well-known digital blogger @digitalchatstation, the specific processor specifications of the nova 12 series mobile phones released this afternoon have been roughly determined.
In this series, the Nova 12 Ultra will be powered by the Kirin 9000SL 5G processor, the Nova 12 Pro will be powered by the Kirin 8000 5G processor, and the Nova 12 Vitality Edition will be powered by the Snapdragon 778G 4G processor. The Kirin 9000SL and Kirin 8000 processors have the same bloodline as the Kirin 9000S processors used in the Huawei Mate 60 series, but the number of cores and frequency are slightly different to distinguish different product grades. The detailed specifications of the two Socs are still to be confirmed.
Not long ago, market research firm Counterpoint Research announced the share of global smartphone application processor (AP) shipments and revenue share for the third quarter of 2023.
In terms of smartphone processor sales revenue, Huawei HiSilicon regained its position among the top five in the world with a 3% share. This is mainly due to the hot sales of Huawei's self-developed Kirin chips in the Mate 60 series of mobile phones in the third quarter. It is foreseeable that in the future, low-end mobile phones such as the Nova series and Changxiang series will gradually adopt the new Kirin processor to replace the Qualcomm processor, which will further increase the market share of Huawei HiSilicon Kirin chips in the entire mobile market.
