Huawei is equipped with a Kirin 9000S processor in the latest Mate 60 series, but the official did not take the initiative to disclose any performance information about this processor, so how much has its performance improved compared to the Kirin 9000 processor released three years ago?
According to foreign media tests, Huawei's Kirin 9000S is not as good as Kirin 9000 in terms of process, but its performance in terms of CPU is comparable to that of Kirin 9000, and the multi-core is even slightly ahead, and the 5G modem and RF radio frequency chip used in Kirin 9000S have made significant progress and improvement.
Of course, in addition to the excellent performance of CPU and 5G, the Kirin 9000S also has a slight deficiency, that is, power consumption.
Foreign media said that the process of the Kirin 9000S is difficult to compare with the TSMC 5nm used in the Kirin 9000, so it lags behind the Kirin 9000 in terms of battery efficiency and graphics workload. Therefore, if the phone with the Kirin 9000s does not come with a large battery, the battery life may be mediocre.
At present, the Huawei Mate 60 series is still the best-selling smartphone, and there seems to be no feedback from many users that it has poor battery life due to the high power consumption of the processor.
It is worth mentioning that Huawei is currently vigorously cooperating with industry leading manufacturers to develop HarmonyOS native apps, which can improve the smoothness of Huawei mobile phones to a certain extent. If it is difficult for Kirin processors to catch up with Qualcomm, Apple and other manufacturers in terms of performance and power consumption in a short period of time, then the HarmonyOS native application ecosystem may help Huawei close the gap.
