Huawei Mate60 is Huawei's flagship smartphone released in September 2023, equipped with a Kirin 9000S processor, which is an octa-core chip based on the 5nm process process, which is made up of 262GHz mega-core + 3 x 215GHz large core + 4 pcs 153 GHz small nucleus composition. The Kirin 9000s processor also uses hyper-threading technology, which can reach 12 threads with the support of hyper-threading for medium and large cores, so that a single processor can perform better when running multi-threaded operations.
Hyper-threading is a technology that allows a single physical core to emulate two logical cores, thereby improving the utilization and efficiency of the processor. When a physical core is executing a task, if it encounters waiting or blocking, a part of the resources will be wasted, and hyper-threading technology can allow this physical core to execute another task while waiting, thereby improving the parallelism and throughput of the processor.
The 8-core and 12-thread hyper-threading technology means that the 4 medium cores and 3 large cores in the Kirin 9000s processor all support hyper-threading technology, while the ultra-large cores do not support hyper-threading technology. In this way, 8 physical cores can emulate 12 logical cores, which improves the performance of the processor. This technology can play an advantage in dealing with multi-tasking and multi-threading scenarios, such as editing, games, artificial intelligence, etc.
