The Kirin 810 is a mid-to-high-end processor developed by Huawei, manufactured using a 7nm process, targeting the smartphone processor market that provides high performance and energy efficiency. At the time of its release, it was seen as a contender to the Snapdragon 730G, a direct competitor. The Kirin 810's performance is even comparable to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 or Snapdragon 845 in some aspects, especially in terms of AI performance, but it may be slightly inferior in terms of graphics processing power.
CPU performance: The Kirin 810's CPU performance is excellent in the mid-to-high-end segment, and its CPU configuration is able to compete with the Snapdragon 730G and even surpass the Snapdragon 730G in some tasks.
GPU performance: While the Kirin 810's GPU performance is very good, the Snapdragon 835 and Snapdragon 845's Adreno GPUs may perform better in terms of graphics in comparison.
AI performanceThe Kirin 810 is particularly powerful in AI computing, and thanks to Huawei's self-developed Da Vinci architecture NPU, it may surpass the Snapdragon 835 and Snapdragon 845 in terms of AI performance, and even close to or surpass the Snapdragon 730G.
Therefore, when comparing the Kirin 810 directly to the Snapdragon family of processors, it is roughly equivalent to the performance between the Snapdragon 835 and the Snapdragon 845, depending on whether CPU performance, GPU performance, or AI performance is evaluated. However, please note that this comparison is only a rough estimate, and actual performance will vary depending on the specific use case and optimization.
For most apps and games, the Kirin 810 is capable of delivering a smooth experience. Although it may not perform as well as the Snapdragon 845 or higher-end processors in the latest high-end games, the Kirin 810 is a very powerful option for the mid-to-high-end market.
