The arrival of Huawei Mate 60 series,Undoubtedly, announced the return of Kirin chips,The follow-up Huawei nova 12 series has debuted two Kirin chips,So far,There have been 3 new Kirin chips launched on Huawei mobile phones,They are Kirin 9000S、Kirin 9000SL and Kirin 8000,The three are positioned as flagships、High-end and mid-range respectively。
So with the return of Kirin chips and the continuous improvement of product lines, where do those old Kirin chip phones go? How can you tell if the product needs to be replaced? This problem is actually relatively simple, just look at the performance gap between the old Kirin chip and the ** Kirin chip, if you want to have a good performance experience, you can't be too different from the performance of Kirin 8000.
Although the Kirin 9000 and Kirin 9000E are products from a few years ago, they are still flagship-level existence, in Geekbench 5, the Kirin 9000 scored 1019 points for single-core, 3770 points for multi-core, 995 points for single-core and 3649 points for multi-core, and 1005 points for Kirin 9000s single-core and 4019 points for multi-core.
In GFXBENCH 50 In the Bechmark Aztec Runis 1080p test, the Kirin 9000 scored 88 fps, the Kirin 9000E scored 81 fps, and the Kirin 9000SL scored 82 fps.
Judging from the running scores, the performance of the Kirin 9000 is even better than that of the Kirin 9000s, and the performance of the Kirin 9000e and Kirin 9000s can be said to be half a catty.
However, to measure the performance of the processor, in addition to considering the performance score, energy efficiency performance is also very important, in this regard, the Kirin 9000 and Kirin 9000E will be better because of the TSMC 5nm process.
Judging from the CPU energy efficiency data of Geek Bay, Kirin 9000> Kirin 9000S> Kirin 8000> Kirin 9000SL. In terms of GPU energy efficiency, the Kirin 9000 is also significantly ahead of the new three Kirin processors. The CPU specifications of the Kirin 9000E and Kirin 9000 are basically the same, and the GPU is only missing 2 cores, so its energy efficiency is almost the same as that of the Kirin 9000.
Geek Bay: CPU energy efficiency.
Next is the Kirin 990 series, the series has Kirin 990 5G, Kirin 990 and Kirin 990E three products, the process and architecture of the three are the same, but there are differences in CPU frequency or GPU core, of which Kirin 990 5G and Kirin 990 are just a little different in CPU core frequency, Kirin 990E and Kirin 990 5G CPU is the same, but GPU is missing 2 cores.
Judging from the running scores of related products, the three products of the Kirin 990 series are ahead of the Kirin 8000 in terms of CPU performance, and the gap between them and the Kirin 9000SL is not very large.
On the GPU, Kirin 9000SL has obvious advantages, but compared with Kirin 8000, Kirin 9905G and Kirin 990 have stronger performance, only Kirin 990E is worse than Kirin 8000, but the gap is not very big, it belongs to the kind of gap that is not strong in perception.
Overall, although the Kirin 990 series is not as good as the Kirin 9000SL, it is still a little stronger than the Kirin 8000, so from the perspective of chip performance, products equipped with Kirin 990 series chips can still fight.
Further down is Kirin 980, Kirin 985, Kirin 820 and Kirin 810 These products, in terms of CPU running scores, Kirin 980 and Kirin 985 CPU and Kirin 8000 The difference is within 10%, so daily use can not open a big gap, Kirin 820 is actually barely strong, Kirin 810 is really a bit insufficient, its CPU multi-core is relatively large.
As for the GPU part, the Kirin 8000's advantages are more obvious than the CPU part, but even the Kirin 8000's gaming performance is not very strong, so there is no need to think about this problem for the other Kirin chips. On the whole, these four old Kirin chips are no longer so capable of playing, especially the Kirin 810 is no longer enough.
From the point of view of performance scores, the Kirin 9000 series and Kirin 990 series are still worry-free, the Kirin 980 and Kirin 985 can also hold on, the Kirin 820 is barely strong, and the Kirin 810 is still forgotten.
In addition to the performance score, the combination of memory and flash memory also needs attention, those old products that are lower than the 8+256GB version can no longer meet the needs of many people for the main machine, especially the 6+64GB product, which can only be an old machine.
On the whole, the Kirin 9000 and Kirin 9000e related machines are still stress-free, and the Kirin 990 series machines need to consider whether the storage is enough, and the rest can only be said to be replaced, there is really no need to carry it.
