Huawei’s HiSilicon 810 7nm SoC, outperforms the Snapdragon 730

Huawei launched its latest piece of ARM-based silicon, the Kirin 810 and it is a powerful thing.

The octa-core design has two high-performance ARM Cortex-A76 clocked at 2.27 GHz mated to six efficiency focused ARM Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.88 GHz for devices like Nova 5 smartphone. It is also paired with an ARM Mali-G52 MP6 that should produce some pretty decent performance. Taking the same architecture of old products down to the 7nm process, HiSilicon has been able to extract 11 percent faster single-core performance and 13 percent faster multi-core performance. It’s Mali-G52 MP6 also outperforms the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730’s Adreno 618 GPU with up to 44 percent faster framerates.

This kind of performance in a mid-range device wouldn’t have been out of place in flagship just 12 to 18 months ago. The new HiSilicon Kirin 810 is a solid mid-range chip that also happens to be the first made on a 7nm node.

The US sanctions have also left Huawei at odds with Google regarding the Android ecosystem and services. In a statement issued yesterday Huawei said that its current smartphone models like the P30 and Mate 20 will update to the new Android Q operating system when it is released later this year. The company is also preparing its own operating system, Hongmeng OS, which it plans to release early next year.

The Nova 5 and Nova 5 Pro smartphones are now on presale in China.
