Kylin's swan song? Performance evaluation of Kirin 9000
As the last mobile phone processor launched by Huawei due to chip blocking, the Kirin 9000 has a unique performance at the beginning of its launch in 2020. Now, two years after its launch, how about its specific performance? I have compiled the performance introduction of the Kirin 9000 processor for you. I hope it can help you!
Kylin's swan song? Kirin 9000 Performance Evaluation
1. The world's first 5G mobile phone SoC with 5nm process
The progress of process can make chips of the same size hold more transistors, which often represents the improvement of chip energy efficiency ratio. At this time, the baton of the mobile phone SoC process is moving from 7nm to 5nm. The A14 bionic chip just released with the iPad Air4 and iPhone 12 series is the first 5nm mobile phone chip officially released. However, this chip is attached with a Qualcomm X55 modem, so it is not strictly a 5G SoC.
However, unlike the A14 bionics, Huawei Baron 5G modems have become more and more mature with the development of the Kirin 9000 generation. The modems integrated in the SoC have not only met the previously recognized low power consumption and low heat properties, but also achieved a peak performance far exceeding that of competitors in the current network test. Thanks to the 5nm process, Kirin 9000 has integrated 15.3 billion transistors, 30% more than A14 bionics.
2. CPU, GPU and NPU have been upgraded, and their performance is far better than that of competitors
8 core CPUs, the highest dominant frequency of the three-tier energy efficiency architecture can reach 3.13GHz, 10% faster than the competing products;
24 core Mali-G78 GPU, the first in the industry, with performance 52% higher than that of competing products;
NPU adopts dual core+micronucleus architecture, and AI benchmark 4.0 ETH scores up to 148008, 2.4 times the performance of competitors.
At the same time, compared with the competitor Kirin 9000, it has a better energy efficiency ratio. The CPU energy efficiency is 25% higher, the GPU energy efficiency is 50% higher, and the NPU energy efficiency is 150% higher.
3. Huawei's most advanced ISP has greatly improved its performance compared with the previous generation
Compared with the previous generation chips, the ISP6.0 on the Kirin 9000 has a 50% increase in throughput and a 48% increase in video noise reduction effect.
"We pursue speed and never stop", Yu Chengdong used this sentence to connect the preceding and the following when talking about the chip hard parameter summary and software optimization transition, which is also a close summary of the development history of Heisi Qilin. Kirin 9000 has become the most powerful Mate and represents the peak of SoC design of domestic smart phones.
4. Power consumption framesRate introduction
According to market data, the bottleneck of Kirin 9000 is that its peak performance has failed to catch up with that of Snapdragon 8Gen1 and Tianji 9000. However, according to media test data, the overall power consumption of Peugeot Citroen is 5.6W, achieving an average frame rate of 47fps.
In other words, the Kirin 9000 processor can still be called an excellent sub flagship chip, comparable to the Tianji 8100 processor next door, but slightly weaker than the A13 processor.
However, from the perspective of daily performance, the Kirin 9000 chip is still the first tier. Its daily power consumption is very low, and its energy efficiency ratio is far higher than that of the flagship chip of a friend. This is one of the reasons why the product itself has been released for about two years, and users still support it.
The above is the performance introduction of the Kirin 9000 processor. Even as a processor released nearly two years ago, its performance is still strong. It not only has the lowest power consumption, but also meets the needs of users for daily use and smooth mobile games. Those who like this processor can start with the corresponding mobile phone!
