Most likely, the updated chip for smartphones will become a somewhat modernized version of its predecessor. So, therefore, the novelty will be manufactured according to the same 7 nm process technology using EUVL technology. The main goal of the update at the same time, it’s not hard to guess, is to introduce a 5G modem.
What's new for the Kirin 985 processor?
Apparently, the new SoC will not receive new computing power. It can be assumed that Huawei will work on energy efficiency of the processor, as well as add support for new technologies. Recall that soon the flagship line of the new Huawei P30 Pro smartphones will be presented, which according to official data will receive the Kirin 980. Accordingly, the upgraded HiSilicon Kirin should not be expected before the second quarter of this year.
Recall that HUAWEI is simultaneously preparing for the presentation NOVA 4Ewhose technical specifications have already been disclosed.
