What makes Honor View 20’s Kirin 980 processor so special?

Honor View 20 is a glitzy device to say the least. We have so far known many things about this kickass device. The 48MP AI dual camera and the 25MP AI in-screen front camera are two such outstanding features that make Honor View 20 a force to reckon with. But what about what lies inside? The brain of the device, the processor? Well, it’s also an epoch-making development in form of the Kirin 980 AI chipset.

So what makes it so special? To start with, I have to mention the fact that it is the world's first 7nm process mobile phone SoC chipset. The 7nm process technology improves performance by 20% and power efficiency by 40% as compared to the 10nm process. Kirin 980 is built with a 3 energy efficiency architecture which has 2 super cores, 2 large cores and 4 small efficiency cores. It is also worth mentioning that Kirin 980 is the world’s first cortex-A76 architecture chipset.

 The story of world’s first technology doesn’t just end there. Kirin 980 happens to be the world’s first dual NPU design and the world’s first chipset to support LTE Cat.21. With all these in store, Kirin 980 is able to bring together various technological innovations and leads the AI capabilities to provide a never-seen-before mobile phone experience. This leads to day to day convenience and eventually a smart way of living.

It is a marvel that Kirin 980 integrates 6.9 billion transistors in an area of less than 1 square centimetre to facilitate better performance. Cortex-A76 enables 75% improvement in single core performance. The LPDDR4X memory is well adapt to function at speeds up to 2133MHz.

 So how is Kirin 980 associated with AI functions? Well, this processor can swiftly adapt to AI functions like face recognition, object recognition, object detection, image segmentation and intelligent translation. The dual-core NPU can process 4500 images per minute; so be it a fast dance move or a sprinting athlete, Kirin 980 can focus on the subject in precision.

Kirin 980 also facilitates superior connectivity for you, thanks to its capacity to accommodate LTE Cat.21 which supports the fastest downlink at 1.4 Gbps and offers stable connection in congested areas like railway stations or subways.

All these make Kirin 980 is premium mobile phone processor and with the new Honor View 20, this magnificent technology is soon coming within the grip of your palm.
