It is based on the 7nm EUV process which makes the chip power efficient and comes with a separate 5G modem. The 5G modem embedded into the mobile application processor can offer download speeds of up to 2.3Gbps and upload speeds of up to 1.23Gbps.
Huawei’s Kirin 990 SoC is an octa-core processor with 2 high-performance Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.86GHz and 2 Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.36GHz. The other four Cortex-A55 cores are clocked at 1.95GHz.
The Kirin 990 is touted to be the world’s first flagship 5G SoC because the Exynos 980 processor will power the mid-range Samsung devices rather than the flagship Galaxy S smartphones.
Huawei has confirmed that the Kirin 990 will power the Mate 30 series that is all set to launch on September 19. The company has added that the Mate 30 series will get the Kirin 990 5G and non 5G processors depending on the 5G-ready markets.
