How about Huawei Kirin 960?

I want to know what the subjects heard. what did you say ? How good is 960?

But I think you may have misunderstood,

Let's just say, for example, after the iphone4S, everyone said that Apple's mobile phone was not good, and it was no longer the apple that surprised the world. It can no longer be hyped by the media, but its products are still amazing apples. But Apple 5, 6 (even 7) is one of the best mobile phones in the world (even one of them can be removed), but Apple has given us too many reverie, and now he has made little progress and finally degenerated into "one".

But Huawei is just the opposite. Huawei is a China enterprise. We are used to the fact that there is no CPU in the history of 5,000 years, and we are used to paying something similar to VCD patent tax to foreign manufacturers in the 2G era. But now, it has not only achieved a reversal in the 4G and future 5G phases, but also surpassed itself at an alarming rate! Now, it has finally become that kind of "one"!

Our expectation for Huawei is: Why buy an ARM license? Can you read it when you buy it? Can you do it? -but he not only did it, but also made 900 series and 600 series, forming a complete product line!

Our expectation for Huawei is: Yo-ho, your Hisilicon Kirin 930 is good, and it has caught up with the performance of MediaTek in a blink of an eye. Come on, the sooner the better. Don't you know how much you weigh? -But people are not satisfied with A53. In less than 10 months, they came up with a top A72 core 950! I don't know how many times I surpassed myself yesterday!

Our expectation for Huawei is that you will buy the license as soon as ARM's A73 core comes out? What's your hurry? It's expensive to die, but you still want to be at the forefront of the world? -But somebody just took out the world's first A73 core processor! Starting today! It has been four months since 960 was released! Qualcomm didn't come up with an A73 product, and he was still mixed with A72' s 650/652. Even if he looks down on the ARM public core, even if the successor 835 of the self-developed core 820 is a waiting flower.

Isn't such an enterprising and energetic enterprise worthy of respect?

Shouldn't we applaud a group of researchers who constantly surpass themselves and represent the highest level of development in China?

Can't writing a new chapter in China's mobile phone industry with strength and depicting a bright future arouse inner pride?

Today's Huawei has room to brag even when it comes to performance. What's more, if you talk about performance, you have exposed your ignorance:

Android phones have just been born for a few years. How can we forget those days when people were in control without independent CPU? You have no say in your profit margin, your release time and your pricing strategy. Even if today's Huawei Kirin has no performance at all, at least I don't have to look at my face when I do things. This is a completely independent mobile phone!

Today, Huawei dares to sell the lowest price in the world in China, and dare to provide a Pro version with the same appearance as Porsche design but almost half the price as a welfare for the Chinese people. It can surpass Apple to become the second in the world after Samsung in terms of shipment list indicators, and attract Leica, which has been not optimistic in the field of mobile phone cameras, to cooperate in this field for the first time!

What's more, mobile phone performance evaluation is what it is. When you turn on any computer-side CPU for evaluation, you will see that the performance of a CPU must be tested by at least the software links of CineBench, wPrime, 3DMark, PCMark, superPI or chess, WinRAR and PhotoShop, and then tested by at least three game masterpieces in the actual working environment, so as to be modest and even humble, and then a conclusion can be drawn: "According to the evaluation scores of each software, let's estimate." And if you have seen the test of graphics cards, you will know that the optimization of software by these companies is the most important determinant, and the number of optimized games is the market share. And! Most importantly! No matter what evaluation, other hardware used in the test will be published (more strictly speaking, even the indoor temperature during the test) in order to ensure that these data are comparable in the same environment! Then I want to ask, are there not so many accessories in the mobile phone? Do you at least have to make sure that they are all stored in UFS or eMMC, have 4G memory, or work at 25% full power? Not to mention Master Lu and Ann Bunny. Whose financial support is behind them? Who is qualified to confuse people with the words of one family?

This is the evolution of Kirin from generation to generation. An IT person, if he doesn't brag, you don't believe it, but I believe he dares to brag!

Because Huawei Kirin, the first Chinese core, has been given a lot of expectations. It is normal for some people to blow their skins and businesses to blow their skins. When any chip comes out, there will be a publicity period. During this time, everyone has his own blow, so we can't do without publicity.

In fact, Kirin chip is really awesome. Why? patent

First, popularize a concept. What we generally call a processor is a continuation of the previous computer hardware name. In fact, the correct statement in the mobile phone should be called SOC.

SOC(System on Chip): system on a chip, also known as system on chip, means that it is a product, an integrated circuit with a proprietary goal, which contains a complete system and embeds all the contents of the software. CPU, GPU, bus, display accelerator, ISP, video codec, audio processor, memory controller, sensor processing unit, and external interfaces such as DDR, Flash, display interface, camera interface, RF and USB.

These components should be integrated to form a whole. Moreover, it is necessary to ensure the coordinated and stable operation of all components, and the research and development expenses invested in such design technology are not acceptable to every manufacturer.

For SOC, the most important thing is baseband. At present, even Apple has been plugging in Qualcomm baseband. Last year, Intel was partially changed. Results The measured signal speed of foreign media is much worse than that of Qualcomm, and the baseband can rival or even surpass that of Qualcomm. Huawei is the only one in the world. After all, people are now the first in the world in communication equipment.

Compared with Apple's and Qualcomm's chips, Huawei's Kirin chip does have a gap, but it has done a very good job with technical components, and the efforts behind it must also be recognized.

Kirin chips do have "gold content". No matter what kind of license you get from ARM, you still need to pay fees, and there are a lot of R&D fees. In addition to hard work and technology, Kirin chip also needs real gold and silver, which is very "gold content".

At present, Kirin mobile phone chips are only used on Huawei mobile phone products. If we regard Kirin chip as a part of Huawei mobile phone, we will find some advantages of Kirin chip over other domestic chips.

1, the timing of chip launch

Take Kirin 960 as an example, starting with A73 and Mail-G7 1. Although it's not as good as Qualcomm's independent framework, it's faster to launch. With the launch of Mate 9, this chip came to consumers for the first time. Taking Kirin 950 as an example, the process of 16nm is adopted faster, so that the advantages of the process can be passed on to consumers quickly. Kirin chips serve Huawei mobile phones very well. Conversely, because of the release time and loading time of Huawei's mobile phone, Kirin chip has a better performance, and at the same time staggered the positive competition with Qualcomm.

2. The direction of chip design

Hard work is important, but direction is more important. The purpose of Kirin chip is to provide better support for Huawei mobile phones, so the design will also be influenced by Huawei mobile phones. Taking Kirin 960 as an example, the security, audio and isp harmonious processors are very good and targeted. This witnessed attack gave Kirin a chance to surpass its competitors in some places. There are many customers in Qualcomm, and each mobile phone product has different characteristics, so it can only be done in a big way, and some places will be almost boring.

3. More room for optimization

Take Huawei Mate 9 as an example, and comprehensively enhance the experience through chip+latest Android system+optimization. This platform-based solution is not available to many mobile phone manufacturers. Huawei's approach is actually a bit similar to Apple's. If we optimize the chip ourselves, the effect will be better. And the good effect can in turn give the outside world a feeling that the Kirin chip is very powerful.

As the saying goes, gold is not enough, and Huawei's Kirin chip is not perfect. At the same time, it should be noted that Kirin chip has been developed for many years and is a process of gradual improvement. It is difficult to judge whether the gold content of Kirin chip is high or not, but it is certain that the gold content is gradually increasing.

What can I say? Qualcomm is still the chip overlord. If you want to compare Qualcomm 82 1 with 960, you can't compare with it. I have tested it myself, and Qualcomm is slightly better in stability and compatibility.

Of course, Huawei 960 also has some advantages over Qualcomm, such as signal and power consumption.

If you play those super-large games or 3D HD games, don't buy 960, use Qualcomm 820 or above.

After all, Qualcomm has always been the lever of GPU.

Huawei, I have also seen his efforts, and I believe it will become stronger and stronger in the near future. We should know the gap between ourselves and them, and don't blindly follow the trend.

Mate 9 introduced the new generation processor Kirin 960 of Huawei. As the top representative of domestic mobile chips, Mate 9 has made new breakthroughs in six aspects: performance (explosive power), battery life (battery life), camera (vision), audio (hearing), communication (communication) and safety (protection).

Without blowing or blackening, the following is the real technical strength of Kirin 960, and many foreign media are amazed.

In terms of performance, Kirin 960 took the lead in commercializing A73 CPU cores, integrating four A73 and four A53 cores, with the highest frequency of 2.4GHz, performance improvement 18% and energy efficiency improvement15%; Mali-G7 1 GPU core was first commercialized, and it has eight cores. Graphics performance soared 180%, and energy efficiency increased by 20%. At the same time, the performance constraint of CPU on GPU is lifted, and the multi-core performance is improved. It also supports 2K/90fps VR, including Google Daydream, and the MTP delay is less than18ms. Take the lead in commercializing a complete Vulkan API solution, support Android 6.0/7.0, release the performance of multi-core GPU, and improve it by 40-400% in an all-round way; Take the lead in commercializing UFS 2. 1 storage technology, and improve reading and writing performance 100%.

In terms of battery life, by integrating the new intelligent core i6, the pedometer power consumption is reduced by 40%, and the integrated positioning power consumption is reduced by 75%, which supports low-power navigation and near Google.

In terms of taking pictures, it supports hybrid focus, which is faster and more accurate; PrimISP 2.0, high-definition hardware deep processor, with double performance; Hardware super-resolution, enhanced 2 times dual-camera optical zoom and 6 times digital zoom, 4K hardware video stability; Black and white dual cameras, real-time fusion, capture more details; The photographic angle of view is wider and the image is more blurred, which is comparable to SLR.

Audio, support Hi-Fi level experience, 24bit/ 192kHz, DSD lossless format; A new generation of pickup technology, ANC actively reduces noise; Hi6403, the third generation self-developed intelligent audio scheme, supports low power consumption mode; The playback performance is improved, and the noise floor of the mobile phone is reduced to-1 17dBV.

In terms of communication, it integrates a brand-new self-developed baseband, supports LTE Cat. 12/ 13, downloads 600Mbps at peak, and supports four carrier aggregation. Quan netcom, 330MHz-3.8GHz full-mode full frequency band, including 5 2G frequency bands, 10 3G frequency bands and 20 4G frequency bands, supports 2 1334 operators in 7 countries and regions, and has a variety of dual card combinations. WCDMA can also be used as a secondary card. Yin Yue 2.0 solution, HD voice+HD call, SPLC intelligent voice enhancement.

In terms of security, the concept of trusted connection, financial-grade security SoC, dual authentication of central bank and UnionPay, and the security level is comparable to that of UnionPay IC card /U shield; Integrated inSE security engine, multiple encryption algorithms to prevent physical attacks; Chip-level anti-counterfeiting base stations cut off fraudulent short messages from the source.

950,960 has never been used, but the previous Kirin chip was really rubbish, worse than MediaTek. A few years ago, I played patriotic cards and hired a large number of water army public opinion to build momentum and cover up shortcomings (such as gpu game shortcomings and poor screen memory). ), amplify or even fabricate advantages (such as reverse generation emcc4g memory, software opening speed compared with fake video, etc. ), such as JD.COM, the enemy of China downstairs, who is not a professional water army who will list so many data and pictures to reply? This kind of bottomless public relations can easily fool new users who don't know much about mobile phones.

Just try it yourself. Kirin 960 is the world's first mobile phone processor integrated with G7 1, and its graphics processing function is very powerful. Needless to say, the performance is very strong. Although the running score is not as good as Qualcomm 82 1, the actual use is faster than 82 1. Qualcomm 82 1 feels a little high score and low energy. Personally, I feel that Huawei is very pragmatic, and even the processor reflects this style.

On April 26th, I bought a Huawei mate9 mobile phone at the Dazhong counter. To be honest, it feels good! After the meeting at noon, it may be that too many open software were not closed in time, and the mobile phone was a little hot. But when I charged my mobile phone in the afternoon, I found it very hot. Later, I quickly checked online. At first glance, many users have also encountered this problem, and I didn't care too much! After using it for three days, the mobile phone restarted itself once. By the afternoon of the seventh day, many commonly used software automatically flashed back after opening, which was annoying! Then I went to Dazhong the next morning and said I would return it. It's too annoying to use. I wanted to support domestic mobile phones, but I didn't expect it to be so unlucky. Dazhong sales said I want to test it! I had to take my mobile phone to the testing service center in Liangxiang. I waited there for a while, but the receptionist's attitude was not very good. I asked what happened, and then I took my mobile phone to test it. It took more than an hour! The waiting time is always long. During this period, there were many people who came for maintenance and testing, and many people also reported that their mobile phones had similar fever. The service staff's answer was speechless, saying that the mobile phone fever test was recorded, and it was normal to be below 40 degrees. Your child has a fever of 38 degrees and it's still hot! This kind of service and explanation, alas, is really normal in our big China! Ha ha! I don't know how to test my mobile phone. I told it that the mobile phone is fine and the hardware is fine, but the version used by Huawei's mobile phone is the latest. If you want to use third-party software, you have to wait for the third-party software company to upgrade. This explanation is also very speechless! Tell me that you can help me restore the factory settings and then download the software again. It seems that this is the only way! I'm waiting. After I restore the factory settings, I'll download the software in front of the staff: WeChat, qq, etc! They said no problem, and told me to download it back if nothing happened! I said I wanted to return the goods, but they said the machine itself was fine and no test results were issued! Just then, something embarrassing happened. The mobile phone I am downloading is magically turned off and restarted, so I can only hehe! I said, look at this! She may also feel that there seems to be a real problem, and she came into the room with her mobile phone and didn't know what to say. Another male staff member read this and said, I can't go out for testing, let me take it back and return it! At this time, the woman took out her mobile phone and said it was a little scratched. It was really a little speckled when I saw it! I said that you checked it during the test just now, and my mobile phone also bought a mobile phone case, but when you told me this at this time, she said that there was no monitoring here, so what! Well, I think it's bad luck! I said, look at the mobile phone, how to solve it like this! Hey, very helpless, very speechless! Fortunately, another staff member said that it was a problem with the mobile phone and the result could be obtained. Let me wait a little longer. He wants to report it! Continue to wait until 12, and finally get the test results. The woman said that the test results have been given to you, so you can review them for us in the future! But you have to discuss with Dazhong, we can't control it! A hundred people in my heart don't want to. At that time, I also said, OK, no problem! Nobody wants to do this. Sorry to trouble you! Fortunately, the communication with Dazhong went smoothly in the next two days. Yesterday afternoon (2065438+May 5, 2007), the money for buying a mobile phone was refunded to me! I want to support it wholeheartedly.

The comprehensive performance is equivalent to 42% performance of Xiaolong 865, CPU performance is equivalent to 44% performance of Xiaolong 865, and GPU performance is equivalent to 38% performance of Xiaolong 865.

Kirin 960 is really strong and has made remarkable progress. Of course, the most important thing is that Kirin 960 fills the previous shortcomings-GPU, CDMA baseband integration and other issues, plus other upgrades, it is not an exaggeration to become the most perfect model of Kirin chip.

The mobile phone I am using now is mate9Pro, which is equipped with Kirin 960. If nothing else, it is said that when playing games, the glory of the king usually has the fastest loading speed. When I used to play black with my friends with Meizu MX5, the old machine that was ridiculed all day loaded the slowest (my friends used Glory v8 and Kirin 955). Now when he is still 35%, I am 100%, which is also faster than other friends' 6s. . Therefore, it is conceivable whether Kirin 960 is good or not.
