Which one is better, Kirin 990 or Qualcomm Snapdragon 865?

Kirin 990 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 each have their own advantages.

One of the main factors that affects power consumption is the manufacturing process. The more advanced the manufacturing process, the lower the power consumption and the better the performance. Kirin 990 5G uses a 7-nanometer EUV process, which is the successor to the Xiaolong 865 7-nanometer process. Upgraded version, there is no doubt that the 7nm EUV process is better than the 7nm process in terms of thermal control.

In terms of performance, Snapdragon 865 should be better than Kirin 990 5G, but Kirin 990 5G dominates in terms of energy consumption. From the perspective of the entire chip, Snapdragon 865 is inherently superior in performance Kirin 990 5G, excluding architecture, Xiaolong 865 has more design space.

Kirin 990 5G integrates 5G baseband, while Qualcomm Xiaolong 865 supports 5G network and external Xiaolong X55 baseband. The external baseband leaves more space for design and better performance.

Extended information:

Snapdragon 865 and Snapdragon 765 support all 2G/3G/4G/5G modes, Sub-6GHz/millimeter wave, TDD/FDD, NSA/ SA, DSS (Dynamic Spectrum Sharing), carrier aggregation, download speed up to 3.7Gbps.

At the same time, they will continue to improve in photography, artificial intelligence, and games, including support for 4K·HDR video shooting and the integration of the fifth-generation artificial intelligence engine.

The artificial intelligence computing performance of the Snapdragon 865 platform is twice that of the previous one, and even supports image computing capabilities of up to 200 million pixels per second, and can support video recording at 8, K30 fps.

The Snapdragon 865 is superior to the previous generation in terms of central processing unit, graphics processor, artificial intelligence and camera.
