A few hours ago, Chinese manufacturing giant,
Huawei, announced that its latest 5G Kirin chip will touch down on March 30th. According to Huawei's sub-brand, Honor, the new
Kirin 820 5G chips will arrive online with the Honor 30S. This smartphone (Honor 30S) will also be the first mobile phone to use the Kirin 820 5G chip.According to
GeekBench, the Kirin 820 hit a single-core score of 3490 and a multi-core score of 11200. The test was run on GeekBench version 4.0. These scores mean that the upcoming Kirin chipset is in line with last year’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 flagship CPU; which is definitely great
news for
Huawei. The new SoC also smashed the older Kirin 980 by a good margin both in single-core and multi-core tests. The
Kirin 820 will probably follow the same successful path of the Huawei Kirin 810 released last year; a great and powerful CPU for Huawei / Honor mid-rangers.
