Huawei recently launched two new chips: Kirin 820 and Kirin 980. Both chips adopt advanced 7nm technology, but they are different in performance and stability. This paper will analyze these two chips from multiple dimensions to help readers better understand their characteristics.

Lower power consumption and faster processing speed.

Kirin 820 adopts 7nm process, Kirin 980 goes further, and adopts 7nm+ process, which has lower power consumption and faster processing speed.

CPU/GPU performance is better.

The CPU of Kirin 980 adopts A76 core, with the highest frequency of 2.6 GHz, and the CPU of Kirin 820 has the highest frequency of 2.36 GHz. The GPU of Kirin 980 is the Mali-G76 10 core, which is more powerful than the Mali-G57 6 core of Kirin 820.

NPU has better performance.

Kirin 980 adopts a new generation of Da Vinci 1.0 architecture, with lower power consumption and better performance. The NPU performance of Kirin 820 is also quite good.

Better photo and video processing capabilities.

Kirin 980 has strong AI processing ability, which is 120% higher than Kirin 820. Its ISP supports 48-megapixel photo/video recording, providing excellent photo and video processing capabilities.

Security is more comprehensive

Kirin security chip independently developed by Kirin 980 provides comprehensive software and hardware security. Kirin 820 is slightly inferior in this respect.

Huawei is leading in technology.

Both Kirin 820 and Kirin 980 demonstrated Huawei's leading position in the technical field.
