Huawei today announced a new high-end chip unicorn 990, while Samsung is robbed on September 4 issued a Huawei phone chip Exynos980 before, these two chips are SOC 5G mobile phone chips, the two companies is diametrically opposed to the mobile phone companies, so these two chips whose performance it stronger?

Samsung Exynos980 8nm chip production process, dual-core A77 + A55 six-core architecture for high-performance core clocked A77 2.2GHz, GPU is Mali-G76 MP5. A77 core of the latest high-performance ARM core released this year, on the A76 performance than the previous generation increased by 20% Samsung Exynos980 uses the latest high-performance core can be seen in the pursuit of its mobile processor performance is quite radical.

However, only the number of Samsung Exynos980 GPU core chip of five, will lead to lower GPU performance, compared with GPU Exynos9820 chips released last year for the Mali-G76 MP12, more than seven Exynos980. Samsung to do so, it is estimated that the higher the A77 Exynos980 power consumption, and 8nm technology is relatively backward due to, in order to control the power consumption of the entire chip stack had to reduce the number of GPU cores.
Huawei Kirin 980 uses the latest 7nmEUV TSMC production process, a high-frequency dual-core + double-core high frequency A76 A76 A55 + quad-core design three clusters, frequency up A76 frequency 2.86GHz, this design can work with a better balance of properties consumption relationship, GPU is Mali-G76 MP16, processors equivalent of an upgraded version of the previous generation unicorn 980.

Kirin 980 using 7nm production process, quad-core A76 + A55 quad-core architecture, clocked at 2.6GHz A76's, GPU compared with Mali-G76 MP10. Comparative seen major changes compared Kirin Kirin 990 980 is the use of a more advanced technology, to enhance the power processor clocked at a more advanced technology, in terms of the number of cores GPU increased by six.
Samsung Exynos980 In the process behind the unicorn 990, but because the former uses a more advanced A77 core Kirin 990 alone more advanced technology to enhance processor performance estimates more limited, estimated Exynos980 processor performance than single-core Kirin 990 higher. Huawei previously published unicorn 970, 960 Kirin is the case, these two chips are quad-core processor quad-core A73 + A53 architecture, the former using 10nm technology, which uses 16nmFinFET process, Geekbench performance data shows that the former is not only to enhance the to 4%.
In GPU performance, since the GPU core Kirin 990 number up to 16, just five GPU cores Exynos980, but the former is more advanced technology, there is no doubt Kirin 990 will spike Exynos980.
Samsung released before the rush 5G phone Huawei SOC chip stunts suspects allegedly Exynos980 will be put into operation at the end of the year, and equipped with Kirin 990 Huawei mate30 this month on the market, no wonder Huawei executives said Samsung Exynos980 PPT chip is a chip. Bai Ming Technology believes that Samsung officially put into operation by the end of Exynos980 chip when it is estimated will be changed, and perhaps will use Samsung's latest 7nmEUV process, GPU core number likely will increase.
