In addition to the smartphone performance rankings, Master Lu recently released the 2019 chipset ranking list. Not surprisingly, Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus became the "chip king" of the year with 348837 points.
The much-watched Kirin 990 5G has a chip score of around 20,000 lower than the Snapdragon 855 Plus, making it second.
MediaTekโs new 5G chip Dimensity1000L is ranking eighth, with a total CPU and GPU score slightly higher than the Snapdragon 765G.
Master Lu said that because the Snapdragon 865 has not yet been equipped in any phone model, it is not in the annual chip rankings. Therefore, as of 2019, the first place in the chip market is still the Snapdragon 855 Plus.
Although Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus is just a transition chip, it is clear that the overall performance still has advantages. The process still uses 7nm, and the processor's frame is also Kryo 485. It's just that the frequency of the processor's CPU and GPU has been enhanced on the original version, and supports external 5G baseband chips.
The Kirin 990 5G powered by Huawei Mate30 series uses DaVinci architecture NPU, innovative design of NPU large core + NPU micro core architecture. The NPU large core achieves excellent performance and energy efficiency for large computing power scenarios. Power consumption applications make full use of the intelligent computing power of the new NPU architecture.
In terms of CPU, Kirin 990 uses three-stage energy efficiency architecture with 2 large cores + 2 medium cores + 4 small cores, with a maximum frequency of 2.86GHz. The GPU is equipped with a 16-core Mali-G76, and the new system-level Smart Cache achieves intelligent offloading, effectively saving bandwidth and reducing power consumption.
Master Lu said that with the release of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 flagship 5G chip in the United States, important players of 5G chips have already revealed their hole cards before the end of the year.
All this happened in just three months from September to December. Before the large-scale commercialization of 5G mobile phones, 5G chip companies sprinted into a full-scale competition.
