After the Spring Festival holiday, as major mobile phone manufacturers have successively released new devices, news about Huawei's next-generation Kirin processors has increased.
Today, the industry insider @手机晶片达人 revealed that Hisilicon 5nm Kirin processor has been well verified in Dongguan, Beijing and other places, and large-scale delivery is expected to begin in August.
Frandroid previously revealed that Huawei will use the 5nm process to mass-produce the next-generation flagship chip Kirin 1020, which is expected to be available in the third quarter of this year.
Huawei Kirin 1020 will use ARM Cortex-A78 architecture. Thanks to the 5nm process, Kirin 1020 can accommodate 171.3 million transistors per square millimeter, and its performance is 50% higher than that of Kirin 990.
It is reported that TSMC will begin mass production of 5nm chips in April. The 5nm process is a new generation of chip manufacturing technology following the 7nm process that was mass-produced in 2018.
But it is not clear which company TSMC started mass production of chips in April.
As usual, Huawei's new Kirin flagship processor will be launched every fall, and the Huawei Mate 40 series may be the first to be equipped with the Kirin 1020 processor.
