Technical Specifications for the Kirin 9030 and 9030 Pro Processors Exposed
Following the release of new smartphones from HUAWEI, detailed online specification sheets have come up about the internal hardware. Although the official event didn't highlight the new chip architecture, the insider information updated the technical differences between the normal Kirin 9030 and superior Kirin 9030 Pro smartphone models which are used in Mate 80 Pro series.
Processor Core and Thread Configuration
The first major difference between the two platforms is the number of processing threads; according to the leaked images of the hardware specifications,
- Kirin 9030 Pro Has a 9-core architecture running 14 threads.
- Kirin 9030 (Base) Has a 9-core architecture running 12 threads.
Shared Technical Characteristics
Apart from the number of threads, they have other shared metrics of performance. Both Pro and basic versions a maximum clock speed of 2750 MHz. Furthermore, graphic processing capabilities in both are achieved through the built-in Mali-G76 MP10 GPU.
Performance Implications
So while the clock speed and graphics appear to be identical in nature over spec sheets, the thread variance would likely lead to different performance in multitasking and processing efficiency. When the first set of detailed reviews for the new smartphones comes out, true measurement on the impact of that 14-thread versus 12-thread structure in real-life use and benchmarking will start to unfold.
