Huawei launches four new Kirin chips, all gains are self-reported
Huawei's Mate 90 lineup ships entirely on new Kirin chips; the claimed gains are vendor figures with no third-party testing yet.
At its Mate 90 launch event on October 1, Huawei announced a new Kirin generation: flagship τ chips 9030 and 9035, plus its first logic-folded τ chips, the 9050 and 9050 Pro, across the entire Mate 90 lineup.
Per IT之家's on-site report, the Kirin 9050 Pro supports 9-core 16-thread CPU and is claimed to deliver 23% multi-core and 140% NPU gains; the Kirin 9030 is claimed at 13% CPU and 54% GPU improvement over the prior 9020.
All improvement figures are Huawei's own event claims with no independent testing yet. Neither the event nor the report disclosed the chips' process node or manufacturer.
