The Huawei P8, the Chinese company’s next high-end company, will be made official in April. In the meantime, the latter has just lifted the veil on its latest processor which will likely be shipped by the device, the Kirin 930. A 64-bit core octo soc engraved in 16 nanometers that will consist of four A53 cores and four A53E cores. The promise of excellent autonomy, you will understand why.
The processor of the future Huawei P8.
Reading these lines, you probably wonder what may well be behind this atypical appellation. Well it’s just four A53 cores improved and very different from the original version since clocked at 2 Ghz. An invention of Huawei that will allow to gain power and autonomy.
As you probably already know, the A53 cores are clocked at 1.2 Ghz, so they are less powerful than the A57s clocked at 2 Ghz and not enough, on their own, to power a flagship. Unfortunately, A57 cores also have their flaws. Thus, as the Chinese manufacturer explains to us, in addition to being 56% more powerful than the A53, they also consume 256% more energy.
The impact on autonomy is therefore important and this is precisely what Huawei wanted to avoid with its latest Kirin 930 processor. We are not yet sure what to expect in front of them competing octo core processors consisting of four A57 cores and four A53 cores, however it is also this processor that is found on board the MediaPad X2, formalized during the last MWC, accompanied by 2GB of Ram.
And for information, the phablet recently achieved a score of more than 50,000 points on the benchmark tool AnTuTu, which is excellent. We can therefore hope that the performances will be there, while offering a preserved autonomy. A challenge that seems to be close to Huawei’s heart and goes in the same direction as keeping Full HD 1080p screens on all its high-end.
