On the program, a Kirin 940 and a Kirin 950, each equipped with four A53 cores and four A72 cores and will support the LPDDR4 RAM, the fastest memory on the market that can only be found on some high-ends.

The excellent Huawei P8.
Category 10 4G offers a theoretical speed of 450 Bits for download and 100 Mbps for upload. For its part, the Snapdragon 810 that can be found on three quarters of the flagships of 2015 offers 4G category 9 with speeds of 450 Bits for download and 50 Mbps in upload. The difference between the two is therefore not obvious. Nevertheless, the Kirin 950 will allow Huawei to align with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820, which will also offer Category 10 4G.
In addition, Huawei’s next two processors will be compatible with the LPDDR4 RAM,the fastest one currently available on the market. Both Soc also support 4K video recording, a feature that Huawei processors have been lacking until now.
While the 950 is expected only for the fourth quarter of the year, the Kirin 940 is expected for the third quarter. And according to the American website, Android Headlines, we would have a chance to find him in the heart of the Honor 7 which will be announced on June 30th. A speculation that we will nevertheless take with great hindsight because, until now, there was talk that it is equipped with a Kirin 935 processor. In any case, the Chinese manufacturer is preparing heavy with its next two Soc.
