In-depth Analysis of the Kirin 9020 Processor in the Huawei Mate70 Pro Series: Performance Surge and Upgraded Experience

Since Huawei smartphones overcame technological blockades, maintaining secrecy around new device specifications has become the norm. Information regarding Kirin processors and network signals is rarely publicly disclosed. While users have gained a general understanding of performance and network speed through testing, official data remains scarce. This is particularly true for the recently released Huawei Mate70 Pro series, whose Kirin 9020 processor remains shrouded in mystery. However, recent market rumors have not only revealed benchmark scores but also shed light on core specifications, with single-core and multi-core scores being reconfirmed, indicating a significant performance improvement in the new generation processor.

According to leaked benchmark scores, the Kirin 9020 achieves an impressive 1600 points in the GeekBench 6 single-core test and a remarkable 5100 points in the multi-core test. This performance not only surpasses its predecessor but also approaches that of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+, offering users a significant performance boost. The multi-core performance sits between the Dimensity 8300 and Dimensity 9200, sufficient for most users' needs. This decisively refutes claims that domestic chip performance is insufficiently aggressive, marking a significant rise of domestically-produced chips.

The Kirin 9020's strong performance also benefits from the addition of HarmonyOS NEXT. Reportedly, the Mate70 series, optimized with HarmonyOS NEXT, sees a performance improvement of up to 40%, resulting in significantly enhanced smoothness, improved power consumption control, and further performance unleashing, leading to an exceptional everyday user experience. Furthermore, the Kirin 9020 integrates an advanced 5G modem and boasts powerful computing capabilities in AI and ISP, further enhancing user experience and demonstrating its strength.

• Beyond single-core and multi-core scores, more detailed benchmark data and core specifications have circulated in the market. The Kirin 9020 reportedly uses a 12-thread CPU with a configuration of 22.5GHz + 62.15GHz + 41.6GHz, and a Mali-G920 GPU clocked at 840MHz. In comparison, the Kirin 9010 features a CPU configuration of 22.3GHz + 62.18GHz + 41.55GHz and a Mali-G910 GPU. The Kirin 9020 represents a comprehensive upgrade in both CPU cores and GPU, explaining the significant jump in benchmark scores.

Antutu benchmark scores further corroborate the performance improvement of the Kirin 9020. The Kirin 9020 achieves an overall Antutu score of approximately 1,250,000 points, with CPU, GPU, memory, and UX scores of approximately 350,000, 280,000, 410,000, and 210,000 points respectively. The Kirin 9010 achieves an overall score of approximately 980,000 points, with CPU, GPU, memory, and UX scores of around 330,000, 200,000, 280,000, and 180,000 points respectively. While the CPU score difference is relatively small, the Kirin 9020 shows approximately a 42% increase in GPU score and a 47% increase in memory score, demonstrating significant performance gains.

GeekBench 6 data also reveals an 8.7% increase in peak CPU frequency and a 12% increase in GPU frequency for the Kirin 9020. These frequency increases inevitably lead to performance improvements and suggest advancements in energy efficiency.

However, for Huawei smartphones today, sheer performance is no longer the sole measure of competitiveness. On one hand, domestic chips remain in a breakthrough phase, requiring continuous improvement and refinement. On the other hand, Huawei prioritizes user experience optimization. Even if performance slightly lags behind competitors, it still delivers a smooth and comfortable user experience in daily use.

Furthermore, the Huawei Mate70 series boasts features like side-mounted fingerprint recognition, a 120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate screen, a 1.5MP spectral channel maple original color camera, Beidou satellite messaging, Star Flash fast connection technology, IP68+IP69 waterproof and dustproof rating, a USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface, and AI air transmission, further enhancing user experience and product competitiveness, and serving as key selling points.

In conclusion, the powerful combination of the Kirin 9020 processor and HarmonyOS 4.3 is poised to drive sales of the Huawei Mate70 series to new heights. The outstanding performance of the Kirin 9020 and Huawei's relentless pursuit of user experience optimization together build the strong competitiveness of the Huawei Mate70 series. We look forward to Huawei achieving greater breakthroughs in chip technology in the future, bringing users even more exceptional mobile experiences.
