The Kirin 9000S that was used in the Pura 70 phones used HiSilicon designed CPU and GPU. However, the 9100 is going back to ARM, at least partially.
A week ago, a leak showed the camera island design for the upcoming Huawei Mate 70 series. The new models are expected to feature a new Kirin chipset and now we have our first glimpse of it.
Dubbed the Kirin 9100, this chip will be manufactured on a 6nm node (SMIC N+3). That’s a step up from the 7nm Kirin 9000S chips that were used in the Mate 60 series, but still behind the semiconductor nodes that other chipset designers have access to.
Telegram user @spektykles posted this image showing the hardware makeup of the new chip, which is code named “HiSilicon Baltimore”.
