Huawei’s top-of-the-line next gen chipset, the Kirin 950, was supposedly benchmarked on Geekbench by someone on the Chinese microblogging site, Weibo, and passed with flying colors. It managed to get a score of 1909 and 6096 for the single core test and multi-core test respectively and bettered Samsung Exynos 7420’s score of 1486 and 4970 for the same. The Exynos 7420 is the latest chipset from Samsung and powers its latest devices like the S6, S6 Edge as well as the newly launched Note 5 and S6 Edge+.
The Kirin 950’s spec sheet was leaked last month and showed that the chip would be an octa-core processor with four Cortex-A72 cores clocked at 2.4GHz and four Cortex-A57 cores. it will also have a Mali-T880 unit with support for LPDDR4 RAM. The chipset will allegedly be produced by TSMC using its 16nm FinFET process and is expected to feature in future handsets like the Huawei Mate 8.
The upcoming Mate 7S is expected to be powered by a Kirin 940 SoC. Aside from that, the phone is also rumored to have 3GB of RAM, 13MP camera and running Android 5.1.1 out of the box with EMUI running on top. The Mate 7S might also come with Force Touch technology. Huawei are set to launch the Mate 7S at the IFA in Berlin. Huawei are also expected to launch another phone under their Honor brand called the 7i. This phone may have a Kirin 935 chipset, 3Gb of RAM and 13MP camera which may slide out of the body.
