As we all know, prior to the release of Huawei Mate 8 last year, Huawei officially launched the Kirin 950 processor in advance at the autumn media conference. Now, this tradition seems to have continued. According to Huawei's invitation letter posted by @ioncannon on Weibo, Huawei will hold the 2016 Huawei Kirin Autumn Media Communication Conference in Shanghai on October 19. Therefore, under the premise of having the same conference name as last year, the new Kirin 960 processor will be officially debuted at this communication meeting. There should be no suspense.
Prior to this, it was reported that Huawei Mate 9 will launch the Kirin 960 processor. According to what was previously disclosed by netizens @ioncannon, the Huawei Kirin 960 processor uses a combination of the ARM Cortex-A73 architecture and the Mali-T880 MP8 GPU. Compared to the Cortex-A72 architecture adopted by the Kirin 950 in the past, the Cortex-A73 architecture of the Kirin 960 processor has achieved a theoretical peak performance and continuous performance improvement of up to 30%, while reducing energy consumption.
6 upgrades
However, the Kirin 960 processor will still use TSMC 16nm process, the highest frequency speed up to 2.8GHz, and is said to natively support CDMA networks, and integrate LTE Cat.12 baseband. In addition, although the Kirin 960 processor used the Cortex-A73 architecture for the first time, it may be somewhat disappointing that it does not include the more powerful Mali-G71 GPU.
In spite of this, due to the appearance of six small icons on the invitation letter of Kirin's autumn media conference, netizen @ioncannon speculated that it might be related to the performance upgrade brought about by the Kirin 960 processor. For example, the eye pattern may represent an upgrade of the ISP, and the shield means an increase in security performance, such as an enhanced security base station function; as for the running shoe pattern, it should imply that the processor speed is faster, and the lightning pattern seems to indicate faster charging speed. The ear pattern may be related to HiFi sound quality upgrade.
Support fast charging technology
Judging from the information currently exposed, the fast-charging technology in the six major upgrades of the Kirin 960 processor seems to have been confirmed. According to the user’s announcement on Weibo, Huawei Mate 9 will upgrade its fast charging technology to support 5V/4.5A and 22W outputs. At the same time, in order to cooperate with Huawei's Mate 9's low-voltage, fast-charge 5V/4.5A technology, Huawei will also upgrade the original data line of the aircraft. The original maximum support 2A current will be upgraded to support 5A current output.
At the same time, netizens broke the news that Huawei's Mate 9 true black technology is not a Kirin 960 processor and dual cameras, but Huawei's independent research and development of the "super fast charge" SuperCharge, it is said that the technology can be 3000 mA in 5 minutes The battery is half full. It is reported that Huawei will hold a press conference in Germany on November 3. Huawei Mate 9 will officially meet with us.
