Although Huawei Kirin 9000 chip has ushered in a huge upgrade compared with Kirin 990, it is still inferior to Qualcomm Snapdragon 888. After all, Kirin 9000 chip went on the market one quarter earlier than Snapdragon 888. The early listing of Kirin processor caused it to miss the latest CPU architecture of ARM, which was also the key to the loss of Kirin 9000 to Snapdragon 888.

You should know that both Kirin 9000 and Snapdragon 888 adopt the core combination of 1+3+4, and the very large core, namely 1 in 1+3+4, plays a decisive role in the performance of mobile phones.

The super-large core of Kirin 9000 adopts A78CPU core, and Snapdragon 888 adopts the latest X 1 core. According to the official data of ARM, the peak performance of X 1 Very Large Core is 23% higher than that of A78, which shows that the performance gap between the two chips is not a fraction of a star.

But for this gap, Huawei is also trying to make up for it. For example, in terms of technology, Kirin 9000 chose TSMC 5nm, which is higher than Samsung 5nm used by Snapdragon 888, which can effectively narrow the performance distance between the two.

What are the disadvantages of Snapdragon 888?

Judging from the current introduction, the overall disadvantage of this chip lies in the heat problem of the chip. The improvement of chip performance means the heat problem of the chip, which is also the problem of all chips.
