Kirin chip adopts 7 nm process independently developed by Huawei, and Snapdragon chip adopts TSMC's 10 nm or 7 nm process. This means that Kirin chip has higher integration and lower power consumption, thus providing higher performance and longer battery life.
Kirin chip adopts Cortex-A76 architecture developed by Huawei, and Snapdragon chip adopts Kryo architecture developed by Qualcomm. The core architecture of the two systems is different, which also leads to the difference in performance. Kirin chip is slightly higher than Snapdragon chip in single-core performance, but slightly lower than Snapdragon chip in multi-core performance.
Although both Kirin chip and Snapdragon chip are high-performance mobile processors, there are some gaps between them, including manufacturing process, core architecture and AI performance.
Similarities between the two.
Kirin chip adopts 7 nm process independently developed by Huawei, and Snapdragon chip adopts TSMC's 10 nm or 7 nm process. These processes are the most advanced at present, which can provide higher integration and lower power consumption, thus providing higher performance and longer battery life.
Kirin chip adopts Cortex-A76 architecture and Mali-G76GPU technology independently developed by Huawei, while Snapdragon chip adopts Kryo architecture and AdrenoGPU technology independently developed by Qualcomm.
