Let's start with Apple's A 12 chip, which is the world's first 7nm chip that can be mass-produced. This chip has 6.9 billion transistors. Compared with its predecessor A 1 1, the CPU computation of A 12 bionic chip is about 5% of that of A 1 1 Duo/KLOC-0. A 1 1 The neural engine runs 600 billion times per second, while A 12 runs 5 trillion times per second. It can be seen that the performance of A 12 is better than that of A 1 1, but the energy consumption is reduced by 40%.

Then talk about Kirin 980 processor, which is the first 7nm processor released in the world. This processor also has 6.9 billion transistors. Kirin 980 integrates dual-core NPU on the mobile phone chip, which improves the computing power of AI and also supports richer AI recognition scenarios. In terms of operation, it is about 20% higher than the previous generation Kirin 970, and the GPU is 46% higher than the previous generation.

Comparing the performance of these two chips, which are the first in the world, Apple's transistor density has increased by 1.6 times, and the number of transistors is equivalent to that of Huawei Kirin 980. As far as the intelligent neuron NPU is concerned, A 12 adopts an 8-core configuration and runs 5 trillion times per second, which also exceeds this year's Kirin processor. This shows that Huawei Kirin 980 is far from A 12.

Although Kirin 980 is not as good as A 12 processor in performance, Kirin 970 can still compete with Xiaolong 835 in previous years in performance, but now it can compete with Snapdragon 855 and A 12 in technology. It can also be seen that the Kirin processor is growing rapidly. If Huawei is given some time, it is not impossible to surpass Apple's chip technology.

Looking at the price comparison, the flagship mobile phone models of these two chip applications are Apple xs and Huawei Mate20. Although Huawei Mate20 has not yet been launched, it is impossible to exceed the price of Apple XS. Therefore, Mate 20 has an advantage in price.

A 12 chip and ios system can be said to be the last line of defense of this brand. The screen of this brand has been completely destroyed by Samsung. Finally, it can be seen that iPhone x is not as good as p20pro in taking photos, and even worse than many domestic mobile phones in terms of battery life. In terms of appearance, many brands no longer pursue the imitation of Apple's appearance. Huawei is trying to surpass, and Apple is trying to maintain. The rapid technological progress it brings will make mobile phones more advanced.
