300 yuan cheaper, Mate70 Pro premium version goes on sale: Kirin 9020 universe opens | Apple store provides exclusive base for iPhone 16e | Aipao machine

In order to control the cost/weight/squeeze space for the battery, the MagSafe/Qi2 magnet for wireless charging was cut off for the iPhone 16e.

On February 28, IT Home reported that Apple offline Apple Store provided a "exclusive" base ↑↓ for the iPhone 16e - there was also a wireless charger, but a groove was opened to jam the phone

PS: Apple The official has denied the rumor that "self-developed baseband C1 leads to no MagSafe in 16e".

MagSafe magnetic magnetic wireless charging will be available for the iPhone 12 series in 2020, but the new iPhone in 2025 will not. Cook is really a nano knife method. He suggested that the iPhone 16e be renamed as the iPhone 16 Premium Edition.

But after spraying, without magnets, the iPhone 16e battery is larger. With the energy efficiency improvement of the baseband, its endurance is almost catching up with that of the same generation of large aircraft.

The baseband manufacturing process has jumped from Samsung 4nm of Qualcomm X71M to TSMC 4nm. The RF transceiver module has jumped from Samsung 14nm to TSMC 6nm.

The official claim of 25% improvement in energy efficiency is really true.

Zhuo, far away.

Less magnets, less internal space for batteries, and lower costs. As long as Apple does not cut the wireless charging power to 7.5W, in fact, Shenzhen Bay No.1 is approved with both hands and feet (the iPhone 16e will certainly have a lot of third-party magnetic suction cases).

Like Samsung, Xiaomi and OPPO new phones, the solution of using a mobile phone case (magnets on the phone case) is a better solution. Only the streaking party will get hurt here.

On February 28, the premium version of Huawei Mate 70 Pro went on sale. It was mainly replaced by the reduced frequency version of Kirin 9020. The other configurations are the same. It is 300 yuan cheaper than the ordinary version of Mate 70 Pro, starting from 6199 yuan.

Huawei Mate 70 Pro Premium version factory pre installed Hongmeng 4.3 (Hongmeng NEXT is Hongmeng 5.0):

12+256 version 6199 yuan;
12+512 version 6699 yuan;
12+1TB version is 7699 yuan.

It has appeared on GeekBench before and is equipped with a reduced frequency version of Kirin 9020: one 2.4GHz Taishan super core (0.1G reduced, frequency difference 4%)+three 2.0Hz Taishan big cores (0.15G reduced, frequency difference 6.98%)+four 1.6GHz Taishan small cores.

Maybe this test machine is simulating Android on Hongmeng NEXT by using Zhuoyitong? Translation+masking of hyper threading, the single core performance is lost to the level of Snapdragon 7+Gen 2, and the multi-core performance is stuck to the level of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

According to official information, The standard Mate 70 Pro is 40% better than the Mate 60 Pro, while the premium Mate 70 Pro is 35% better than the Mate 60 Pro 。

Solution: 0.05 difference/1.4 of the standard version=3.57%

The official performance gap is significantly lower than the frequency gap (Kirin's large core and super core have hyper threading, and the performance ratio will be higher than that of normal chips). Maybe Hongmeng's optimized buff has been included?

But one thing to say is that Hongmeng's optimization is really exaggerated. It is estimated that normal users can hardly distinguish between them. I hope this new version will alleviate the shortage of Mate70 Pro so far.

PS：

Kirin 9020 is a 2.5GHz Taishan super core+3 2.15Hz Taishan big cores+4 1.6GHz Taishan small cores (with disordered execution), Maleoon 920 @ 840MHz (4CU 1024 ALUs).

Each super core/large core is 1MB L2, four small cores share 1MB L2, and 10MB L3+8MBSLC. The chip area has been significantly improved, and the satellite communication module has been integrated.

It was first launched by Huawei Mate 70 Pro/Pro+/RS on 24-1126. GeekBench 6.2 single core 1616/multi-core 5314 (PLA-AL10). Single core is close to Tianji 9000 and 3GHz Snapdragon 8+, and multi-core is the level of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2/8s Gen 3) 。

The CPU super core is 17% stronger than 9010 and 30% stronger than 9000S. Multi core low-frequency energy efficiency returns to Kirin 9000 level, and high-frequency energy efficiency is close to Snapdragon 8. With the help of the system Shenyou, the endurance is significantly improved compared with the Kirin 9000S model;

The GPU has increased by more than 25%, and the energy efficiency has exceeded Kirin 9000, but the growth of other camps in recent generations is too great. On GPU, Snapdragon 888<Kirin 9000S ≈ Kirin 9010<Kirin 9000<Kirin 9020

In addition, recently, the baseband Kirin SoC will have its own "small universe".

Kirin 9010 There have been Kirin 9010E/9010W and Kirin 9010L (6-core CPU).

and Kirin 9000S More exaggerated, in addition to the Kirin 9000WE on the tablet, there are:
