About a year later, the flagship product of Huawei Kirin processor was upgraded, and Kirin 960 was officially unveiled. As a competitor of Qualcomm, Samsung and MTK, the overall quality of Huawei's Kirin processor has gradually improved in recent years. With six core selling points: performance, endurance, photography, audio, communication and security, Kirin 960 shoulders the responsibility of revitalizing the "China Core" and supports the new domestic goods movement with practical actions.
Kirin 960 has continued the 16nm process and upgraded its architecture to Cortex-A73 and Mali-G71 GPUs. According to the information released by Huawei, compared with the previous generation of products, the CPU energy efficiency of Kirin 960 has increased by 15%, the graphics processor performance has increased by 180%, and the energy efficiency has increased by 20%. It is more durable in high-performance state, and can run 3D large-scale games for a longer time.
Kirin 960 took the lead in supporting the graphics standard Vulkan, which can free the CPU from the constraints on GPU performance, improve multithreading performance, and render faster, so that the performance of the Mali-G71 8-core GPU can be fully released and played. The built-in coprocessor is upgraded to the i6 version, so that the mobile phone is always on, and the power consumption of the pedometer service is reduced by 40%. At the same time, three innovative technologies, namely high-precision hardware fence, context awareness and low-power GPS, were introduced. For the increasingly popular AR game scenarios, the battery life can be doubled, and AR games can be played happily for a day.
Kirin 960 adopts Hybrid hybrid focusing technology, and intelligently selects the most appropriate focusing mode according to the photographing environment to make focusing faster and more accurate. With bionic black and white dual photography, more light and shadow details can be captured, and the color recovery is more realistic, with better detail performance. The upgraded PrimISP 2.0, with built-in HD hardware depth map processor, doubles the performance; Hardware super resolution technology to enhance the optical zoom effect; It also supports 4K hardware video anti shake.
Kirin 960 adopts the third generation self-developed intelligent audio solution Hi6403, embedded with a dedicated audio DSP, and has a strong signal processing capability. The pickup can significantly improve the call effect in noisy environments. It can bring users a more pleasant hearing experience when playing.
As an old manufacturer of communication equipment, Huawei's R&D strength is further reflected in the Kirin 960 communication module. It integrates the self-developed full mode Modem, supports four carrier convergence (4CC), the peak download rate is up to 600Mbps, the Internet access rate is faster, and the network signal is better. It supports 2G/3G/4G multi band dual card roaming, and can achieve smooth communication in more parts of the world without changing mobile phones.
Security is an important selling point of Kirin 960 this time. It is the first mobile phone chip in the world to achieve financial level security, and it has won the dual security certification of the central bank and UnionPay. This means that the mobile phone equipped with Kirin 960 has the same security level as UnionPay IC card/Udun. The concept of trusted connection is proposed for the first time, which protects the connection between people and mobile phones, and between mobile phones in various ways, so as to solve the security risks of mobile payment.
Kirin 960 is also the world's first mobile phone chip with built-in security engine (inSE). Compared with the software security scheme and other separate chip security schemes, Kirin 960's inSE scheme has higher security. To solve the problem of fake base stations and fraudulent short messages, Kirin 960 adopts the anti-counterfeiting base station technology based on the communication baseband processor, which can identify the base station at the bottom of the communication layer, refuse to communicate with the fake base station, cut off the fraudulent calls and spam short messages that the fake base station may bring from the source, and protect the user's communication connection security.
