In the SoC field, Huawei is still a catcher for the time being. It has newly released the Kirin 960 flagship processor, which is installed on its flagship model Mate 9, and is temporarily in the lead in various scoring projects. Taiwan media reported that Huawei's next-generation processor Kirin 970 will use TSMC's 10nm process for the first time.

The Kirin 970 may still maintain its current eight core architecture, but it will integrate the baseband supporting Cat.12 LTE. At present, the 960 CPU consists of four core Cortex-A73+four core Cortex-A53, and the GPU is eight core Mali-G71. However, although 960 uses TSMC's 16nm process, the GPU can not give full play to its full performance due to heating and power consumption, and switching to the 10nm process can extract more GPU performance. Qualcomm has announced that it will produce the latest flagship Snapdragon 835 based on Samsung's 10nm process and apply it to the Galaxy S8 in the first quarter of next year; MediaTek also launched the Helio X30 based on TSMC's 10nm process, which will be unveiled in the first quarter of next year; From this point of view, Huawei is still in a catch-up position.
