Although Anthare will have "official information", the benchmark test still depends on several old tools such as GeekBench and GFXBench. On October 20, it was reported that the new machine "NOH-NX9" of Huawei Mate 40 appeared again in the GeekBench database, but this time it was in the OpenCL database about GPU graphics performance.

Latest Mate 40 Pro exposure

The OpenCL database shows that the GPU of NOH-NX9 (most likely one of the Mate40 series) is the latest public GPU architecture of ARM, Mali-G78, with up to 24 computing units. In other words, this is the strongest form of G78 - G78 MC24.

Mali-G78 is the flagship GPU architecture released by ARM in May this year, directly increasing the number of cores from 16 to 24 of the previous generation G77. As a reference, the largest number of cores in G77 products is Exynos 990, G77 MC11@800MHz (The number behind MC represents the core number), MediaTek Tianji 1000+uses G77 MC9, while Kirin 985 5G uses G77 MC8.

ARM officially announced that the G78 will be 25% higher than the G77 due to the combination of architecture and process factors. Although the GPU computing unit of the G78, Kirin 9000, is three times that of Kirin 985 5G, the actual increase in graphics performance cannot be estimated because of the unknown frequency. However, I am afraid that doubling the performance is inevitable.

We took Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G (GPU is a next-generation G76 MP16 with 16 cores) as a comparison. Compared with the previous generation's 4824 points, Kirin 9000 scored 6430, and OpenCL test improved by 33%. Of course, GeekBench is a CPU scoring tool, and OpenCL's score is good for entertainment (Snapdragon 865's test score in this project is generally 4600). To see the GPU graphics performance, you have to wait for the GFXBench data.

In theory, the stacking of GPUs can reduce the frequency of a single GPU core to improve the energy consumption ratio, but the MC24 is still large. At the same time, the graphics performance output is very impressive. If the G78 MC24, the most powerful form of Kirin 9000, can hold down the power consumption, it would be better to cheer for 5nm.

Summarize the previous information. The CPU part of the Kirin 9000 is a 1+3+4 structure, with one 3.13GHz A77 core, three 2.54GHz A77 cores, four 2.04GHz A55 cores, and LPDDR5 memory+UFS 3.1 flash memory. Compared with the previous generation Kirin 990 5G, the single core performance is improved by 26% and the multi-core performance is improved by 27%. In addition, the screen is 2772 × 1334 resolution+90Hz refresh rate.
