Chuanlin 990 uses TSMC's second-generation 7nm process, and its performance is increased by 10%!

  Huawei's Kirin 980, which was released on IFA2018 a few months ago, won six of the world's first, and the Huawei mate 20 series mobile phone equipped with the Kirin 980 chip was also launched. The corresponding running score is also very beautiful, which proves that it is the strongest mobile at present. One of the chips.

Of course, the hardware market, whether it is mobile phone or computer, is a commonplace. The release of the new generation of chips also indicates that the next generation of chips will be put on the agenda. This is not the latest news of the Kirin 990 successor Kirin 990.

According to the industry chain, the preparations for the Kirin 990 have already begun. Currently, Huawei is cooperating with TSMC to conduct tests on the Kirin 990. It is expected to be released in the first quarter of next year. It is reported that Huawei's cost to the Kirin 990 test is expensive, and each test requires an investment of about 200 million yuan, which is called sky-high price.

It is reported that Kirin 990 will use TSMC's second-generation 7nm process, which will increase power density by 20% compared to the first-generation transistor, reduce power consumption by 10%, and improve overall performance by about 10%. In addition, the source also pointed out that the Kirin 990 architecture, like the Kirin 980, will become Huawei's first 5G chip, built-in Balong 5000 baseband.

Previously, according to Weibo users in Weibo broke the news that Kirin 990 is currently using TSMC 7nm plus EUV process design, it is expected that the first quarter of 2019 tape out. He predicted that the cost of the film will be at least 30 million US dollars, indicating Huawei's determination.

Now the news from the industry chain and the netizen broke the news. It has always been an important customer of TSMC's advanced process, and 7nm LPP is no exception. It is reported that TSMC's first 7nm plus chip using EUV technology has been finalized and is expected to enter mass production next year. It seems that the face of the Kirin 990 will slowly surface, and now it is the time of the Kirin 980, such a strong performance, the next generation of chips will bring much improvement in the end is hard to expect.
