Huawei's new flagship processor exposed: named Kirin 9010, using 3nm process

        Huawei's next-generation Kirin flagship processor may not be far away. Recently, a netizen revealed that Huawei's next-generation processor will be named Kirin 9010 and will use the advanced 3nm process. The blogger did not reveal more information about Kirin 9010, but based on his previous information, the credibility is still very high.

　　Last October, Huawei released the long-awaited Kirin 9000 processor, which is also the world's first 5G mobile phone SoC using a 5nm process. Subsequently, Samsung Exynos 1080 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, also using a 5nm process, were released.

　　Earlier news pointed out that due to various reasons, Huawei will stick to the 5nm process for at least the next two years. If the news is correct, its 3nm chip may be launched this year and even installed in the next-generation flagship model Mate 50 series.

　　Of course, if Huawei really starts using 3nm process for mobile phone SoCs, other manufacturers will probably follow suit.

　　Previous reports indicated that Qualcomm will launch an enhanced version of Snapdragon 888, Snapdragon 888 Plus, in the second half of this year, but it is not clear what specific manufacturing process it will use.

　　Samsung has already started to take action. It is reported that Samsung will skip the 4nm advanced process that it originally planned to invest in and turn to the mass production of the 3nm process. Although this decision may eventually cause its domain to lose a large number of customer orders, if it succeeds, the development of other technologies will receive more resource support.
