The Kirin 980 has been a part of our leaks for quite some time and only now have we been able to come one step closer in providing more detailed information to our readers. Just like the previous high-end Kirin SoCs, this one is going to be featuring an octa-core processor running at a high clock speed, but there is more to it that we’d like you to read about.

It has been confirmed that the Kirin 980 is going to be made using TSMC’s 7nm FinFET node, resulting in at least a 20 percent performance increase coupled with up to 40 percent power savings. The leaked info comes from ITHome, where it is detailed that the Kirin 980’s octa-core configuration will comprise up of a quad-core Cortex-A77 running at a maximum speed of 2.80GHz, while the speeds of the remaining four Cortex-A55 cores have yet to be detailed.
