Unfortunately, Apple got the better of its rival by launching its 2018 iPhone lineup much earlier, and these devices also feature TSMC’s 7nm FinFET SoC. However, that might not deter the confidence of Huawei, as the Chinese giant believes that the Kirin 980 is powerful enough to outpace the A12 Bionic. > According to Huawei, the company has been working on its Kirin 980 for over three years and its chipset manufacturer division, HiSilicon has been focusing on three categories, power and efficiency, intelligence and connectivity. Just like the A12 Bionic, the Kirin 980 features a total of 6.9 billion transistors. However, when compared against the previous generation SoC, which Huawei reportedly has not taken the name of, the Kirin 980 is able to display 75 percent better processing performance, as well as 46 percent faster GPU performance.
