TSMC’s original plan is to mass produce 5nm chips during the second half of 2020 and as we’ve known before, it’s most lucrative customers will be Apple and Huawei. Huawei is set to unveil its first 5nm mobile SoC, tentatively known as the Kirin 1020. According to a new report, the Kirin 1020 could boast up to a 50 percent performance increase over the previous-generation Kirin 990, and that will be a welcome sight, especially with the rumored Snapdragon 875 slated to arrive at the end of the year.

According to a report from MyDrivers, Huawei’s HiSilicon division will mass produce not one, but two 5nm SoCs this year, but specific information wasn’t provided. What we do know is that the Chinese giant is prepping the Kirin 1020 for its upcoming Mate 40 lineup. The P40 family is expected to be treated to last year’s Kirin 990 and though we feel that’s actually a step backward, we have high hopes from the upcoming Kirin 1020.
