A chipset is quite literally the driving force behind a smartphone and that’s why it factors heavily into purchases. Earlier this month, Huawei unveiled its new flagship chipset and confirmed that it will underpin the upcoming Mate 30 smartphones. Although the phones haven’t been released yet, an unnamed smartphone has shown up on Geekbench. The listing contains benchmark scores, giving us an idea about the Kirin 990 performance. However, can Huawei’s latest and greatest silicon outpace the A13 Bionic? Let us find out.

The phone in question runs Android 10, meaning that we might be looking at either the Mate 30 or the Mate 30 Pro. However, it bears the previously unseen model number NLE-AL00 which means it might as well be another model featuring 8GB of RAM. When noticing the Kirin 990 performance, the device that was tested achieved a single-core score of 3842 and a multi-core score of 11644. While it’s a respectable score for an Android smartphone chipset, there is one thing to consider, and we’ll get to that in while, but first let us recap on the specifications.
