Huawei is very present at IFA 2017, which is being held in Berlin these days and tomorrow will appear on the scene for the first time, and we fear it will not be the last, to officially present the new processor Kirin 970. This new chip will be announced neither more nor less than by Richard Yun, CEO of the Chinese manufacturer.
At the moment we do not know too many details of this new Kirin 970, but apparently in the advertising posters that have been placed in the German city, we will be before the first processor for mobile devices with an Artificial Intelligence unitwhat is the same with a neural network processing unit.
Thanks to this unit, it will offer performance 25 times greater for artificial intelligence workloads than any other, automatic image recognition or voice interaction tasks can be carried out. Perhaps this processor, together with the AI unit, are the great news that we can see in the next Huawei terminals.
In terms of technical aspects, this Kirin 970 will have a Eight-core CPU, one 12-core GPU, dual ISP, and one LTE Cat. 18 modem. In addition, according to rumors, it seems that it will have four Cortex-A73 cores at 2.4GHz and four Cortex-A53 cores at 1.8GHz, although we will have to wait for tomorrow to confirm it.
What there is no doubt is that this Kirin 970 will be one of the best processors on the market and that the mobile devices that incorporate it inside will undoubtedly be the most powerful that we can find.
Do you think Huawei will announce the new Kirin 970 along with some flashy mobile device?.
