According to a leak from a Weibo user, Huawei's chip development unit is working on a next-generation Kirin processor for PCs in addition to releasing the HiSilicon Kirin 9010 smartphone application processor. That part will feature the company's next-generation general-purpose cores and a revamped GPU. Huawei reportedly hopes the new Kirin will compete against Apple's M3 in multi-thread workloads.
Huawei's upcoming HiSilicon Kirin processor is projected to feature eight general-purpose Arm cores, including four next-generation high-performance Taishan V130 cores (the Kirin 9000s uses Taishan V120 cores) and four energy-efficient cores. The system-on-chip is expected to integrate the company's next-generation Mailiang 920 GPU with 10 clusters, bringing a vast performance uplift compared to the Kirin 9000s, which features a quad-cluster Mailiang 910 GPU.
