Huawei prepares flagship mobile phone processor Kirin 720 may return

According to Internet rumors, Huawei is actively preparing a new mobile phone chip, which is predicted to become a flagship processor. However, specific details about this processor are currently unclear. According to information exposed by netizens, the processor may be named Kirin 720 (tentative name) and may use SADP multiple exposure technology. The process node is estimated to be in the range of 14nm ≈ 12nm.

Some netizens interpreted this and believed that SADP technology was used in the process from 28nm to 14nm, but there is no clear process node from 14nm to 12nm (7nm may need to use SADP technology, and N3 will be followed later. SAQP technology will be introduced). This fact is also reflected in the fact that the difficulty of making SoCs for small devices far exceeds the challenges of making large chips.

Judging from the current situation, theoretically DUV lithography machines can implement the 7nm process, but factors such as cost and yield determine that almost no manufacturers will choose such a process. Therefore, it is still uncertain whether there will be a 7nm Kirin processor.

Previous news said that Huawei may take some actions in the second half of the year, including the return of Shengteng, Kunpeng, Tiangang, Barong and other products. At the same time, Kirin flagship chip will also return, but the time may be later.

According to ITBEAR Technology Information, the performance of Ascend 920 is quite powerful, comparable to NVIDIA's H100, and through Ascend 920, we can see the basic technical route taken by the Kirin processor to return. There is still no more news about the specific performance and technical specifications of the Kirin processor.

Huawei is expected to prepare a new processor for its mobile phones, which will become a flagship-level chip. Currently, there is still uncertainty about the specific information about the processor, such as its name and manufacturing process. We will continue to pay attention and report relevant developments in a timely manner.
