HiSilicon Kirin 920
Benchmarks & Specs

The HiSilicon Kirin 920 was a remarkable mobile processor in its time. It relied on an advanced big.LITTLE architecture, combining powerful Cortex-A15 cores and energy-efficient Cortex-A7 cores. This allowed for balanced performance and good energy efficiency for everyday tasks. We were impressed at the time with how effectively this chip mastered different requirements.

Manufacturing in the 28-nm process was considered state-of-the-art at that time. This contributed significantly to its low heat generation. The optimized power consumption was also an advantage. For graphics, the HiSilicon Kirin 920 used the integrated ARM Mali-T628 MP4 GPU. This graphics unit enabled a solid multimedia and gaming experience on mobile devices.

It also handled more demanding applications smoothly. Overall, this processor provided a compelling platform for many smartphones and tablets. It showed that HiSilicon was capable of developing competitive chips. Its architecture laid the foundation for later, even more powerful models from the manufacturer.
