Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The HiSilicon Kirin 930 was once specifically developed for use in mobile devices. This processor is characterized by its advanced octa-core architecture. It uses the proven Cortex-A53 cores. The design consistently aimed for a balanced ratio of processing power and energy efficiency. Thanks to its eight cores, it enabled smooth multitasking.

Applications could be executed simultaneously without noticeable delays. This chip was manufactured using the then-established 28-nm process. This contributed significantly to the robustness and reliability of the hardware. HiSilicon also integrated a powerful ARM Mali-T628 MP4 graphics unit.

This GPU was quite capable of smoothly displaying everyday multimedia content. Even playing many common titles was quite possible with it. The Kirin 930 formed a solid foundation for smartphones of that time. It was especially intended for daily use. Its efficient architecture supported long working hours without frequent recharging.

We were surprised at how reliably it handled its tasks. Overall, this chip offered a consistent basis for many applications of its time. It delivered a functional performance, no competition for high-performance chips.
