HiSilicon Kirin 950
Benchmarks & Specs

The HiSilicon Kirin 950 presented itself as a very interesting mobile processor at the time. It was one of the first chips based on the then-advanced Cortex-A72 architecture. This brought a significant increase in computing power. This was complemented by four energy-efficient Cortex-A53 cores, which represented a clever big.LITTLE configuration.

This allowed the processor to always deliver the appropriate performance for a wide variety of tasks. Another highlight was the production in the highly modern 16 nm process. This manufacturing process was leading at the time and enabled remarkable energy efficiency. That was particularly important for the battery life of the smartphones.

The integrated graphics unit, an ARM Mali-T880 MP4, also provided an appealing display. It mastered graphic-intensive applications and games of the time with ease. The HiSilicon Kirin 950 was therefore a crucial building block for many flagship smartphones. It set standards in its generation and offered a compelling balance of strength and efficiency.

A truly successful chip for its time.
