Igeekphone News, June 29th: Recently, there have been some rumors suggesting that the release schedule of the Huawei Mate 90 series has been accelerated and it will debut before September.
The blogger confirmed the truth and stated that the Huawei Mate 90 series will still be released in September, along with the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra, and will engage in a direct confrontation.
Based on the available information, the Mate 90 series will be equipped with the Kirin 2026 chip based on the Tao Law in its hardware. In terms of software, it will be the first to pre-install the official version of HarmonyOS 7. The full chain of software and hardware will collaborate innovatively, presenting a fully-powered Huawei flagship.
The Kirin 2026 is expected to be named Kirin 9050 Pro. It is the world’s first mass-produced mobile phone chip that adopts logic folding technology. The core logic circuits have been upgraded to a dual-layer vertical stacking architecture, replacing the traditional “geometric miniaturization” with “time miniaturization”. Without relying on more advanced lithography processes, it has achieved a leapfrog improvement in performance and energy efficiency.
According to Huawei’s previous introduction, Kirin 2026 has achieved a significant increase of 53.5% in transistor density, reaching an industry new high of 238 million transistors per square millimeter. This means that on each square millimeter of the chip area, 238 million transistors can be integrated. Theoretically, it is on par with Intel’s 18A process and close to the first generation of TSMC’s 3nm process.
Meanwhile, the P core efficiency of the chip has increased by 41%, and the maximum frequency has also risen by 12.7%, achieving a dual leap in performance and energy efficiency.
In addition, the Ark Engine of Harmony 7 is the first to incorporate a powerful performance model. Its performance has been enhanced by 15%, and when paired with the new Kirin chip, the performance of the Mate 90 series will be significantly improved.
