While ARM hasn’t announced the Cortex-A77 architecture, yet, it is expected to announce the launch of the new A77 cores, during IFA 2018. As of now, the ARM Cortex architecture maxes out at A76 cores.
The SOC will come with twice the number of graphics cores than the outgoing Kirin 970 chipset, with 24 GPU cores on the Mali-G72 MP24 GPU found on the Kirin 980. The SOC also supports dual channel LPDDR4X RAM.
The chipset is said to support Bluetooth 5.0 standards, with Dual-band 802.11 ac Wi-Fi. Huawei has always stressed on the integrated NPU on Kirin 970 chipset. The yet-to-be-announced chipset, Kirin 980, too is supposed to come with NPU M1 Neural Processing Unit with promise performance up to 8 TOPs. The cameras will be able to utilize the Triple ISP used in the upcoming SOC.
