HiSilicon Kirin 960 vs Unisoc Tiger T612
VS
The HiSilicon Kirin 960 and Unisoc Tiger T612 are both processors designed for mobile devices. Let's compare them based on their specifications.
First, let's look at the CPU cores and architecture. The HiSilicon Kirin 960 has a quad-core Cortex-A73 running at 2.4 GHz and a quad-core Cortex-A53 running at 1.8 GHz. On the other hand, the Unisoc Tiger T612 has a dual-core Cortex-A75 running at 1.8 GHz and a hexa-core Cortex-A55 running at 1.8 GHz. Both processors have 8 cores, but the Kirin 960 has a higher clock speed for the higher-performance cores.
Next, let's consider the instruction set. The Kirin 960 uses ARMv8-A instruction set, while the Tiger T612 uses the newer ARMv8.2-A instruction set. This means that the Tiger T612 supports newer features and can potentially offer better performance in certain tasks.
In terms of lithography, the Kirin 960 is built on a 16 nm process, while the Tiger T612 is built on a more advanced 12 nm process. The smaller lithography of the Tiger T612 can result in better power efficiency and potentially better overall performance.
Lastly, let's compare the thermal design power (TDP) of the two processors. The Kirin 960 has a TDP of 5 Watts, while the Tiger T612 has a TDP of 10 Watts. A lower TDP indicates better power efficiency, which can lead to longer battery life for mobile devices.
In conclusion, the HiSilicon Kirin 960 and Unisoc Tiger T612 have their own strengths and weaknesses. The Kirin 960 offers higher clock speeds for its high-performance cores and uses a slightly older instruction set, but it has a smaller lithography and lower TDP. The Tiger T612, on the other hand, has a newer instruction set, a more advanced lithography, but a higher TDP. Overall, the choice between the two processors would depend on the specific requirements and priorities of the device.
