HiSilicon Kirin 980 vs Unisoc Tiger T606
When comparing the HiSilicon Kirin 980 and the Unisoc Tiger T606 processors, several key specifications stand out.
In terms of CPU cores and architecture, the HiSilicon Kirin 980 features an architecture that consists of 2 Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.6 GHz, another 2 Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 1.92 GHz, and 4 Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.8 GHz. On the other hand, the Unisoc Tiger T606 has 2 Cortex-A75 cores clocked at 1.6 GHz and 6 Cortex-A55 cores clocked at the same frequency.
Both processors have 8 cores, but the HiSilicon Kirin 980 offers a more diverse and powerful architecture with its combination of high-performance and power-efficient cores.
In terms of instruction set, the HiSilicon Kirin 980 utilizes the ARMv8-A instruction set, while the Unisoc Tiger T606 uses the ARMv8.2-A instruction set.
In terms of lithography, the HiSilicon Kirin 980 is manufactured using a 7 nm process, which offers better power efficiency and performance compared to a larger lithography. The Unisoc Tiger T606, on the other hand, utilizes a 12 nm process, which is still quite efficient but not as advanced as the 7 nm process.
When it comes to power consumption, the HiSilicon Kirin 980 has a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 6 Watts, while the Unisoc Tiger T606 has a TDP of 10 Watts. This suggests that the HiSilicon Kirin 980 is more power-efficient, which is favorable for mobile devices where battery life is crucial.
Finally, the HiSilicon Kirin 980 boasts the inclusion of HiSilicon Dual NPU (Neural Processing Unit), which enhances AI-related tasks and provides better performance in machine learning tasks.
Overall, the HiSilicon Kirin 980 offers a more advanced and powerful architecture with better power efficiency, supported by the use of a 7 nm process and the additional HiSilicon Dual NPU. While the Unisoc Tiger T606 is still a capable processor with its 8 cores and 12 nm process, it falls slightly behind in terms of processing power and efficiency compared to the Kirin 980.
