perfect balance between high performance and state-of-the-art power efficiency,
even when running at full
throttle. The Kirin 980 is also the world’s
first commercial SoC to use Cortex-A76-based high performance cores. The
Cortex-A76-based cores work in concert with high efficiency Cortex-A55 cores to
deliver blazing fast performance. Meanwhile, the Mali-G76 GPU drives maximum
graphical performance for all use cases.
