New details have emerged about Huawei’s desktop processor Kirin X90. This processor is expected to play a critical role in the company’s move to port the HarmonyOS operating system to the PC platform.
Huawei is here with the Kirin X90 processor
According to the leaked information, Kirin X90 will have a total of 10 cores. These cores are divided into three groups as “4 + 4 + 2” and can run 20 threads simultaneously thanks to Hyper-Threading support.

It is suggested that the processor was developed under the code name “Charlotte Pro” and may be a desktop-adapted version of Kirin 9010, which was introduced earlier this year. On the graphics side, it is claimed that Kirin X90 will be supported by a more powerful Maleoon 920 GPU.
Although official performance data has not been shared yet, leaks show that this processor is designed for versatile usage scenarios. Another striking feature of the Kirin X90 is that it offers hardware support for China’s local cryptography standards, the SM3 and SM4 algorithms.
This hardware reveals that Huawei focuses on local solutions not only on the software side but also on the processor architecture. In this way, the company aims to maintain control, especially in data security.
The processor is planned to be used in the first laptop with the HarmonyOS operating system, which is expected to be introduced at the end of the year. Thus, Huawei will offer an integrated solution in the PC market on both the operating system and the processor side.
