Huawei’s highly anticipated next step in the tech world, the Mate 80 series, is already grabbing headlines with its mysterious Kirin 9030 chipset. Following rumors previously circulating on Weibo, a reliable source on the Chinese social media platform, promising a significant performance increase over the Kirin 9020, new information from the same source today has doubled the excitement.

According to the new leak, the Kirin 9030 will revolutionize not only pure processing power but also one of the most critical areas: power efficiency. The source claims that the new chip is “significantly better” than the Kirin 9020 in terms of power consumption, easily surpassing it in this area.

Considering that the Kirin 9020 already offers an impressive 36-40% performance increase over its predecessor, the Kirin 9030 is expected to boost both performance and efficiency simultaneously, making the Mate 80 series a true flagship.

With this new chipset, the Mate 80 is rumored to be capable of reaching the level of Qualcomm’s powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor in various areas. While we’ll have to wait for the official launch to see if these claims are true, it’s a fact that Huawei is closing the gap with each new model. Having introduced an optimized Kirin 9020 with the Pura series, the company appears determined to raise the bar once again with the Mate 80.
