I have been obsessing over Kirin 9010 and I have gathered this as of now:

  1. Localization has increased. Domestic DRAM confirmed. There are multiple teardowns floating on Douyin.
  2. Kirin 9010 is a mystery. It has an 11% single core performance and 8% multi core performance boost over 9000s.
  3. The larger core is different. So 9000s had three different kinds of cores, 2 have been retained, the larger core is different.
  4. The IPC of larger core is 20% higher, so a massive boost, but single core performance is only 11% higher because clock speed has been reduced.
  5. Some rumor going around that the litho process is different. Not 5 nm but something like a more optimized 7nm.

Eagerly waiting for some good teardowns, and detailed analysis.
