Apple a11 processor and Haisi Kirin 970 performance points and parameters comparison

The A11 processor is a processor chip independently developed by Apple. It adopts a 6-core design and consists of two high-performance cores code-named Monsoon and four low-power cores code-named Mistral.

A11 bionic processor. Compared to the previous generation A10 Fusion, the performance core of the A11 has increased by 25% and the energy efficiency core has increased by 70%. And this A11 processor allows two performance cores and four energy efficient cores to work simultaneously. The power of the A11 directly made the multi-core running on Geekbench more than 10,000 points.

The Kirin 970 chip is a new generation of chips from Huawei's 10nm process, which is the world's first smartphone AI computing platform with built-in independent NPU (Neural Network Unit).

Huawei's new chip, the Kirin 970, provides faster processing speed and lower power consumption for the flagship Mate 10 and other high-end phones.

On September 2, 2017, at the 2017 International Consumer Electronics Show in Berlin, Germany, Huawei released the artificial intelligence chip Kirin 970. The first Huawei mobile phone Mate 10 with Kirin 970 was officially released on October 16, 2017 in Munich, Germany.

Apple's autumn conference, Apple brought us a series of new products such as iPhone X. However, on the iPhone X, I did not expect that the most "dominant" part is actually the Apple A11 Bionic chip, rather than a new design such as "full screen" or a new feature such as "face recognition."

Apple's A11 chip as Apple's flagship chip this year, the performance is so powerful. However, the Apple A11 is not without rivals. The Huawei Kirin 970 chip is a strong opponent of Apple.

The Kirin 970 chip is Huawei's flagship chip released in September. It is rumored that Huawei's flagship Mate 10 series will be the first chip.

As a self-developed chip, Kirin 970 is well-deserved "the strongest in China." Then, what kind of spark will the “best domestically produced” encounter “the strongest in the world”? How big is the gap between the Kirin 970 chip and the Apple A11 chip, or where is the Kirin 970 better than the A11? Do you want to know?

Powerful computing performance, A11 is hard to beat

After the official release of the iPhone 8 series, we finally know how strong the performance of the Apple A11 chip is.

From the running score data given by GeekBench 4, it is not too much to describe A11 with a small list of mountains. A11's single-core score reached 4,200 points, multi-core scores reached 10,000 points, in the running points is the invincible existence of the entire mobile processor market.

The Apple A11 Bionic chip uses a 2+4 core architecture, two high-performance cores and four high-performance cores. According to different computing tasks, the A11 chip will automatically switch between different cores. These six cores are the key to the high performance of the A11 chip, and the reasonable deployment can also control the energy efficiency ratio of the hand to the best level.

On this side, the running scores of Kirin 970 have not been announced. However, the CPU part of the Kirin 970 has not been upgraded compared to the Kirin 960. It is still an eight-core architecture with four A73 big cores and four A53 small cores. From the performance of the Kirin 960 chip last year, the running score should be 1900 points for single-core scores and 6200 points for multi-core scores.

(Kirin 960 running scores)

However, since the platform for the Apple A11 is iOS and the Kirin 970 is Android, the difference between the scores is not equal to the difference between the two. In other words, the performance of the A11 and Kirin 970 chips cannot be directly compared.

However, GeekBench 4 is a cross-platform running software. Therefore, the A11 that dominates the running score can basically be considered to be better than the Kirin 970, but the gap may not be as large as the number.

GPU performance: Apple's self-developed GPU should not be underestimated

Another highlight of the Apple A11 chip is the first use of Apple's self-developed three-core GPU. However, Apple did not announce the specific model of the GPU, but according to the test, the performance has reached the level of A9X, and the graphics performance is terrible.

(GPU running scores)

The Kirin 970 is the first to launch the Mali-G72 MP12 GPU, but there is no exact running data.

But from last year's Kirin 960's G71 MP8 score (Antu Bunny 3D single item 52690 points, GFXBench Manhattan 1080P off screen 24fps), G72 MP12 performance will not exceed the 8905 G71 MP20 too much, it is very likely to remain at 30- 35fps.

At present, the data on these two GPUs are very rare, and we have no way of knowing which one is stronger and stronger. As for Apple, the performance of iOS devices has always been impeccable. In addition to the iOS peer-to-peer optimization, there is another reason for the powerful GPU performance in Apple SoC.

Based on past experience, Xiaolei guessed that the GPU performance of the A11 processor is still stronger than that of the Kirin 970. Of course, the specific performance is still subject to the real prototype, and we will remain concerned.

ISP: Each magical power

Both Apple and Huawei have focused on the ISP integrated in the chip. The ISPs of these two SoCs are unique and unique.

On the Apple A11 side, the ISP that is taken for granted is also developed by itself. This ISP allows the iPhone 8 Series and iPhone X to have a better camera experience in low light. Improving the performance of low-light photos has always been the direction of continuous improvement of mobile phone manufacturers, and Apple has naturally worked hard.

From the latest DXOMark score, it can be seen that Apple's hard work has paid off. The iPhone 8 Plus took a high score of 94 and surpassed all of Apple's opponents. And after Xiaolei (WeChat: leitech) measured, the iPhone 8 Plus's low-light photo performance has indeed changed dramatically.

Kirin 970 is not to be outdone, indicating that the integrated ISP in the chip is also developed by Huawei itself, and has enhanced the focus, viewfinder fluency, low-light imaging and many other aspects, so that the future Huawei mobile phone camera experience will be further improved.

Apple has used the facts to prove the power of the new ISP on the A11, but Huawei has no such opportunity. We certainly expect Huawei Mate 10 to prove to us with proofs that the dual ISP on Kirin 970 is equally powerful.

Artificial intelligence: needle tip to wheat

The biggest highlight of the Kirin 970 processor is the NPU artificial intelligence processing chip.

Although this is not the first time a mobile phone processor (SoC) is equipped with a similar AI chip, the performance of the Kirin 970's NPU is really impressive.

(picture recognition speed)

Huawei claims that due to the powerful performance of the NPU, the Kirin 970 has about 25 times performance and 50 times energy efficiency when dealing with the same AI application tasks. For example, the image recognition speed can reach about 2005 sheets per minute.

In Xiaolei's view, the NPU on the Kirin 970 is like a "turbine" in a car. The main role is to act as a booster for the SoC. The NPU can greatly enhance the computing speed of the mobile phone processor in certain scenarios, such as the image recognition mentioned above.

A11 also shows no weakness. The Bionic in the name is the independent artificial intelligence chip in the processor - the neural network engine.

The AI ​​chip, which is called "bionic", is designed to work with the new face recognition (face ID) function on the iPhone X to make the face ID more accurate and intelligent, and greatly optimize the user experience of the face ID.

It can be seen that Apple's idea of ​​using artificial intelligence is not the same as that of Huawei. Apple's artificial intelligence chip will only be responsible for the optimization of a particular function, rather than treating the NPU as a catalyst, like Huawei, to fully enhance the performance of the mobile processor.

Of course, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The A11 AI chip can make a certain function of the mobile phone get a leap performance improvement. For example, facial recognition performance and success rate, safety and other aspects of the iPhone X are the best in the world. This is the result of targeted optimization using the AI ​​chip.

Although Huawei NPU is not optimized for certain functions, it can improve the performance of the mobile phone processor in a holistic manner, so that the Kirin 970 can achieve a higher level of performance based on the core architecture.

Signal baseband: Huawei leads one

Huawei is indeed very radical this time in the support of the network baseband. The Kirin 970 first launched the 4.5G LTE baseband with a download speed of 1.2Gbps. Even the Qualcomm, which is the most advanced network baseband, failed to use the Cat.18 network baseband in this year's Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, and Huawei did.

But Apple did not mention what the baseband of the A11 chip is. However, there was news before that the A11 used the baseband provided by Intel, and also said that the production progress of the A11 chip was dragged down by Intel's baseband.

Currently available for inquiry, the Apple A11 should use the Intel XMM 7480 baseband. However, it can only support 450Mbps speed, which is far from the Qualcomm X12/X20, not to mention Huawei's baseband.

It can be seen that the biggest short board of the A11 chip may be on the baseband. In contrast to this baseband, there is no doubt that Huawei, which has years of experience in network communication, will outperform Apple.

Dragon fight

In comparison with the Apple A11 Bionic chip, we can see that in addition to the baseband of the advantage project, the performance of the Kirin 970 is still worse than the A11. But this gap is not only the gap between Kirin and Apple, but also the gap between the entire Android camp and Apple A series chips.

It is not a big problem to have a gap. What we have to do is face the gap and catch up, so that we can catch up with the future and even surpass our opponents.

Centrifugal fans

EQM series motors are designed with advanced electronic control technology, make the motor efficiency greatly increased,the external structure design of EQM series motors will maintain the similar external structure design as YZF series motors,motor accessories such as fan blades, rings or grids.brackets for EQM motors are the same as YZF series`. therefore EQM series motors can completely replace the YZF series motors without any other changes.Comparing with YZF series motors, EQM motors display an obvious advantage in energy saving. saving up to 70%.It can greatly reduce the electricity cost for motor operation and carbon dioxide emissions Not only that.due to the heating of EQM series motors themselves are very low.it would lead to the entire
