Kirin 9000: This is why Huawei canceled the presentation of the SoC at IFA 2020

Huawei fans were waiting for this presentation at IFA 2020, which is taking place these days in electronic form, but unfortunately this did not happen.

Ήit's time for the autumn announcements, which means that around this time we should see the Kirin 9000 chipset, which we will see in the new Mate 40.

The Chinese media they explained the why. According to these data, the management of Huawei decided to postpone the announcement of the first 5nm chip in the world based on two factors. The reluctance to once again draw attention to itself and wait for deliveries to be completed by TSMC, which works 24/7 to prepare as many Kirin 9000 as possible before the deadline set by the US authorities (14 Σεπτεμβρίου).

Remember that from the above date, companies using hardware and software from the United States are not allowed to work with Huawei, that is, the Chinese have about 10 days to fill their warehouses as much as possible with various components, including Kirin 9000. There is currently no data on how many chipsets TSMC will have time to build. Although, according to experts, this number will reach 15 million and will meet the need for it Mate 40. The nearest presentation date for Kirin 9000 can be considered the September 10, when the exhibition starts HDC 2020.

Huawei's hopes for product development and promotion are met by a problem with the production of Kirin chips by TSMC. In the near future, the replacement of TSMC does not seem feasible. And the future Kirin 9000 could be the last processor created in collaboration between the two companies. It will be interesting to see what the flagships of the family will be Huawei Mate 40.

The announcement of the smartphones is expected in September, while the leaks continue to provide information on how it will be.

All new phones will feature the chip Kirin 9000. We will also see 8/12 GB RAM and up to 512 GB of storage space.

The Huawei Mate 40 will have a 6,67-inch flat screen with a refresh rate of 90Hz. Except for the battery 4.300mAh will also have three cameras: 50MP + 20MP (wide angle sensor) + 8MP (periscope with optical zoom).

The ePro version will come equipped with a curved screen 90Hz. It will also have a battery 4600 mAh, a front camera 32MP and a set of rear cameras.
