Ich hab ein huawei nova 5t und mein Mutter hat ein Zfold3 eine enthält snapdragon 888 und mein Handy natürlich ein kirin 980. Ich hab die verglichen. Natürlich ist das snapdragon 888 besser aber kirin 980 für ein 2 Jahre alte chipset ist unfassbar gut Leistung ist deutlich schlechter, aber gaming ist es topp

General info

Supports 64-bit
Huawei Kirin 980
Samsung Exynos 9611
A 32-bit operating system can only support up to 4GB of RAM. 64-bit allows more than 4GB, giving increased performance. It also allows you to run 64-bit apps.
Has integrated graphics
Huawei Kirin 980
Samsung Exynos 9611
With integrated graphics you don’t need to buy a separate graphics card.
Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.
The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.
DirectX is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
has 5G support
Huawei Kirin 980
Samsung Exynos 9611
The fifth-generation wireless technology delivers higher speeds and lower latency than the previous, fourth-generation tech.
GPU turbo

720MHz

850MHz

When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
OpenGL ES is used for games on mobile devices such as smartphones. Newer versions support better graphics.
Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.

Performance

CPU speed

2 x 2.6GHz & 2 x 1.92GHz & 4 x 1.8GHz

4 x 2.3GHz & 4 x 1.7GHz

The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.
Uses big.LITTLE technology
Huawei Kirin 980
Samsung Exynos 9611
Using big.LITTLE technology, a chip can switch between two sets of processor cores to maximize performance and battery life. For example, when playing a game the more powerful cores will be used to increase performance, whereas checking email will use the less powerful cores to maximize battery life.
Uses HMP
Huawei Kirin 980
Samsung Exynos 9611
Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP) is a more advanced version of big.LITTLE technology. In this setup, a processor can utilize all cores at the same time, or just a single core for low-intensity tasks. This can provide powerful performance or increased battery life respectively.

The system on a chip (SoC) has an integrated LTE cellular chip. LTE is capable of downloading at faster speeds than older, 3G technology.
download speed

1400MBits/s

600MBits/s

The download speed is a measurement of the internet connection bandwidth, representing the maximum data transfer rate at which a device can access online content.
upload speed

200MBits/s

150MBits/s

The upload speed is a measurement of the internet connection bandwidth, representing the maximum data transfer rate at which a device can send information to a server or another device.
Has TrustZone
Huawei Kirin 980
Samsung Exynos 9611 (ARM Cortex-A53)
A technology integrated into the processor to secure the device for use with features such as mobile payments and streaming video using digital rights management (DRM).
uses multithreading
Huawei Kirin 980
Samsung Exynos 9611
Multithreading technology (such as Intel's Hyperthreading or AMD's Simultaneous Multithreading) provides increased performance by splitting each of the processor's physical cores into virtual cores, also known as threads. This way, each core can run two instruction streams at once.
Has NX bit
Huawei Kirin 980
Samsung Exynos 9611 (ARM Cortex-A53)
NX bit helps protect the computer from malicious attacks.
