Huawei was anticipated to debut a new Kirin chipset later this year when it unveiled its P70 flagship series. While this may still be true, the business may use a portion of its Kirin 9000S supply for a single model, which may not appeal to everyone.
Huawei Rumored To Re-use Kirin 9000S Chipset From Mate 60 For P70 Series
To refresh your recollection, Huawei is expected to release the P70, P70 Pro, and P70 Art as part of its initial flagship series launch, followed by the Mate 70 family. Not all P70 models will include the new Kirin 9010 because, according to Weibo user Smart Pikachu, the Kirin 9000S is still being tested for the base model.
Customers who have already purchased any of the Mate 60 models will be less inclined to purchase the ordinary P70 this year, thus they will most likely focus on the higher-end versions. The tipster has not explained why Huawei made this decision, however it could be due to the Kirin 9010's restricted supply.
Huawei Faces Kirin 9010 Supply Challenges, May Rely on 9000S for P70 Series Amid SMIC Constraints
As most of you are aware, the erstwhile Chinese behemoth relies on SMIC, China's largest semiconductor manufacturing company, to provide it with a consistent supply of Kirin 9000S shipments manufactured on the 7nm process, as per WCCFTech. Unfortunately, SMIC manufactures these chips using older-generation DUV technology, which makes the process extremely time-consuming and expensive while also delivering poorer yields.
Fewer “clean” wafers on 7nm DUV lithography may be the cause for Huawei's limited supply of Kirin 9010 SoCs for the P70 Pro and P70 Art, leaving the firm with little alternative but to use the Kirin 9000S for the basic P70. Depending on how competitively Huawei prices the base model, there may be a silver lining in all of this.
After all, the Kirin 9000S should be less expensive to produce than the Kirin 9010, which might benefit the company as it aspires to ship 100 million smartphones by 2024.
