Kirin 9000S is equivalent to the Snapdragon 865, GPU is equivalent to 888. Only mobile chip to support multi-threading, probably because it's a modified server chip.

Really impressive. It's faster than the Google Tensor G2 when power consumption is equalized. Tensor sucks but still the best that Google has to offer despite having no sanctions to deal with.

This is way better than the earlier domestic produced Chinese silicon I've seen (full sized desktop GPUs). The domestic GPUs seemed really bad so this a huge leap in the last 6 months. The GPU in this phone is probably better than the full size GPU I saw lol.

On a side note I want to know how well China's AI chips are doing. Nvidia seems to have an impossible lead right now over AMD, AI model training seems like a huge priority for national security and tech so it would be very interesting to see how they're doing compared to consumer chips.

Huawei's Ascend AI processors are actually quite good. They were arguably world leading before the sanctions. There are lots of others but so far they are a big mediocre group without real standouts.
