HiSilicon Kirin 710 Benchmark, Test and specs

The HiSilicon Kirin 710 has 8 CPU cores and can calculate 8 threads in parallel. The clock frequency of the A-Core is 2.2 GHz. The number of CPU cores greatly affects the speed of the processor and is an important performance indicator. Processors with hybrid (big.LITTLE) architecture strike a balance between performance and power efficiency, making them ideal for mobile devices.

The HiSilicon Kirin 710 has integrated graphics, called iGPU for short. Specifically, the HiSilicon Kirin 710 uses the ARM Mali-G51 MP4, which has 128 texture shaders and 8 execution units. The iGPU uses the system's main memory as graphics memory and sits on the processor's die.

A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.

The processor has a thermal design power (TDP) of 5 W watts. TDP indicates the cooling solution needed to effectively manage the processor's heat. It generally provides an approximate indication of the actual power consumption of the CPU itself.

The HiSilicon Kirin 710 is manufactured using a 12 nm process. A smaller manufacturing process indicates a more contemporary and energy-efficient CPU. In total, this processor boasts a generous 1.0 MB cache. A substantial cache can significantly enhance the processor's performance, particularly in scenarios like gaming.
