In recent weeks we have told you that greater control over the production process of the terminals is one of the tactics that the largest firms are using. This can be exemplified in the fact that brands such as Samsung or Huawei have been creating their own processors for some time, reaching, in the case of the south korean, to obtain a significant income from the creation of these components.
These chips become, in some cases, one of the hallmarks of the technologies themselves, which means that their designers invest a great amount of time and resources in perfecting them to try to offer greater power in the terminals in which they are installed. . A few hours ago we were able to learn more about the Kirin 970, the last thing that would arrive from Shenzhen and we will tell you about its main characteristics below.
The most outstanding
According to GSMArena After collecting some data from networks such as Weibo, this processor would be composed of 8 nuclei and built in an architecture of 10 nanometers. It is assumed that the maximum frequency that one of the groups of 4 cores would reach would be 2,8 GHz. This can also give a clue to what type of terminals it would be directed to. Another of its strengths would come from the image side, since it would be prepared, according to the Chinese portal, to support cameras whose resolutions will add 42 Mpx.
Huawei's next devices, testing ground for Kirin
The family of processors has already become inseparable from the terminals launched by the Chinese brand both in the field of conventional smartphones, as in phablet support and in the larger ones. It is believed that the Kirin 970 could see the light in the third quarter of this year, specifically in October, and that one of the first terminals to incorporate it would be the Mate 10, which has also been taken for granted that it will have a diagonal of 6,1 inches.

Is the battle of the processors stoked?
Yesterday we mentioned that in recent times, many brands are launching to create their own components. If to this the bets of firms already consolidated in the field such as Qualcomm or MediatekEverything points to the fact that the final stretch of 2017 will be characterized by a context in which we will find very powerful chips that could see the light of day in some of the great technological events that are yet to be held. Do you think there is still work to be done in this regard?
