Huawei recently launched their latest flagship smartphones, the Mate 60 series, featuring the Kirin 9000S chipset. This release has generated significant excitement among Huawei fans as this marks a significant comeback for Huawei’s Kirin chips, which had been absent for a few years due to the US ban. While the official specifications of the chipset remain unknown, ongoing testing efforts are gradually revealing more information about its capabilities.
According to a very renowned tech expert geekrawan on Chinese platform Bilibili the Kirin 9000S processor has hyper-threading technology. He confirmed that the chipset has 8 cores and 12 threads. This makes the Kirin 9000S industry’s first mobile phone SoC to have hyper-threading.
