What are the differences between Kirin 9020 and Snapdragon 8 Ultimate?
What is the difference between Kirin 9020 and Snapdragon 8 Ultimate?Many friends are interested in this Kirin 9020. As the most flagship processor of Huawei series, what is the difference between it and the Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition next door?There is a certain gap in performance between Kirin 9020 and Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition, which is mainly reflected in CPU performance, GPU performance, energy efficiency and actual gaming experience. Now I will introduce it to you mainly from the gaming aspect.
The theoretical performance of Kirin 9020 has been basically clear. GB6 benchmark single-core performance is between Snapdragon 888+ and Snapdragon 7+Gen2, and multi-core performance is between Dimensity 8300 and Dimensity 9200.
In terms of AnTuTu running scores, the Kirin 9020 is around 1.25 million points, which is 30% higher than the Kirin 9010's score of around 960,000 points. Currently, based on theory, it can surpass the Snapdragon 8+.
But theory is theory and practice is practice.How is the smoothness of Kirin 9020 playing games, and how big is the gap between it and Snapdragon 8 Extreme?
Judging from Xiaobai’s evaluation test, the Huawei Mate 70 Pro equipped with Kirin 9020+1 hour gaming test (room temperature is around 25°C):

"Honor of Kings": average frame rate 119.4FPS, power consumption 3.9W, body temperature up to 41.7℃; (supports up to 120 frames + HD quality)

"Genshin Impact" database 4.5 test: average frame rate 50.9FPS, power consumption 5.6W, the highest temperature of the body is 48.4℃;

"Honkai Star Railway": average frame rate 30.8FPS, power consumption 6.1W, the highest temperature of the body is 50.4℃;


In the application response startup test, 30 applications took 188 seconds to open in two rounds; 25 of the 30 applications were kept alive in 3 hours.
From a horizontal comparison, Kirin 9020 has made great improvements in playing games compared to Kirin 9010. Whether it is frame rate, power consumption, or temperature control, there is still a big gap between it and the Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition.
Especially in high-load games such as "Genshin Impact" and "Honkai Star Railroad", the Kirin 9020 still has a lot of room for improvement from the world's first-tier level in terms of absolute frame rate, jitter rate, and temperature control.
As for the time it takes to open 30 apps, Huawei Mate 70 Pro+ and iPhone 15 Pro Max perform equally well. In the keep-alive test, compared with the performance of other Snapdragon 8 Extreme flagship phones, they are at the mid-to-lower level. I believe you will know after reading this.Finally, I wish you all a happy life!
