Huawei might shock the world again as a new Kirin chip will power the P70 Art flagship model

So the chip powering the P70 and P70 Pro has a 12-core configuration made up of two high-performance CPU cores running up to 2.62GHz, six performance CPU cores with a clock speed as high as 2.15GHz, and four efficiency CPU cores clocked up to 1.53GHz. The premium P70 Art model will apparently feature a new Kirin application processor (AP) although U.S. export rules should prevent SMIC from building any silicon components using anything more advanced than a 5nm node and even achieving that might not be possible.

The AP running the P70 Art has one CPU core with a clock speed of up to 3.19GHz, three (performance?) CPU cores clocked as fast as 2.75GHz, and four (efficiency?) cores with a clock speed as fast as 2.02GHz. The P70 Art model appearing on Geekbench is a variant sporting 12GB of RAM.

According to leaker Digital Chat Station, the P70 handset will offer BeiDou’s satellite messaging feature. The P70 Pro and P70 Art will take this to the next level and include messaging and satellite calls via BeiDou’s Tiantong 1 satellite.
