Key differences between Kirin 9030 and 9030 Pro revealed | Infinium-tech
Yesterday, Huawei announced its Mate 80 series devices along with the Mate X7 foldable, and all five devices are equipped with its new Kirin 9030 series chipset. We say chipset because there are two versions of the SoC – a vanilla Kirin 9030 found on the Mate 80 and some trims of the Mate 80 Pro, while the Pro version is reserved for the Mate 80 Pro (16/512GB), Mate 80 Pro Max, Mate 80 RS Ultimate, and Mate X7.
While Huawei hasn’t shared full specifications for its new chips, users on Weibo have already shared screenshots of the new Mate80 models, detailing some of the hardware differences between the two chips.

The Kirin 9030 Pro reports a 9-core CPU architecture with 14 threads. Based on the screenshots, the prime cores are clocked at 2.75GHz, the performance cores at 2.27GHz, while the efficiency cores are clocked at 1.72GHz.
The Kirin 9030 also has a 9-core CPU but with 12 threads. Its clock speed is the same as the 9030 Pro, and both chips share the same ARMv8 CPU cores and Maleon 935 GPU.
Based on rumors, the Kirin 9030 series is designed using SMIC’s N+3 node (6nm), which is the same as the Kirin 9100 chip inside the Mate 70 series. Hopefully, we will get more official information regarding the Kirin 9030 chips soon.
