When it comes to smartphone chipset dominance, the two biggest contenders have always been Qualcomm's Snapdragon and Apple's A series of chips. The competition between these two have been strong, each striving to make Apple or Android devices faster.

However, right now, it appears that a new chip is about to break that duopoly.

Huawei's Kirin 980, which the company has confirmed will power the Mate 20, is one powerful chipset that is set to shake the market.

Ahead of the IFA in Berlin, the Chinese phone giant has unveiled details about the Kirin 980 chipset. The company revealed that this chipset will power its next line of flagships.

The Kirin 980 chipset enjoys many firsts:

> It is the first smartphone built with a 7-nanometer process.

> It is the first SoC to support the ultra-fast 2,133MHz LPDDR4X memory.

> It is the first smartphone chip to feature ARM's Cortex-A76 CPU as well as its new Mali-G76 GPU.

Of course, all these firsts might not really make much sense to the average consumer. What users want is performance, and Huawei has promised improved performance with the Kirin 980. The company revealed that this new chipset offers about 75% better performance than the last generation. It promises a 58% improvement in power efficiency.

Huawei showed a lot of charts which show the Kirin 980 to be significantly faster than Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 chip but did not give permission to share. The chip offers faster app launch times than Snapdragon 845. It also offers significantly faster image recognition, as well as better real-time processing for video.
