Hisilicon Kirin 980 Driver -

Overview The HiSilicon Kirin 980, announced by HiSilicon (Huawei’s semiconductor subsidiary) in August 2018, represents a landmark SoC (system on chip) in mobile silicon: it was the first commercially announced mobile SoC built on TSMC’s 7 nm manufacturing node and the first to incorporate Arm’s Cortex-A76 CPU cores and Mali-G76 GPU in a mobile product. The Kirin 980 combined leading-edge process technology, heterogeneous CPU topology, advanced multi-core GPU, dedicated NPU (neural processing unit), and a broad set of integrated control and multimedia subsystems to push performance, energy efficiency, and AI capabilities in smartphones of its era.
