Today, Huawei unveiled a new laptop that, at first glance, does not have any special features; But according to the website’s claim MyDriversThe said laptop is equipped with a dedicated 5nm processor.
Huawei’s Qingyun series enterprise laptops have been using dedicated Crane series processors for a long time. The previous model of this series, which is called L410, was equipped with a Kirin 990 chip, and apparently the new model (L540) uses a Kirin 9006C chip.
The production of a dedicated 5 nm processor in the shadow of American sanctions is a rare achievement. Huawei made a lot of noise this year with the 7nm processor of the Mate 60 phone. In response to the unveiling of the Mate 60, the United States tightened sanctions on Huawei so that the company could not make a 5nm chip.
Zomit cannot independently confirm that the Kirin 9006C is 5nm at this time. However, according to Chinese media reports, the Kirin 9006C chip is based on ARM architecture and uses four Cortex A77 cores along with four Cortex A55 cores.
One of the A77 cores has a clock speed of 3.13 GHz, and the frequency of the rest of the A77 cores reaches 2.54 GHz. In contrast, all four A55 cores have a frequency of 2.05 GHz. The new Huawei chip also uses Mali-G78 MP22 GPU.
Huawei’s new enterprise laptop, which has a 14-inch 60Hz display, a 56-watt-hour battery, a variety of ports, 8 or 16 GB of RAM, and 256 or 512 GB of storage space, comes with a base price of around $850.
It is not clear how much the price of Crane’s dedicated CPU has affected the price of the said laptop. This Huawei laptop is already available for purchase.
