Huawei: mass production of Kirin 985 will begin in autumn 2019

The rumors from last month have come true. Press representatives in Tawain have now confirmed that the Huawei Mate 30 will be the first smartphone with a chipset based on the EUV process. In addition, Huaweis chip manufacturer HiSilicon will implement a 5G modem in all chips, so all future Huawei flagships will be 5G compatible. The new processor will be manufactured using FC-PoP (FlipChip Package-on-Package) technology. This enables vertical stacking of transistors. In combination with the Extreme Ultra Violet Process (EUV) mentioned above, the density of the transistors is increased by 20%, resulting in better chip performance and lower energy consumption.
