On June 28, according to wccftech, citing netizens on the social media platform "X@jasonwill101 broke the news that Huawei is testing a new energy-efficient "TaiShan" small core, and the performance is significantly more than the Arm Cortex-A510 core by 175%.

Previously, the Kirin 9000S internal CPU carried by the Mate 60 series uses the self-developed TaiShan large core + TaiShan medium core + Arm Cortex-A510 energy efficiency core, it can be seen that although the large core and medium core are self-developed, the small core is still the Arm public version of Cortex-A510, and now Huawei has upgraded it to the self-developed TaiShan small core, which will undoubtedly further improve the energy efficiency of the small core, It also improves the synergy efficiency between it and TaiShan large and medium cores, and further improves its independent and controllable capabilities.

According to the leaks, the new TaiShan small core adopts a similar style to the CPU small core in Apple's A-series processors, achieving extremely low power consumption, while maintaining a single-core score of around 350 points in the GeekBench 5 test, which is 175% higher than the Cortex-A510 score of about 200 on the Kirin 9000S.

If the revelations are true, Huawei's new generation of Kirin processor CPU will fully use the self-developed TaiShan core, and even if the process technology cannot be improved, the overall performance is still expected to be further improved, and it is expected that the Mate 70 flagship series will be equipped for the first time.

In addition, due to the expiration of Intel's license to Huawei, Huawei's PC product line will face a shortage of cores, and it is rumored that Huawei is also developing Kirin PC chips based on TaiShan core, and the performance may be benchmarked against Apple's M3.

It is worth mentioning that in the context of Microsoft and Qualcomm working together to promote Windows AI PCs based on Arm architecture, Huawei may also be able to use Windows on Arm systems and self-developed Kirin PC chips to build its own AI PC products. Even if under the suppression of the United States, Microsoft cannot supply the latest Windows on Arm system, but this may prevent users who do not know how to use the cracked version, Huawei only needs to be the best compatible, and Linux can be pre-installed at the factory.

Moreover, Huawei's own full-scene pure-blooded HarmonyOS Next system has also been released, using Kirin PC chip + HarmonyOS Next to create a PC that integrates software and hardware is also a solution, although there is still a gap with the Windows PC ecosystem in the short term, but in the future, with the further prosperity of the HarmonyOS Next ecosystem, it may become the third largest PC ecology alongside Windows and MacOS.
