Kirin K9050 reportedly beats TSMC N3P-made Tensor G6 on power efficiency
pstAsiatech · x · 2026-10-03
- Citing @tphuang: Huawei downplayed Kirin chips for years after the N+2/K9000S debut, and Geekerwan wasn't even allowed to post his K9030/N+3 video last year.
- This year his team has already published two videos on the K9050, which reportedly achieves better power efficiency than the Tensor G6 built on TSMC's N3P process, fueling talk that "tau scaling" is real.
- Inference: yield and production for the K9050 and other hybrid-bonding/logic-folding chips must be quite good for Huawei to publicize this much detail.
