Huawei says that the Mate 10 will be faster than Samsung and Apple

[dpham00]

This is a pretty bold statement from Huawei. Let's hope that the Mate 10 lives up to what they are promising.

“Compared with Samsung and Apple, we have advantages,” Yu said in an interview during the annual IFA consumer electronics fair in Berlin. “Users are in for much faster (feature) performance, longer battery life and more compact design.”

The company asserts its newly announced Kirin 970 chip will preserve battery life on phones by up to 50 percent.

Huawei describes the new chip as the first Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for smartphones. It brings together classic computing, graphics, image and digital signal processing power that have typically required separate chips, taking up more space and slowing interaction between features within phones.

Being faster than Samsung isn't a challenge. it's being faster than Apple that is. But didn't Apple limited it's cpu power down a lil bit so the users aren't using the full muscles of the chip?

Gsm just posted some benchmark comparisons. Looks like apple is still on top...for now.

Speed test of the Note 8 vs iPhone 8 Plus show that the note 8 is faster overall and keep apps in memory better. Although, this could be an issue with ios 11.

Doesn't really matter...this is what they decided to put out as a final product. And they designed the cpu so they have full control over this.
