Huawei Mate 20 Pro with Kirin 980 Benchmark Results

Huawei’s launch of the Mate 20 series also introduced the new HiSilicon Kirin 980 chipset, using the world’s first 7nm process. The processors are composed of 2 x Cortex A76 running at 2.6GHz, another 2 x Cortex A76 at 1.92GHz and a quad-core Cortex A55 1.8GHz for power efficiency.

So we ran the new Mate 20 Pro thru several of our standard benchmarks and this is what we got:

The Mate 20 Pro’s Antutu score tops at 273,233 which is among the highest we’ve seen. This is about 33% higher than the score of the Kirin 970 in the Huawei P20 Pro.

For PCMark, we saw a significant increase in benchmark scores as well. It’s perhaps in AndroBench were the scores of the internal storage are the same as the old ones in the P20 Pro so we reckon it might be just the same parts used.

We also saw a huge jump in performance scores using GeekBench 4.2, going as high as 9,831 for the multi-core score.

Antutu Benchmark: 273,233
PCMark: 10,169 (Work 1.0), 7,645 (Work 2.0)
3DMark: 3,507 (Sling Shot Extreme, Open GL 3.1), 4,203 (Sling Shot Extreme, Vulcan)
GeekBench 4: 3,295 (Single Core), 9,831 (Multi-Core)
AndroBench: 824MB/s (Read), 194MB/s (Write)
