Huawei Mate 20 Appears on Geekbench With Kirin 980 SoC, 4GB RAM
The Huawei Mate 20 HMA-L29 variant has appeared on Geekbench running on the Android 9 Pie operating system. As confirmed by Huawei, the Mate 20 runs on the same Kirin 980 7nm processor as the Mate 20 Pro. In the memory department, however, the Mate 20 caught on Geekbench packs 4GB of RAM as opposed to 6GB of RAM on the Mate 20 Pro.
In terms of performance, the Mate 20 managed to score 3,037 points in the single-core test and 9,724 points in the multi-core test. The Mate 20 Pro, for reference, had scored 3,390 points in the single-core test and 10,318 points in the multi-core test. While not as impressive as the scores achieved by the Mate 20 Pro, the Mate 20 still managed to outperform other 2018 Android flagship smartphones by a significant margin on Geekbench. However, the Kirin 980 isn’t quite as fast as the Apple A12 Bionic chipset. Apple’s latest and greatest mobile chipset manages to achieve a higher score in both the single-core and multi-core tests.
