Huawei can continue to cause a stir when it launches the P70 Art

Huawei is expected to launch its flagship P70 series focusing on photography on April 2, which could make the world pay attention.

The P70, P70 Pro and P70 Art models have now been benchmarked by Geekbench, while one product that is yet to appear is the P70 Pro+. According to the results posted here, the P70 (model number ALT-AL10) has a single-core score of 1243 and a multi-core score of 3840. The P70 Pro (ALN-A80) scored 1348 and 4114 for single-core and multi-core scores, respectively. The P70 Art (MNA-AL00) achieved a single-core score of 1784 and a multi-core score of 4589.

The benchmark results are said to be of the Huawei P70 Art.

Benchmark tests have shed light on some controversial SoCs manufactured by SMIC using a 7nm manufacturing process. Both the P70 and P70 Pro are equipped with this chip, the same chip that Huawei surprised the world with when it introduced the Mate 60 series last year. US government restrictions are said to prevent Huawei from obtaining 5G-enabled chips, and the Kirin 9000 chips bypassed that restriction, causing US lawmakers to investigate how SMIC, China's largest foundry, Quoc, how to produce SoC.

Thus, the chip that powers the P70 and P70 Pro has a 12-core configuration, including 2 high-performance CPU cores running at up to 2.62 GHz, 6 mid-range CPU cores running at speeds up to 2.15 GHz and 4 energy-efficient CPU cores running at up to 1.53 GHz.

Huawei P70 Art is a testament to the efforts of Huawei and SMIC.

Most notable will be the high-end P70 Art model that comes with a new application processor (AP), apparently manufactured on a 5nm process, although US export regulations prevent SMIC from making any components. Which silicon will use high-end chips of 5nm or less? Specifically, the P70 Art's AP comes with 1 CPU core clocked at up to 3.19 GHz, 3 CPU cores clocked at 2.75 GHz and 4 cores clocked at 2.02 GHz. As noted on Geekbench, the P70 Art model appears to be a variant with 12 GB RAM. If true, this will be a chip that can surprise the world.

According to the Digital Chat Station leak, the P70 phone will offer BeiDou's satellite messaging feature. The P70 Pro and P70 Art take this to the next level and include satellite voice calling and messaging via BeiDou's Tiantong 1 satellite.
