Leaked Huawei Kirin X90 Specifications: 10-Core CPU with 20-Thread Hyperthreading, Advanced Security Features & Launch Month Insights

The future of Huawei’s HarmonyOS PC platform is set to be further enhanced with the introduction of the Kirin X90 chipset, the company’s first proprietary System-on-Chip (SoC), designed explicitly to operate with this new operating system. A recent leak revealed some initial details about the Kirin X90, notably its specification hints, including a robust 10-core central processing unit (CPU) that supports multiple security algorithms.

Configuration Details of the Kirin X90 CPU

The Kirin X90 will feature a unique CPU cluster arrangement identified as ‘4 + 4 + 2′.This information comes from sources, including the notable Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, who has indicated that this new chipset carries the codename Charlotte Pro. Interestingly, this follows the announcement of the Kirin 9010, part of the Pura 70 series, which is codenamed Charlotte. This positions the Kirin X90 as a potentially enhanced version of its predecessor, though direct performance comparisons remain unverified, as no specific performance metrics have been disclosed yet.

According to the leaked specifications, the chipset will encapsulate a robust ten cores working on 20 threads through hyperthreading capabilities. While details about the accompanying graphics processor are still awaited, previous rumors hint at the integration of the advanced Maleoon 920 GPU, which would elevate the graphical performance of devices powered by this SoC.

According to a report by Huawei Central, the Kirin X90 is designed to comply with Chinese cryptography standards, including SM3 and SM4, ensuring enhanced security features. The debut of HarmonyOS-powered notebooks is anticipated for later this year, marking a significant milestone in Huawei’s attempt to push against Microsoft Windows dominance in the PC market. It will be intriguing to analyze the outcome of Huawei’s endeavor as they venture into the laptop segment with their proprietary operating system.
