Teardown reveals the Kirin 8020 chipset inside the nova 14 Ultra

Huawei announced its nova 14 series yesterday without a trace of information regarding their chipsets. Luckily, Chinese social media has once again come through and user @FixedFocus shared more details about the SoC inside the nova 14 Ultra. The device is equipped with the new Kirin 8020 chipset. The preliminary verdict – it’s an underclocked version of the Kirin 9020 from the Mate 70 series.

The chip apparently features the same 1+3+4 CPU configuration, though with slightly downclocked speeds. Kirin 8020 gets 1x prime core @2.29GHz, 3x cores @2.05GHz and 4x efficiency units @1.3GHz. The CPU is joined by the Maleoon 920 GPU with 2x processing units clocked @840MHz.

The teardown reveals that the Kirin 8020 inside the nova 14 Ultra features a 30% larger package area which makes it similar in size to the Kirin 9010 – the chip inside the Pura 70 series. Kirin 8020 comes with HiSilicon branding and bears the Hi62B0 identifier. Huawei also managed to integrate the Beidou and Tiantong satellite connectivity into the new Kirin 8020 chipset.
