'''Kirin 980''' is a {{arch|64}} high-performance mobile [[ARM]] [[LTE]] SoC designed by [[HiSilicon]] and introduced in late 2018. Fabricated on TSMC's [[7 nm process]], the 980 incorporates four [[big cores|big]] {{armh|Cortex-A76|l=arch}} cores operating at up to 2.6 GHz along with four [[little cores|little]] {{armh|Cortex-A55|l=arch}} cores operating at up to 1.8 GHz. This SoC has an LTE modem supporting 1.4 Gbps download (Cat21), incorporates an ARM {{armh|Mali-G76}}, and supports LPDDR4X-4266 memory.

Kirin 980 is a 64-bit high-performance mobile ARM LTE SoC designed by HiSilicon and introduced in late 2018. Fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm process, the 980 incorporates four big Cortex-A76 cores operating at up to 2.6 GHz along with four little Cortex-A55 cores operating at up to 1.8 GHz. This SoC has an LTE modem supporting 1.4 Gbps download (Cat21), incorporates an ARM Mali-G76, and supports LPDDR4X-4266 memory.

Overview[edit]

Introduced at the 2018 IFA, the overall core organization has changed from the Kirin 970 which was introduced the previous year. The 980 features two high-performance big Cortex-A76 core operating at 2.6 GHz, 2 medium-performance big Cortex-A76 operating at 1.92 GHz, and four little Cortex-A55 cores operating at 1.8 GHz. Compared to the 970, the 980 features 40% power efficiency and 62.5% smaller die area due to the process shrink. The 980 ballooned to over 25% more transistors from 5.5 billion in the 970 to 6.9 billion. The 980 adds many enhancements, including a more powerful Mali G76 GPU and incorporates a new dual-neural processor designed for AI acceleration. The 980 has two improved ISPs and a more powerful LTE modem supporting up to User Equipment (UE) category 21 capable of reaching a maximum downlink of 1.4 Gbps.

Cache Organization
Cache is a hardware component containing a relatively small and extremely fast memory designed to speed up the performance of a CPU by preparing ahead of time the data it needs to read from a relatively slower medium such as main memory.

The organization and amount of cache can have a large impact on the performance, power consumption, die size, and consequently cost of the IC.

Cache is specified by its size, number of sets, associativity, block size, sub-block size, and fetch and write-back policies.

Note: All units are in kibibytes and mebibytes.
