Built on the LogicFolding architecture, Kirin 9050 Pro packs the new LinxiCore CPU with simultaneous multi‑threading, delivering up to 24% higher single‑core speed and 52% stronger multi‑core performance.

Its redesigned architecture features a 9-core design with 3.1GHz 1 prime core and 2 performance cores for heavy workloads, 4 efficiency cores for multitasking, and 2 lightweight cores for everyday use.

Thanks to this setup, the device loads files up to 50% faster than the Kirin 9030 Pro.

It also has an upgraded Maleoon GPU with up to 50 MRPS real‑time ray tracing and a 142% boost in rendering performance, plus a new Da Vinci Architecture NPU. This introduces the industry's first on‑device MOE LLM deployment with 30 billion total parameters and 2 billion active parameters. Running on the Pangu Large Language Model (30B‑A2B), it supports smart file management features across the system.

In addition, it comes with the new Balong modem w/ improved ground 5G access and a 42% better satellite paging success rate, with 40% faster connection speeds as well as dual‑chip security with Post‑Quantum and EAL5+ CCRP certifications, and a rapid heat dissipation cooling system to sustain peak performance.

The chip is found on the new HUAWEI Mate XT 2 tri-fold smartphone. Likely, HUAWEI will also use this in their other future high-end mobile devices like the Mate 90 Series.
