They have one thing in common, which is produced by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).
A recent report says that they will introduce a 7-nanometer manufacturing process with the latest technology.
The technology is EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography), a technology that allows the chipset to be designed as small as possible but produces faster performance.
The interesting thing is that the Kirin 985 will be produced with the above technology.
Huawei prefers the name Kirin 985 compared to Kirin 990 for their next chipset.
That indicates that they will make a small upgrade to the Kirin 985.
