Guys, news about Kirin 8020. There is a new update in which it is informed, along with other specs, that the Kirin 8020 has only 2 CUs on the GPU. Also, it is called Maleoon 920C, so time to change it. PS: Meanwhile, Huawei has the Kirin 9020A and 9020B. While the former is an underclocked 9020, the latter is a heavily nerfed 9020 with just one big core, 2 mid cores, and 3 small cores. So yeah, only 9 threads.

Actually the SMT is activated on those processors, is the same core config than the 9020 with lower clock speeds.

No the gpu side is way higher than expected not the same as the 270k plus of demensity 8200
