According to the introduction, the Kirin 9050 series is equipped with a new-generation Maleoon GPU, delivering upgrades in performance, energy efficiency and graphics experience. It adopts a fourth-generation GPU microarchitecture, with GPU performance 40% and power consumption 45%.

The series’ new chips support second-generation hardware ray tracing, with ray tracing performance improved by 78%: second-generation hardware acceleration for ray tracing, featuring a high-performance ray tracing hardware acceleration compute unit; a BVH hardware acceleration unit that supports real-time reconstruction of geometric acceleration structures; FERT intersection hardware acceleration, supporting a patented intersection algorithm and hardware acceleration; an AO acceleration pipeline that can make ambient occlusion shadow effects more realistic.

In addition, Kirin 9050 series chips support AI super-resolution and HDR enhancement, which can make image details clearer and light-dark layers richer, and bring capabilities such as control-display separation and on-device 3D reconstruction. Huawei officially stated that the Maleoon API also supports deep collaboration with the HarmonyOS system.
