Huawei Kirin X90A
Huawei's chip for the standard and Soft-Light editions of the MatePad Edge 2-in-1 tablet, launched in China in November 2025; the liquid-cooled edition uses the Kirin X90 instead. Huawei calls the processor desktop-class but has not published its GPU, process node or core layout. No review benchmark results were found.
Pros
- Huawei describes the MatePad Edge processor as a desktop-class chip shared with its HarmonyOS PCs
- Listed as an eight-core design with a 2.07GHz peak clock in spec listings of the MatePad Edge
- Huawei rates whole-device thermal performance at up to 25W for the non-liquid-cooled MatePad Edge, against 28W for the liquid-cooled edition
- Wi-Fi 7 in spec listings and Bluetooth 5.2 with LDAC and L2HC audio support on Huawei's page for the MatePad Edge
Cons
- Huawei's MatePad Edge pages do not state the core count, GPU or process node, so the eight-core and 2.07GHz figures come from third-party spec listings
- No review benchmark results for this chip were found, and Huawei's 3.8x performance claim was made for the liquid-cooled Kirin X90 model, not the X90A
- Huawei's official specs list only 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands, with no 6GHz band mentioned
- Confirmed by Huawei only in the China-only MatePad Edge, with no official US pricing
Awaiting benchmarks
No Inno Score yet: CPU and GPU still need a published benchmark result.
