Prolific tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) took to Weibo to reveal there is a new “5nm” processor with frame interpolation technology is in development. Although the tipster did not mention the name of the SoC, it is likely the upcoming Kirin 9-series chip from Huawei, since it has long been rumored to be manufactured on a 5nm process .Huawei’s upcoming Kirin chip to feature 5nm process and frame interpolation tech

Frame interpolation isn’t entirely a new concept; it’s already used in TVs and some smartphones to create smoother motion by adding extra frames between the original ones. The leak also mentions “buffer compensation,” likely referring to techniques that counteract the delay caused by interpolation.
If implemented, frame interpolation could offer several benefits. Gamers might experience a more fluid gameplay experience, especially in demanding titles that push the graphics hardware. Additionally, DCS suggests that this technology could reduce power consumption, leading to better battery life during long gaming sessions.Huawei’s upcoming Kirin chip to feature 5nm process and frame interpolation tech
However, Huawei wouldn’t be the first smartphone manufacturer to implement frame interpolation tech, if the leak proves true. OnePlus 12, for instance, has a feature called HyperRendering, which is essentially a fancier name for frame interpolation. And it does the exact same thing — adds artificial frames between the original ones.
The new 5nm Kirin processor is expected to debut in the Huawei Mate 70 series. The line will also be the first to come with HarmonyOS NEXT software pre-installed.
According to earlier reports, the Mate 70 series will feature a 1.5K LTPO display, an Omnivision OV50K main camera with an ultra-large variable aperture, and a large battery possibly using silicon negative electrode technology for better efficiency. For added security, Huawei may include 3D face scanning.
Additional features may include 3D spatial zoom in the cameras and satellite communication support for emergencies. The Mate 70 series is expected to launch in the middle to late fourth quarter, potentially in December or later.
