Architecture: Kirin 980 lists Cortex-A76; Helio P90 (MT6779) lists Cortex-A75. The listed organization describes the documented configuration; it does not rank application speed.
Memory technology: Kirin 980 lists LPDDR4X-4266; Helio P90 (MT6779) lists LPDDR4X-3732. Memory bandwidth: Kirin 980 lists 31.78 GiB/s; Helio P90 (MT6779) lists 13.91 GiB/s. Instruction set: Kirin 980 lists ARMv8; Helio P90 (MT6779) lists ARMv8.2. Process label: Kirin 980 lists 7 nm; Helio P90 (MT6779) lists 12 nm. GPU description: Kirin 980 lists Mali-G76; Helio P90 (MT6779) lists PowerVR GM 9446. The GPU and memory descriptions help identify the documented graphics and data interfaces. Process names and nominal limits require their original source context.
This comparison matches 10 sourced fields across 4 specification sections. 7 fields differ. 0 of 20 field values use manufacturer disclosures; remaining values retain their source evidence class. The field publication dates remain attached to their sources. There is no matched measured workload benchmark or current price evidence in this page, so it cannot establish a purchase winner, energy-efficiency winner or total system cost.

Who should consider each?
Use the soc specifications to check the intended integration requirements. For a purchase, add current availability, price, software compatibility and measurements of your workload. The field differences alone do not justify recommending one model.
