BEIJING， Oct. 26 (Xinhuanet) -- Huawei， like Apple， is one of the only phone brands that makes its own processors. Its newly-unveiled gizmo Kirin 960 processor has caught the eye of many.


According to reports from Android Central， the Huawei device powered by Kirin 960 outperformed iPhone 7 and a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in the launch speeds of 13 out of the 14 most popular apps in China during test.


The mobile processor is the heart of any smart device. It is designed to support the running of applications， including graphics processing， memory management and multimedia decoding.


Currently the more popular processors on the market include Qualcomm's Snapdragon (used in phones like the Samsung Galaxy S7) series as well as Apple's A-series chipsets used in iPhones.


Huawei’s arch-rival in China， Xiaomi Inc， currently relies heavily on Qualcomm’s processors. Faced by the competition， Xiaomi is also looking to produce its own in-house processor so as to lower production costs， according to news circulated online.


The Kirin 960 will most likely power Huawei's upcoming， long-rumored Mate 9.

DUBLIN, Feb. 13 (Xinhua) -- Nine years ago, Gretta English lived the fast-paced life of a tech professional in Dublin. She drove a Lexus hardtop convertible Adidas Ultra Boost 3.0 Limited Nere Uomo Scontate , had a closet full of three-inch heels, designer handbags and Armani suits.


If there was ever a city slicker, she was it.


For most of her 15-year career in the technology sector, Gretta was a frequent flier. As a channel analyst and program manager for Microsoft, she covered Europe Adidas Ultra Boost 3.0 Night Cargo Uomo Scontate , the Middle East and Africa. Like many city dwellers with high-paced lives, she imagined spending idyllic weekends in the countryside with clean air and open spaces.


Then she met Liam, her husband-to-be, who ran a data and web analysis firm, based on his 90-acre home and farm in County Tipperary where the River Barrow Adidas Ultra Boost x Porshe Design Bianche Scontate , River Nore and River Suir come together.


"Liam refused to come to Dublin because he had his house and farm there," she said. "So I decided to compromise, and make the transition to move to the country."


Since the two were hoping to start a family, Gretta felt the time was right to take a break from her workaholic lifestyle and career. But farming was not something that she was initially drawn to. "The farm was being leased out," she said. "And I had never even owned a pet."


It was on one of her long drives back to her new home on the farm after a visit to Dublin Adidas Ultra Boost 3.0 Uomo Nere Scontate , that she heard the call. On the radio: "There was an ad for a farming college," she said. "Two years later, I was servicing lawnmowers and driving tractors."


Armed with her degree in horticulture from Ireland's Waterford Institute of Technology, Gretta found herself in a community of farmers who had inherited family farms and traditions.


The transition to farm life was not an easy one. "I found the first two years difficult," she said. "The pace of life was hard to adjust to. People spoke so slowly. Even the lectures seemed like they should have been condensed down to an hour."


"The isolation at the beginning was hard to adjust to. I was at a job with 750 people working in the same building Uomo Adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 Marina Multicolor Scontate , with constant contact and meetings. Here, the nearest neighbor is two kilometers away. There's no passing traffic, and no one walking past."


With all of the time by herself, Gretta said she had ample time for self-reflection. "The biggest surprise was realizing how much I missed being in charge. I had never thought of myself that way," she said. "And you can't rush around animals or they will run the other way. Animals can sense if you are unafraid and treat them with respect."


Unlike the competitive dog-eat-dog corporate world Uomo Adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 Carbon Marina Scontate , the farming community is a supportive and helpful one. "Farmers rarely socialize with the long days, busy farming schedules, and the drinking and.
