Might be good to do a little more surface level research before an article!!
The SC and MC are up a bit, while the freq_max is down. This is because of its new Taishan architecture, roughly 25% IPC gains with the clock loss nets about a 10% performance gain.
9010 is really just minor optimizations on the 9000 though, as the name and half-cycle implies.

This should imply a good efficiency gain.

GSMArena reports that the Kirin 9010 has the same general-purpose CPU core count as the Kirin 9000s: one ultra-high-performance core, three high-performance cores, and four low-power Arm Cortex-A510 cores.

I'm not fully sure whether we can trust this website, but here the specs are totally different. IDK.

HiSilicon Kirin 9010 – an 12-core chipset that was announced on April 18, 2024, and is manufactured using a 7-nanometer process technology. It has 2 cores TaiShan V121 at 2300 MHz, 4 cores TaiShan V121 at 1550 MHz, and 6 cores Cortex-A510 at 2180 MHz.

9010, like 9000s, supports SMT.
so when you saw 2 cores TaiShan V121 at 2300 MHz, 4 cores TaiShan V121 at 1550 MHz, it means 1 core @ 2300MHz and 2 cores @ 1550 MHz
