With the release of the Huawei Mate60 series, the processor of the Kirin 9000 is finally back.
There are reports that the Kirin 9000 processor is already close to 7 nanometers, and it is domestic.
Although Huawei's nova12 has not yet released a specific processor, Huawei has confirmed that this processor uses Kirin 8000 + Kirin 9000, both of which are Kirin 9000 processors, but they are two processors.
This means that there are now at least three Kirin chips that have been put into this product.
The first thing to do is to make the debt.
After the revision of the new chip regulations, Huawei officially entered the semiconductor field, and through Hubble, injected capital into chip companies in Chinese mainland, and there are currently more than 100, and Huawei has invested in more than a dozen in the field of light source of lithography machine alone.
This can be seen in Huawei's debt and increased investment in research and development.
According to statistics, Huawei's total debt reached US$432.7 billion in 2018, while in 2022, Huawei's total debt reached US$626.7 billion, and in the third quarter, Huawei's total debt has exceeded US$700 billion.
Huawei's R&D investment has been increasing every year, reaching 141.8 billion yuan in 2020, and in the first few months, its investment has reached 82.4 billion yuan, and in the whole year, its investment will exceed 165 billion yuan.
Ren Zhengfei once said that to achieve a breakthrough in semiconductor chips, it is not only about throwing money at it, but also about a large number of scientists, mathematicians, physicists and other talents.
The second is Huawei's own research and development of more semiconductor chips.
Yu Chengdong once said that Huawei has too much trust in the international ** chain, so it is not yet able to produce high-end chips like Kirin 9000.
Now Huawei is not only making chips, but also doing deeper research, and wants to establish a complete semiconductor production line with independent intellectual property rights.
Huawei's self-developed EDA software, which is jointly developed by major companies in China, has achieved independent research and development of EDA tools for 14 nm and beyond, and all of them have passed the test within the year
Huawei has a self-developed chip architecture and command system, including both the Da Vinci architecture and the Lingxi system. According to reports, Huawei has independently developed the Taishan architecture, which uses an open-source RISC-V architecture.
Even Huawei has dabbled in semiconductor devices, such as lithography machines.
If this is not the case, ASML's CEO will not say that Huawei and semiconductor manufacturing companies in other countries are disrupting the world's ** chain, so after the Huawei Mate60 Pro goes on sale, ASML said that there will be more 2000 i series lithography machines, ** to the Chinese market.
In the end, Huawei once again quietly became the world's No. 1 semiconductor company.
Before the new regulations, Huawei's Hisilicon was one of the top 10 semiconductor companies in the world, and their Kirin 9000 and Baron 5000 were the top in the 5G era.
Now the Kirin 9000, Honghu 900, and Ascend 910B, Huawei is also constantly improving its Kirin 9000 processor, as well as other chip companies such as Qualcomm, are imitating this trend.
The Bird & Bird 900 is much better than the flagship processors of its class, while the Ascension 910 B can compete with Nvidia's A100, and even Huang Jenxun has said that Huawei is the most powerful competitor for AI chips.
One of the most important points of teaching you how to use AI is that Huawei claims that their chip self-sufficiency rate is more than 70%, and calls on major domestic manufacturers to increase their support for local areas, so that they can expand their chip varieties in a short period of time while ensuring their own output. Huawei's nova12 has only one processor equipped with Qualcomm, which also indicates that Huawei is about to completely abandon Qualcomm's processor.
According to foreign ** reports, Huawei may stop buying Qualcomm chips. Qualcomm estimates that its exports to the U.S. will fall by 40 million to 60 million units in 2024. The winner is decided.
