Huawei's Lingxi instruction set has attracted widespread attention, which means that Huawei has taken another important step in the field of chip technology. As one of the core technologies of chips, instruction sets play a vital role in the operation of CPUs. At present, almost all mobile chips in the world use Arm's instruction set architecture, including Apple, Qualcomm, MediaTek and Huawei. However, with the revision of chip rules and the inability of manufacturers such as ARM to ship freely, Huawei has obtained a permanent license for ARMV8, but for higher-level V9 and subsequent architecture technologies, Huawei cannot obtain authorization. Therefore, in order not to be limited by technological evolution, Huawei began to develop its own instruction set in order to have more room for development and innovation capabilities.
Huawei has made great breakthroughs in its self-developed chips and core technologies, not only in the R&D and design of its own chips, but also in key technologies such as the Da Vinci architecture, NPU, and CPU, and has successfully launched software algorithms such as GPUturbo. In particular, Huawei's self-developed NPU is based on the da Vinci architecture and is widely used in Huawei HiSilicon chips. In the field of artificial intelligence chip manufacturing, Huawei is recognized as one of its strongest competitors. In addition, Huawei has also begun to develop chips based on the RISC-V architecture, and hopes to completely part ways with ARM through its self-developed instruction set.
Huawei's development strategy can be traced back to Ren Zhengfei's early thinking. He has made it clear that Huawei can use American devices, but the United States does not allow Huawei to use them. In order to cope with this situation, Huawei has been ready for comprehensive independent research and development, and has realized the localization of a large number of components, including chips and circuit boards. In the case that TSMC and other manufacturers are unable to ship freely, Huawei has accelerated the domestic production process of related components, which not only opens up the domestic mobile phone industry chain and ensures the production capacity of Huawei's mobile phones, but also promotes the development of the domestic chip industry chain, and has made important breakthroughs in the domestic independent manufacturing of chips such as Kirin 9000s.
Huawei's self-developed chip industry chain has attracted global attention, and has even been recognized by the president of ASML as an act that undermines the global industrial chain and harms global interests, which undoubtedly shows that Huawei and other domestic manufacturers have achieved breakthroughs. With the development of Huawei's Lingxi instruction set, Huawei will further realize the complete localization of chips and fundamentally solve the key problems in the development process.
The significance of Huawei's independent chip research and development is not only to cope with the challenge of external technology blockade, but also to promote the development and improvement of China's chip industry. Through independent research and development of chips, we have gotten rid of our dependence on external manufacturers and are able to carry out technological innovation and product design more freely. This will not only meet Huawei's own needs, but also provide better and more competitive products in the domestic market. At the same time, Huawei's independent chip research and development has also laid a solid foundation for the improvement of China's entire chip industry chain, and has made positive contributions to achieving technological independence and achieving national economic prosperity.
The self-developed chip technology will also help improve China's influence in the global science and technology field. As a global science and technology power, China has huge potential and advantages in cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and 5G. Through independent R&D and application of self-developed chip technology, Huawei can showcase China's scientific and technological strength and innovation capabilities on the global stage, and promote China's position in the global technology industry.
In addition, Huawei's independent chip research and development will also help improve China's information security level. As an enterprise with a large amount of user data and important communication equipment, it is an important responsibility of Huawei to protect user data and network security. By independently developing chips, Huawei can better control chip technology and security performance, strengthen the security and reliability of its products, and ensure the security and privacy of user data.
The self-developed instruction set is both a challenge and an opportunity for Huawei. First of all, self-developed instruction sets require a lot of R&D resources and technical investment, and require strong technical strength and professional team. Huawei will face a comprehensive upgrade and transformation of the chip design and compilation system, which requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Second, the self-developed instruction set needs to be compatible and adapted to the original ecosystem in order to achieve interoperability with existing equipment and software. At the same time, it is also necessary to solve the legal issues such as technology transfer and authorization brought about by the self-developed instruction set to ensure that the results of independent research and development are legally protected and used. However, the development of the in-house instruction set also presents a huge opportunity. Through its self-developed instruction set, Huawei can design and optimize its own chip architecture more innovatively, improve chip performance and power consumption, and achieve true customization and differentiation. At the same time, the self-developed instruction set is also expected to break the current pattern of monopoly by external manufacturers, bringing more choices and competition opportunities for the development of the entire industry.
Huawei's Lingxi instruction set marks another major breakthrough in Huawei's chip field. With its self-developed chips and core technologies, Huawei has achieved a series of achievements and is continuously increasing the pace of chip localization. The launch of the self-developed instruction set will further enhance Huawei's independent innovation capabilities and technical strength in the chip field. In the future, Huawei will continue to promote the development of China's chip industry, strengthen the construction of the domestic industrial chain, and contribute to the transformation of Made in China to Created in China.
Whether in the field of mobile phones or network equipment, Huawei has been recognized and praised globally for its outstanding technical strength and innovation capabilities. As an international technology company, Huawei continues to promote the development of the global technology industry with its unique and leading technological advantages. It is believed that with Huawei's continuous investment and efforts in the research and development of independent chips, Huawei will show a more dazzling light on the global technology stage.
