The Huawei Mate60 series was launched, and the Kirin 9000S chip officially returned.
According to the news, the Kirin 9000S chip is close to or has reached the 7nm level, and it is still manufactured in China.
Huawei nova12 series is on the market, Huawei still has not announced any chip information, but many parties have confirmed that it uses Kirin 8000 and Kirin 9000SL chips, which are different versions of the same origin and performance from Kirin 9000S.
In other words, at least three Kirin chips currently applied to mobile phones have appeared.
First of all,Debt also has to engage in chips
After the revision of the chip rules, Huawei has fully entered the chip semiconductor, and invested in more than 100 domestic chip companies through Hubble, and Huawei has invested in more than 10 lithography machine light source technology companies alone.
This is evident in Huawei's debt and growing investment in R&D.
According to the data, Huawei's total liabilities in 2018 were 432.7 billion yuan, in 2022 Huawei's total liabilities were 626.7 billion yuan, and in the third quarter of this year, Huawei's total liabilities exceeded 700 billion yuan.
Huawei's R&D investment has increased year after year, reaching 141.8 billion yuan in 2020 and exceeding 826 percent in the first half of this year0.4 billion, and the annual is expected to exceed 160 billion yuan.
Ren Zhengfei said that if you want to make a breakthrough in the field of chips and semiconductors, you can't just throw money, but also scientists, mathematicians, physicists, etc.
Secondly, HuaweiSinceResearchMore chip semiconductor technology.
Yu Chengdong once said that Huawei believed too much in the global industrial chain, which led to the temporary inability to manufacture advanced chips such as Kirin 9000.
Today's Huawei is no longer only engaged in chip R&D and design, but has entered a deeper field of chips and wants to build a completely independent chip industry chain.
Huawei, together with domestic manufacturers, has developed its own EDA tools, and has completed the localization of EDA tools above 14nm, and will complete comprehensive verification this year
Huawei's self-developed chip architecture and instruction set include not only the da Vinci architecture and the Lingxi instruction set. According to the news, Huawei has developed its own Taishan architecture and developed chips based on the open-source architecture RISC-V architecture.
Huawei has even entered the field of semiconductor equipment such as lithography machines.
Otherwise, the president of ASML will not say that Huawei's self-developed chip semiconductor industry chain is an act that undermines the global industrial chain, and announced that it will continue to ship 2000i and other models of lithography machines to China after the launch of Huawei Mate60Pro.
In the end, Huawei silently once again made the chip a global leader.
Before the chip rules were revised, Huawei HiSilicon was one of the world's top 10 semiconductor companies, and the Kirin 9000 and Baron 5000 were the world's most advanced 5G chips at that time.
Nowadays, chips such as Kirin 9000S, Honghu 900, and Ascend 910B have appeared, and Huawei has optimized the core layout of Kirin 9000s chips, and chip giants such as Qualcomm have followed suit.
The performance of the Honghu 900 far exceeds that of its peers' flagship chips, and the Ascend 910B chip is comparable to the Nvidia A100 chip, and Huang Jenxun has publicly stated that Huawei is one of the most powerful competitors in the field of artificial intelligence chips.
The most important thing is that Huawei has announced that the chip self-sufficiency rate has reached 70%, and called on the domestic industrial chain to use more domestic chips and other products, which means that China has the ability to produce more kinds of chips, and the production capacity is also guaranteed.
Only one of Huawei's nova12 series uses Qualcomm chips, which means that Huawei is not far from giving up Qualcomm chips completely.
Some foreign media said that Huawei may no longer purchase Qualcomm chips, and Qualcomm ** In 2024, the number of chips shipped to China is expected to decrease by 40 million to 60 million. The results are already obvious.
