Under the attention of many netizens, Huawei's self-developed chip instructions integrate hot topics, and its Chinese name is "Lingxi Instruction Set" and English name is "linxiisa". People have said that Huawei's independent research and development in the field of chips is of great significance, Huawei not only demonstrated its own strength in the instruction set, but also achieved comprehensive self-development in multiple dimensions such as IP cores and final chips, and no longer relied on the ARM architecture, which makes people more optimistic about Huawei's prospects. Previously, the mobile phone chips and server chips used by Huawei used the ARM architecture, which made Huawei limited to ARM's authorization to some extent, and if ARM no longer authorized Huawei, Huawei would face a series of troubles. In fact, ARMV9 has stopped licensing to Huawei, so Huawei can only use ARMV8 instruction set licensing, and in fact, ARMV9 has many upgrades compared to V8, which puts Huawei at a disadvantage in terms of licensing. Therefore, in this case, it is understandable for Huawei to develop its own instruction set and fundamentally achieve all self-development, and get rid of its dependence on ARM. In addition, Huawei has the ability to develop its own instruction set, because as an enterprise with full-stack hardware and software self-development capabilities, it is not difficult for Huawei to develop an instruction set.
There is no great difficulty in achieving a fully self-developed instruction set, and Huawei has full-stack self-developed capabilities, so it is not difficult to develop a set of instruction sets. But the difficulty lies in the establishment and development of ecology, and without the support of ecology, any instruction set will be empty. We all know that in the PC field, the main reason why the x86 architecture is so powerful is that it has formed a close relationship with the Windows system and formed an advantageous Wintel ecosystem, which covers millions of software and hardware manufacturers, forming an irreplaceable circle. Similarly, the reason why the ARM architecture is so successful is that it forms an A-A ecosystem with Android, which is also irreplaceable with tens of millions of software and hardware manufacturers. The reason why instruction sets such as RISC-V and Loongarch are still relatively marginal and cannot replace X86 and ARM on a large scale is not because of the chips themselves, but because of their lack of strong ecosystem support. Because the ecosystem built by these two instruction sets cannot be compared with Wintel and A-A ecosystems.
For Huawei, if it wants to independently develop chip instruction sets, it also needs to consider the issue of ecosystem construction. Although Huawei has its own HarmonyOS system, it can make the HarmonyOS compatible with this new set of Lingxi instructions, forming Huawei's unique ecosystem, similar to Apple's. However, the process of building a complete ecosystem does not happen overnight and requires very long time and effort. Therefore, we should not be too impatient and impulsive, and should take a sober view, although Huawei has the ability to develop its own instruction set, it will take us a long time to build an ecosystem with a strong ecosystem.
Independent research and development of instruction set has important advantages and significance for an enterprise. First, self-developed instruction sets can get rid of the dependence on external authorization, thus gaining greater freedom at the technical and commercial levels. Secondly, the self-developed instruction set can better meet the needs of enterprises themselves and can adapt to the changing market situation. In addition, self-developed instruction sets can also bring higher competitive advantages to enterprises, enhance brand value and market position.
However, in-house developed instruction sets are not without their challenges. First of all, the research and development of self-developed instruction sets requires a lot of human, material and financial resources. Secondly, the self-developed instruction set faces the problem of market acceptance, and it is difficult to remain invincible in the highly competitive market without sufficient ecological support. In addition, the self-developed instruction set also needs to undergo rigorous technical evaluation and testing to ensure its stability and security.
The self-developed chip instruction set has a far-reaching impact on Huawei. First of all, Huawei's self-developed chip instruction set will further enhance Huawei's technical strength and innovation capabilities in the chip field. Second, Huawei's self-developed chip instruction set is expected to strengthen its cooperative relationship with partners and promote the coordinated development of the entire industry chain. At the same time, the establishment of the self-developed chip instruction set will also attract more outstanding talents to join Huawei, providing a higher level of support for Huawei's development in the chip field.
The establishment of Huawei's self-developed chip instruction set also has a significant impact on the entire technology ecosystem. First of all, the emergence of self-developed chip instruction sets will intensify the competition in the chip market and promote technological progress and innovation. Secondly, the establishment of self-developed chip instruction sets will have an impact on the existing technology landscape, which may lead to new cooperation and competition models. Most importantly, the establishment of self-developed chip instruction sets will inspire more enterprises to conduct independent research and development, and promote the development of the entire technology ecosystem in a more diversified and open direction.
The emergence of Huawei's self-developed chip instruction set has made people look forward to Huawei's development in the chip field, and highly praised Huawei's independent research and development capabilities. The self-developed chip instruction set can not only reduce the dependence on external authorization, improve technical strength and innovation capabilities, but also encourage enterprises to strengthen cooperation with partners and promote the development of the entire industry chain. However, building an ecosystem with a strong ecosystem is not achieved overnight and requires a long period of effort and patience. Therefore, the establishment of Huawei's self-developed chip instruction set needs to be tested and recognized by the actual market before it can truly exert its potential influence.
To sum up, it is not difficult to guide Huawei's self-developed chip instruction set, but the lack of strong ecological support will become a "fake big empty". Self-developed instruction sets are of great significance to enterprises, however, to achieve them requires a lot of resources and challenges in market acceptance. The establishment of Huawei's self-developed chip instruction set will have a profound impact on Huawei and the entire technology ecosystem, but it will take time and effort to gradually realize. As readers, we should treat Huawei's self-developed chip instruction set as a guest, and cheer for Huawei's development in the chip field.
