Huawei officially announced that Qualcomm has laid off employees, what is the assessment of China's technological development?
Raimondo"Endorsements"Once the Huawei Mate60Pro was listed, it instantly became the focus of the world, Americans, Japanese, Koreans, and of course, including us Chinese, have disassembled and tested this mobile phone, and US intelligence agencies have spent a lot of manpower and material resources on the Kirin 9000S chip"Anatomical grade"。U.S. intelligence agencies have spent a lot of manpower and material resources on the Kirin 9000S chip"Anatomical grade"tested, but only found that the chip did not belong to Huawei's chip inventory, did not contain American semiconductor technology, and knew nothing about its underlying technology.
According to the investigation report of the US intelligence agency, domestic chip foundries have built high-quality chip production lines that do not contain US semiconductor technology, and the problem of Huawei's Kirin chip manufacturing has been solved. In the field of mobile phone SoC chips, Apple's A series chips, Qualcomm's Snapdragon series chips, and MediaTek's Tianyu series have been divided into three parts, but what everyone didn't expect is that Huawei Kirin has achieved a counterattack on Apple, Qualcomm, and MediaTek in just a few years, and launched the world's first 5nm 5G chip half a year ahead of Qualcomm.
The strong rise of Huawei's 5G and Kirin chips has broken the monopoly of American companies such as Cisco and Qualcomm in the industry"Roots"In order to safeguard its own vested interests, Huawei has carried out endless suppression and sanctions in order to nip all threats in the bud. However, with the escalation of sanctions against Huawei, the United States is no longer satisfied with the suppression of Huawei, a Chinese company, and continues to join forces with allies such as Japan, the Netherlands, and South Korea to blockade China's semiconductor technology in a vain attempt to block it"China Chip"。
Due to U.S. sanctions, semiconductor companies such as TSMC and Samsung refused to produce Kirin chips for Huawei, and Huawei Kirin was arrested"Termination"。In order to continue the mobile phone business, Huawei has been forced to use Qualcomm's 4G chip, and the mobile phone business may be hovering near the line of life and death, which is a very sad thing for Huawei, the global 5G leader.
The advent of the Kirin 9000S chip means that China has the ability to manufacture top-tier chips, and Huawei's chip shortage has been effectively alleviated. Huawei's rotating president, Xu Zhijun, said not long ago that although domestic chip technology is slightly backward compared with leading chips in the West, as long as we use it on a large scale, domestic chips will definitely reach the world-class level. In fact, Huawei has already done it. Some time ago, Huawei officially announced that from 2024, Huawei will completely stop buying chips from Qualcomm.
With the return of Huawei's Kirin chip, Apple and Qualcomm have made trouble one after another. According to ** report, due to the launch of the Huawei Mate60 series, Apple's iPhone 15 sales in the Chinese market fell by millions year-on-year, losing its dominant position in the Chinese market. Qualcomm, on the other hand, has begun large-scale layoffs at subsidiaries and research centers in several countries around the world, with a staggering 25% of its workforce. Many industry experts said that the return of Huawei mobile phones will seriously affect the sales of other domestic mobile phones, so Qualcomm's chip shipments will drop by 50 million pieces, which is a number that cannot be ignored for Qualcomm.
However, there are also some people in China who oppose Huawei's move to develop its own chips, such as 96-year-old He Zuoxiu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who has publicly stated that Huawei should not develop its own chips, and if the United States shares technology, it will not cut off supply. In addition, scholar He Zuoxiu also believes that there are many bottlenecks in Huawei's integrated circuit technology, which shows that Huawei is not as professional as Westerners.
Facts have proved that many domestic enterprises are due to their existence"Buyer psychology"They believe in the global division of labor, they rely on technology, they become large and mediocre companies, they do the most tiring work, they make less money, although the scale is large, but it does not play a positive role in promoting the development of China's science and technology industry. Excuse me: If we vigorously develop the chip manufacturing industry while entering the field of chip R&D and design, will the United States dare to cut off our chips?The answer is yes, no!
Huawei's Kirin once again caused huge losses to American companies such as Qualcomm and Apple, indicating that Chinese companies such as Huawei need to take the road of independence. If Chinese companies want to complete modernization and industrial transformation, they must give up"Assemble"Only by increasing investment in scientific research and mastering advanced technology can we stand tall in the forest of world enterprises and completely conquer our enemies.
