On March 31, 2023, at Huawei's earnings conference, a reporter asked a question: "When will Huawei's 5G mobile phones be used"? In this regard, Xu Zhijun, Huawei's rotating chairman, said very directly: "If you want to see Huawei's 5G mobile phone listed, you must get the approval of the U.S. Department of Commerce."
At that time, seeing Xu Zhijun's reply, many people felt very helpless. Unexpectedly, it turned out that this was just a "smoke bomb" released by Huawei, and Huawei was in a critical period of conquering 5G at that time, and Xu Zhijun's reply was completely to hide people's eyes. 5 months later, Huawei Mate60 Pro was born,The Kirin 9000S chip it is equipped with was subsequently **,This chip uses a domestic 7nm process,Although it does not display5G signal,But the actual measurement is5G speed,So far, many people understand,5 months ago, Xu Zhijun's reply seems to be a well-planned "**just。
The release of Kirin 9000s has brought the domestic semiconductor process into the 7nm era, because this is a completely localized process, so the production capacity and yield have not been able to climb, so since the release of the Huawei mate60 series to January, it has been in a state of long-term shortage, online need to squat to rush to buy, offline need to increase the price to start.
The good news is that from mid-January 2024, the Mate60 series in offline stores will start spot sales one after another, which means that the production capacity problem of the Kirin 9000S has been solved. In addition, in the 2023 Q4 5G mobile phone new market share ranking according to authoritative statistics, Huawei Mate60 Pro won the first place, and the Mate60 won the ninth, and Huawei is completely back in the high-end market!
If the previous Huawei was still secretive about its chip models and 5G, then the recent Huawei directly did not install it completely. Recently Huawei put the MatePad Pro 132The tablet was pushed to the overseas market, and some netizens unexpectedly found that in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Italy and other countries, the chip model marked on it was Kirin 9000W!
This is of great significance, because this is the first time since the return of Huawei's mobile phone king that the chip model of Kirin has been marked in an official way, and Huawei has not mentioned the chip model of the mate60 in any official channel. This represents at least two meanings, first of all, Huawei's production capacity problem has been completely solved, and it is about to usher in a big explosion in the overseas market, and secondly, it is clear to tell foreigners that I use self-developed and self-produced Chinese Kirin cores, and I have not used American-related technology, and I am not afraid of sanctions at all!
Regarding the Kirin 9000w chip, the official website only mentions that it is an "octa-core" chip, and what is the difference between it and the Kirin 9000s, it is not known at present. However, according to the naming method, it should only be a difference in frequency or tuning. And it is worth mentioning that Huawei has gradually devolved the Kirin core to the nova series, and then Huawei will launch a sub-brand "Xingyao" to replace the previous position of glory, using Kirin chips to focus on the cost-effective market, priced between 1500-3000. This series of actions means that Huawei's mobile phone business will accelerate its return in 2024!
In 2022, Huawei will turn the corner, in 2023, Huawei's mobile phone business will resume normal operation, and in 2024, the US sanctions will be completely invalid, Huawei's mobile phones, chips, AI, automobiles, databases, communications and other businesses will blossom everywhere, Huawei will return as the king in an all-round way, the global technology field will be reshuffled, and the US technology hegemony will be hit like never before!
