Huawei's mobile phone returns to the first place in the Chinese market, and nova 12 is equipped with Kirin chips, causing a frenzy!
In the first week of 2024, Huawei's handheld devices will become the leader in the Chinese market, with a market share of nearly 20%.
Although the Mate 60 series did not perform well, the Kirin processor in the nova 12 was a major blow.
Huawei has regained its position as the leader of the Chinese market, which shows that Chinese people have long been familiar with Chinese-made mobile phones and technology.
The development process of the Kirin chip is exciting.
In October 2004, Huawei established HiSilicon, with He Tingbo taking full responsibility for HiSilicon's business, and Ren Zhengfei proposing to invest RMB 2.4 billion a year in HiSilicon.
He Tingbo was surprised when he heard this, and said, "Why should I spend so much money? Ren Zhengfei said very seriously: "If you can't use it up, you will be deducted from your bonus!" ”
However, Huawei is constantly developing its own chips.
In 2009, Huawei released its first domestic mobile phone chip, the K3V1, which uses a 110 nm process, while its competitors have already entered the 55 nm process.
The K3V1 lags far behind the market in terms of performance and manufacturing technology.
Huawei knows very well that the development of a mobile chip cannot be completed in a day or two, it must be slowly ground in water.
Four years later, Huawei launched a K3V2 mobile** chip with a 4-core ARA9 structure, which is comparable in performance to the Orion 4412. Huawei's D1, P2 and Mate1 all use this chip.
Despite the overheating issues and GPU compatibility, this is a huge improvement over the previous generation.
In December 2013, Huawei released its first mobile** chip"Kirin"- Kirin 910, the chip is manufactured using TSMC's 28nm process, 4-core CPU, and the main frequency is 16 ghz；The graphics processing unit uses a Mali-450MP4 and integrates a Balong710 baseband. 450MP4 architecture with Balong 710 baseband.
The Kirin 910 is the world's first 4-core SoC and can be used in Huawei's P6S and Mate2.
In June 2014, Huawei launched the Kirin 920, which also uses TSMC's 28nm process, with 4 cores and 1A 7 GHz CPU, a Mali-T628MP4 processor, audio and processing chips, and a baseband for the Baron 720 for a maximum speed of 300 MB.
During the same period, the Honor 6 processor was also the first Kirin processor in history to win the championship and surpass Qualcomm Snapdragon.
The Kirin 920 is an important milestone for Huawei's mobile** chip, and it is also its first appearance in the global market.
On September 6, 2019, Huawei officially launched the Kirin 990, which is the world's first 5G SoC, using TSMC's 7 nm process, 8-core processor, and a maximum frequency of 286 ghz。
The graphics card uses a 600 MHz 16-core Mali-G76 processor, which greatly improves the performance of the graphics card.
The Kirin 990 is the world's first 5G baseband to be integrated into a mobile** chip. The 5 G baseband chip can save 21-36% of power consumption, which is what the Kirin 990 is known for"Ice unicorn"Causes.
Huawei sold 248 million mobile phones that year, surpassing Apple and becoming the second-largest mobile phone manufacturer in China and the world, thanks to Kirin chips.
In October 2020, Huawei released TSMC's latest Kirin 9000, which uses TSMC's 5nm process and has an 8-core processor that can reach up to 313 ghz。
The GPU uses 24-core Mali-G78 as the GPU, and the NPU adopts dual macro-core + micro-core (NPU).
This model surpasses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 overall, with only the defect of ** shortage.
This is due to pressure from the United States, TSMC will stop supplying chips to Huawei on September 15, 2021, and Chinese foundries are not currently capable of manufacturing 5 nm chips.
In August 2023, Huawei officially launched the Mate 9000 series of mobile phones, equipped with the Kirin 60 S, officially announcing the return of the king of Kirin.
The Kirin 9000 S is still very different from the previous Kirin chips, the CPU uses the Taishan architecture, while the processor uses the Maleonn 910 instead of the ARM architecture.
In terms of manufacturing, the Kirin 9000 has cooperated with the mainland's leading companies, rather than TSMC and Samsung. This is the gap in the real sense, and it is also a microcosm of the development of domestic chips.
Thanks to the continuous improvement of chip production technology, the sales of Huawei Mate 60, Nove 12 and other models have risen rapidly, reproducing the hot scene of the year, allowing Huawei to regain the hegemony of domestic mobile phones.
Judging from Huawei's performance in the domestic market, the reason why Chinese love domestic products is because"Good value for money"this condition. Huawei's mobile phones are selling very slowly, while the domestic mobile phone industry is constantly developing.
A mobile phone, not only the system and chip, but also the screen, camera, battery, memory, microphone, antenna, etc., the entire industrial chain is very long, and there are many people involved.
When it comes to the operation of the industrial chain, there is no one better than Apple, which can suppress TSMC, Foxconn and other world-class companies, and can also take out a large part of the profits, which shows its operating ability.
In addition, Apple also stipulates that companies in its ** chain must design and manufacture accessories that meet their own needs according to their own needs.
To make matters worse, Apple has also kicked out a number of companies such as Oufeiguang and Goertek from its own companies.
Samsung has formed its own complete industrial chain in terms of operating system, system chip, display, camera, memory, etc. Some people even say that if there is a company in the world that can make its own mobile phones, it must be Samsung.
But Samsung has no Android, no iOS, no Redmi, no Qualcomm, no Apple, no Huawei, no Sony, no camera, no strongest industrial chain, and not as profitable as Apple.
Apple is making a wedding dress for the entire industry chain, Samsung is making its own products, and Huawei is the only company that can support the domestic mobile phone industry chain.
Huawei's mobile phone screen is provided by BOE, and the Mate 20 Pro released by Huawei in October 2018 uses a flexible AMOLED screen produced by BOE in China, making full use of Huawei's advantages in technological upgrading on BOE screens.
Among them, BYD, Lead, Xinwei Communication, Weir, Lens Technology, Qiu Ti Technology, Sunny Optics.
Among them, John Micro provided the RF front-end, Electric Chain Technology provided the connector, South Circuit provided the PCB IC carrier board, AAC Technologies audio unit, New Wanda battery, etc.
Due to the release of the Mate 60 series, 90% of Huawei's mobile phone components are domestic, and some important components, such as the operating system, system chip and display, have been localized.
Huawei's Mate 60 Pro, which only needs 6499 yuan, can use 90% of the profits in the domestic mobile phone industry chain, so that other companies have more funds for research and development, which is a good cycle.
Conscientious bosses will also raise wages for workers, so that they can have the confidence to continue to expand domestic demand and ensure a virtuous circle of domestic consumption.
After Xiaomi's 4,000 yuan is sold, Qualcomm can pay 1,000 yuan more, which is a huge profit in Qualcomm's industrial chain.
In order to compete with our company, Qualcomm has spent a lot of human, material and financial resources on scientific and technological research.
There is also a kind of that is to allow employees to obtain higher positions, and the company's profitability is relatively easy to earn, so there will be such high benefits.
And now, Mate 60 and Huawei 12, two models equipped with Kirin chips, have returned strongly and seized the market at a very fast speed, which is not just the patent of a mobile phone manufacturer, but a domestic mobile phone industry.
The best-selling of such products has not only inspired Huawei, but also the morale of enterprises and countless workers in the entire industry chain.
If we can also have our own core technology in the future, such as Apple, such as Qualcomm, such as Intel, such as NVIDIA, such as Microsoft, such as Intel, such as Nokia, such as Lenovo Lenovo, such as Lenovo to Apple, Lenovo to Intel, Lenovo to Lenovo, Lenovo to Lenovo, Lenovo to China's GDP, it will definitely rise to a new height.
