Huawei released Kirin 9000W chips overseas to challenge Western competitors!

Huawei has not been able to work with TSMC due to U.S. restrictions on chips, so Huawei's main competitor, Kirin chips, has been in short supply for years.
It was only in August last year that the Kirin chip appeared in public for the first time, and the chip, named Kirin 9000, attracted widespread attention at home and abroad. Not only that, but the Kirin 9000 W chip also appeared on Huawei's official website abroad: Is this a declaration of war on the West?
The unicorn returns to its glory.
September 15, 2020 is the day when the United States imposes a chip ban, after which Huawei's chips will no longer be allowed into TSMC's production lines, and Huawei and TSMC will part ways. Huawei relies on Kirin chip inventory to survive, but due to the huge number of mobile phone shipments, the inventory is already low.
Coincidentally, Qualcomm has also obtained a license to Huawei** chips, but only for 4G chips. As long as the mobile phone industry is vibrant, Huawei will follow, even if it comes at a cost. That's why Huawei focused almost exclusively on 4G phones between 2021 and 2022, waiting for 5G phones to become the main force in the market.
Huawei did not give up, but became more and more courageous in the face of setbacks, and finally succeeded in recovering. At the end of last year, the Mate60 series equipped with Kirin processors was officially released, and the Kirin 9000 S attracted the attention of the best at home and abroad. One thing is certain: the Kirin 9000 S is not a series chip, but a national chip.
The United States has shown great interest in such chips and has even threatened to launch an investigation. However, after so long, the United States has not announced the results, which shows that they are not clear about the problem of this chip.
Huawei's return to the Kirin has been very mysterious, neither the Kirin 9000 of the Mate60 series nor the Kirin 8000 of the Huawei 12 series have been mentioned. No specific information about the chip can be found on the official ** or mobile phone, while another of Huawei's Kirin 9000 W appears on the official overseas **.
Bluffing the West?
Huawei has started to make mobile phones again, not only in the domestic market, but also launched a 132-inch MatePad Pro tablet. In fact, on Huawei's official **, there is something about this product in the description"Kirin 9000w"information.
Huawei has never launched the Kirin 9000 in China, and it's unclear how it differs from the Kirin 9000, but it's safe to assume that the chip has eight cores and delivers excellent performance.
Huawei has kept a low profile about its Kirin chips, but this time it is pushing the product overseas: is it trying to get noticed in the West?
Huawei hinted that it will reposition itself in foreign markets and launch more smartphones and tablets.
So far, Malaysia, Italy, and Saudi Arabia have started selling the MatePad Pro 132, then the tablet, and finally the phone.
Huawei chose to release the Kirin 9000 W chip on its overseas official **, which means that Huawei is willing to accept interviews with foreign **, and many foreign ** will undoubtedly focus on the Kirin 9000 W chip. Huawei has returned from the ordeal and will certainly continue to move forward in good times and bad.
