Huawei's chip incident continues to ferment, has the era of cornering overtaking and core making come to an end?
Huawei's strength in the field of communication technology is not limited to 5G technology, but also in the field of WiFi technology. This impressive performance is due to Huawei's dedication to technology, and even in very difficult times, Huawei has not given up on self-development of technology, but has increased HiSilicon's R&D investment.
What people didn't expect was that Huawei was committed to solving the problem in order to create domestic chips"Lack of core and soul reduction"There are problems behind Huawei's knife"own people"。
The leak of Huawei's technical information continues to cause an uproar, and the target is not just Zhuoni Communications.
However, in"Your own people stab your own people"This angry behavior gradually began to dissipate, and many people began to worry about Huawei's losses, and even worried about Huawei"Overtaking in corners"The era of building the core has come to an end.
The theft of basic technology can have a huge impact on any company, and the same goes for Huawei. However, I personally believe that stealing technology will not have a big impact on the development of Huawei's chip division.
1) On the one hand, the technology stolen from Huawei is mainly WiFi6 and WiFi7 related technologies, although Mr. Zhang, the founder of Zunpei Communication, is a senior R&D director at Huawei, but the technology involved is mainly in the WiFi field, that is, the wireless communication field, which has little impact on the chip field.
This is not to say that WiFi7 technology is not important to Huawei, in fact, the reason why Huawei chose to file a complaint with ** instead of taking legal measures is because WiFi7 technology is very important and can be said to be an important node of communication technology. This year, the WiFi7 technology development standard is about to be released, which will not only affect Huawei's leakage, but also affect Huawei's participation in the development of the standard.
However, no matter how important WiFi7 technology is, from an objective point of view, the impact on Huawei's chips is at most indirectly generated by affecting Huawei's revenue, and will not drive the rapid development of Huawei's chips.
2.On the other hand, although there are many suspicions behind the theft of Huawei technology, many people suspect that Qualcomm or even Xiaomi is involved. However, from the perspective of the international order and the overall situation, this technology theft case should be a small probability event, and even Huawei may suffer losses if it can find enough evidence that it can be recovered.
After all, patents are the best way to protect a company's interests and give companies and individuals the confidence to develop technology. If patents lose their meaning, then the field of technology is basically out of order. If a company can use Huawei's technology with impunity, it means that Huawei can also use other companies' technology with impunity, and no one wants that to happen.
3.Finally, Huawei's core has basically solved the most critical problem, and Huawei's next chip research and development will enter the fast lane. For Huawei, the problem with chips is not to design chips with excellent performance, but to manufacture them. Kirin 9000, Ascend 710B and other chips have proved that Huawei has reached cooperation with domestic chip manufacturers and has stable chip foundry channels, which means that Huawei chips have completed a breakthrough from 0 to 1 and opened up the domestic ** chain.
In the future, the development of Huawei Core will be nothing more than a matter of improving the technical level and improving the chip process.
The development of the integrated circuit industry requires a large amount of capital investment and sufficient technical support"Fast lane"Acquisition of advanced technology through infringement, theft of technology, etc. will never work. Whether it is Huawei's chip research and development, or China's chip research and development, although it is indeed facing some obstacles at present, the fact is that it is steadily advancing.
In short, Huawei's successive progress in the field of integrated circuit semiconductors can also be seen that Huawei has excellent technical level and R&D capabilities. The development of Huawei's integrated circuits has entered"Fast lane"If you want to overtake in a corner, although it is difficult, it is not impossible.
However, if China Chip really wants to break down technical barriers and achieve localized substitution, what is needed is not like"Overtaking in corners"In that way, we rely on infringement and misappropriation of technology, but focus on technology research and development, and find new technological breakthroughs"Overtaking in corners"It's realistic! Reliable and really meaningful.
