However, although Huawei’s mobile phone business has been affected to a certain extent and its overseas market share has also declined, it did not choose to give up its mobile phone business. On the contrary, while stabilizing the current mobile phone business, breakthroughs have been achieved in other fields. No chip system left After the implementation of the chip ban, Huawei has announced that it will fully take root in the semiconductor field. In the field of chips, Huawei HiSilicon is one of the most powerful and technologically advanced chip design companies in China. At the same time, Huawei HiSilicon designs The chip has been able to reach the international top level. At present, Huawei HiSilicon has achieved very dazzling results in the chip field. In various fields such as mobile phone chips, artificial intelligence chips, servers, chips, etc., Huawei HiSilicon’s research and development capabilities are very strong and are subject to bans. As a result, the chips designed by HiSilicon could not be produced. In the first quarter of 2021, HiSilicon’s revenue decreased by 87% compared with the same period last year. However, even under such circumstances, Huawei has Never thought of giving up. According to related news, Huawei HiSilicon is currently designing a 3-nanometer Kirin 9010 chip. Although there is no way to find a foundry for it, it still has to maintain a technological lead. It is said that this chip is expected to be Complete the design by the end of this year. If one day the ban is lifted, Huawei will be able to hand over the designed chips to the foundry for immediate design without wasting time and energy. In addition to the chip field, Huawei has also achieved very good results in the operating system field. At the beginning of this month, Huawei launched the first domestic mobile phone operating system Hongmeng os. The emergence of Hongmeng os successfully broke Android and iOS. The monopoly formed in the domestic operating market has filled the gap that my country’s super mobile phone sets are system-oriented. It is said that after the launch of this mobile phone operating system, Hongmeng has achieved the coverage of 10 million devices in just seven days, and this number is still increasing, and there are currently more than 300 suppliers. As well as service providers, more than 1,000 hardware equipment manufacturers have joined Hongmeng, and most of these manufacturers come from various fields. Including Midea, Joyoung and Bank of China, China CITIC Bank, China Guangfa Bank and so on. Pull out a beast again In addition, Huawei has shown absolute confidence in Hongmeng and raised its original target of 300 million units to 360 million units. Huawei, which has been advancing all the way, has brought us one surprise after another, but the surprises that Huawei has prepared for us are obviously not the only ones. Now, Huawei, which has been advancing all the way, has pulled out a beast. This beast is Huawei’s new business. According to third-party data, the AR market space will reach 300 billion US dollars by 2025. In 2018, Huawei began its deployment in the AR field and developed Huawei AR. Only know that as of August last year, its AR has been applied to more than 500 million Huawei mobile devices. As the ecology continues to mature, the AR industry will usher in a huge outbreak period. This is undoubtedly a beast for Huawei. Therefore, although Huawei’s mobile phone business is still in a predicament, it is still in a difficult position in other fields. In China, Huawei has achieved very good results with Qingqing, and it has also achieved the world’s first lead by far. The United States originally intended to suppress the development of domestic science and technology by suppressing Huawei, but it did not expect that under the suppression of all forces, Huawei has become more and more frustrated, and now it has brought surprises after another. It seems that Midea’s dream is about to burst. In the future, Huawei will definitely regroup and bring its own mobile phone business back to the international market.

Compile | Jian Teng Edit | Yunpeng Wisdom News reported on May 24 that the US media HC (Huawei Central) recently revealed that Huawei will develop a 3nm chip, which is expected to be released in 2022. The rumored 3nm chip is temporarily named “Kirin 9010”, and it will be used in Huawei’s high-end mobile phones and tablets. 1. How high is the level of 3-nanometer chips? At present, Apple, Qualcomm, and Intel have mastered the most advanced chip research and development technology, while TSMC and Samsung represent the highest level of chip manufacturing. At present, the highest level of chips has crossed from 7nm to 5nm, and is moving towards 3nm. The chips using 7nm process are Apple A13, Snapdragon 865, Kirin 990, while A14, Kirin 9000 (including Kirin 9000E), and Snapdragon 888 are 5nm chips. According to rumors, the 3nm Kirin 9010 currently being developed by Huawei represents the highest level of the chip industry. 2. Kirin processor, application for registration Tracing the sources of HC and other media, you will find that the source of this information comes from the country. The picture shows that Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. applied for trademark registration of the Kirin processor on April 22. Kylin processor belongs to “9 scientific instruments” in the international classification, and its registration number is 55457549. This shows that Huawei mobile phones have not lost hope of returning to the market, HC commented on this. There is news in China that Kirin 9010 does not adopt the latest ARM V9 architecture, but instead adopts the ARM V8 architecture. Huawei’s familiarity with the V8 architecture allows it to further ensure the stability of the chip, while increasing the core and independent NPU will strengthen the performance of the Kirin chip. In addition, the Kirin 9010, like the current Kirin 9000, adopts a built-in 5G communication baseband. 3. R&D, not mass production It is believed that the rumored 3nm Kirin 9010 chip will be completed by the end of this year. In terms of manufacturing, currently only TSMC can manufacture 3nm chips in the world, and this manufacturing capacity has not yet reached the level of commercial use. In view of the sanctions imposed on Huawei by Western countries led by the United States, Huawei was unable to place chip orders to TSMC. HC said that repairing the relationship with the United States will be the key to Huawei’s mobile phone promotion work. Although the production of the Kirin 9010 is rumored to be difficult, its research and development is still necessary. Huawei’s rotating chairman Xu Zhijun once said that Huawei currently has no profitability requirements for HiSilicon. Although there is no place to process HiSilicon chips, Huawei will always keep this chip team and keep it moving forward. Concluding remarks: Where is the way forward for Huawei, which is “lack of cores” Since the United States announced sanctions on Huawei, Huawei has been ill-fated. Huawei’s mobile phones quickly fell to the altar, with an annual shipment of over 240 million units during its peak period and a brilliant domestic market share of over 39%. No one knows the suffering of “core shortage” better than Huawei. Where is the future development of Huawei’s mobile phones? In addition to independent research and development of chips, it is also vital that all industrial chains in the United Nations jointly overcome the difficulties of chip manufacturing.
