That's not true. Huawei's first chips are also full of abuse. With the improvement of chip performance, it has won wide acclaim after competing with Apple's high-end machines. If the performance of the chip designed by Xiaomi is good, I believe that the skeptics will shut up and the market depends on strength.
What are you doing? Kirin's reputation in those years was not so good. How bad is the garbage that killed k3v2? This is how Huawei persisted. Is Xiaomi afraid of being scolded?
There is a simple reason.
Huawei's Kirin chip is a truly self-developed product.
Xiaomi's so-called "self-developed chip" is nothing more than buying a chip from Qualcomm, polishing off the logo and spraying Xiaomi's logo!
I say this because Xiaomi has invested too little in R&D! Such a small investment is simply not enough to develop chips.
First of all, these two things are not the same type. Although they are all chips, the 555 timer can also be called a chip.
Huawei's Soc, system on chip, is fully functional. Xiaomi's may just be an image processing chip, similar to a video framing chip equipped with one plus. Many domestic companies can do it and it is very mature.
Cynicism is marketing skills, which can be replaced immediately, but not clarified. . . Deliberately touching porcelain Huawei. This is disgusting.
Chip development will never be smooth sailing. At the beginning, Huawei's chips suffered many times more cynicism than Xiaomi's chips, and even Qualcomm reversed his case several years ago. If we don't take a blow in adversity and continue to invest heavily in research and development in countless failures, then Xiaomi's chip will never succeed. People and enterprises that can't stand a little injustice will never become enterprises with backbone.
In the words of Mi Monkey, did Xiaomi study mask aligner himself? Is the architecture independently developed? Is the system developed by yourself? Self-research that doesn't start with Lassa is a fake self-research. Why didn't the monkey say something when he mocked Huawei?
It must be admitted that this small chip of Xiaomi is not as complex and difficult as that of Huawei's Kirin, because according to the current news, it can basically be determined that this chip is not a chip like Huawei Kirin 9000, but an ISP chip. This kind of chip is mainly responsible for taking pictures in mobile phones, mainly for post-processing the signals output by image sensors, which can not be compared with chips like Kirin 9000 in function and technical complexity.
Because the components of ISP, CPU, GPU and NPU are all integrated in Kirin 9000, and the most critical baseband is also integrated in Kirin 9000, you will find that the ISP chip is really nothing in front of Kirin 9000. In fact, Huawei can hang up the ISP just by taking out the baseband chip, because the difficulty of baseband can be said to be the biggest in Kirin 9000. Of course, this difficulty is not only the difficulty of semiconductor design.
So those people have the confidence to sneer at Xiaomi, but their ridicule has no other effect except to add some heat to Xiaomi. Everyone longs for strength. Today, Huawei is strong, so they are waving flags and shouting at Huawei. When Xiaomi is strong, they will quickly change camps. They think they are on the side of the strong, so they are also strong. In fact, they are just a group of clowns. Does Huawei's achievements today have anything to do with them? Did they develop the Kirin chip? Speaking of it, this is an immature performance.
Kirin's chip was not called by Xiaomi until 9000 to buy a picture and throw it to TSMC. Design is the simplest. If you get stuck in your neck, it's out of stock. Now Xiaomi says that he has made a small chip. It must be his own design, his own eda, his own fab and mask aligner. Certainly can't OEM, otherwise Xiaomi laughed at Huawei's spit and didn't want to swallow it back? Very sticky. I can't stop biting.
Huawei has made chips, both successful and unsuccessful. Since the first chip, several versions of 10 have been released intermittently, and the R&D investment and technical personnel are unclear.
Of course, 10 has been ridiculed countless times over the years, especially at the beginning of its failure. Even now, when HiSilicon's Kirin chip can be compared with Snapdragon's, there are still people complaining.
Xiaomi has also introduced a 2855438+0 chip mounted on Xiaomi 5C before. However, this chip has no bright spot and the market effect is not very good, so it is not carried on other models.
Just when everyone thought that Xiaomi would launch S2, Xiaomi officially announced that the chip R&D team had been dissolved.
Although it claims to be dissolved, it has actually developed, but it may be a stream. On the occasion of Xiaomi's 10th anniversary last year, a digital blogger took photos of S2.
However, after a lapse of one year, in the case that Xiaomi has basically given up the self-developed chip, a number of new products will be released at the spring conference of Xiaomi this year, including new self-developed chips.
It is estimated that Xiaomi is bright now, but he is also prepared for danger in times of peace. If you don't have your own chip, you will be strangled sooner or later, but with the chip, you can be on an equal footing with Huawei and speak more confidently from a distance.
However, the difficulty of developing chips can be imagined. Xiaomi took Huawei's old road and was ridiculed as the only way. However, there is a lot of cynicism, and more should be hate iron not to produce. Without the spur, where did the motivation come from?
Although Xiaomi can't say when he can catch up with Kirin, I hope Huawei Xiaomi can catch up with me as soon as possible and will not be stuck by Qualcomm.
