ARM provides a public version of the core, Huawei's redesigned architecture, communication baseband, TSMC mass production, equivalent to a car. The chassis engine is provided by the government, re-adjusted by Huawei, and then supplied by itself on the headlights, steering wheel and other circuits. Finally, it is handed over to the agent factory for production.
As the only mobile chip that can be mass-produced and widely used in Chinese mainland, Huawei Hisilicon Kirin processor has been deeply supported and loved by Chinese people, especially after ZTE refused to order, the lack of chips in China was seriously exposed. At this time, Huawei's Kirin chip made many people in China find the support of faith.

HiSilicon's chip products: Kirin 980, Kirin 7 10, Kirin 970, Kirin 960, Kirin 950, Kirin 659, Kirin 935, Kirin 930, Kirin 928, Kirin 925, Kirin 920, Kirin 9 10T, Hi3789MK3V2.
Take Kirin 970 processor as an example. First of all, its four A73 cores and four A53 cores all come from the world-famous chip design company ARM, and the graphics processing part of GPU also uses ARM's Mail-G72. In fact, Qualcomm's previous chips, Samsung Orion and Apple A series also used ARM cores. Later, Qualcomm developed its own core architecture.
On the basis of adopting the common core of ARM, Huawei has adjusted the overall architecture, which is also very difficult and important. It can be seen from the performance comparison among Samsung Orion, Apple A series and Huawei Kirin. At the same time, if this step is very simple, why can only these companies design chips on the premise that everyone can use ARM's public architecture?
Then, in terms of communication baseband. As we all know, a chip has not only CPU and GPU, but also baseband and ISP camera, especially baseband. Samsung Orion has not been put on the market on a large scale because of its imperfect baseband.
As a global communication giant, Huawei has independently developed Kirin's communication baseband, which is not restricted by Qualcomm, and also pays huge patent fees to Qualcomm every year.
Kirin 970 is the world's first artificial intelligence chip with built-in NPU neural network unit, and its NPU unit is also the research and development achievement of CAMBRIAN company. It is equipped with CAMBRIAN M 1 first generation artificial intelligence chip and belongs to domestic chip.
