AMD and Intel have been fighting for nearly 40 years, and the days are not miserable. The monopoly position formed through market competition is not so easy to break. Look at AMD, Intel's old enemy. The design level of CPU is better than Huawei. Fighting with Intel for 40 years has not broken Intel's monopoly position at all: in the PC market, Intel occupies 82% and is the absolute boss;
In the server market, AMD's share is even worse, only 5%, and Intel accounts for more than 90%. Huawei has designed chips for less than 20 years, and launched the mature Kirin 920 for less than 10 years. Qualcomm PK is only two or three years away, but if we want to break Intel's monopoly position, Huawei can save this ideal and take time to realize it, because Intel is much stronger than Qualcomm.
Intel is stronger than Qualcomm, because X86 architecture is not an open ecosystem, and it is completely monopolized by Intel. Intel does not open X86 instruction set, monopolizes X86 micro-architecture design, and sells at no cost, which is different from the ARM architecture adopted by Kunpeng/Kirin chips.
The ARM architecture is open. You can spend money to get the instruction set authorization, you can also buy the magic change of the IP kernel itself, or you can directly buy the public CPU and GPU kernel designed by ARM to integrate themselves (Huawei is doing this now). In short, if you have money, you can buy it from ARM in buy buy. But at Intel, money can't buy X86 architecture, because people don't sell it!
Qualcomm coveted Intel's server market for a long time, launched a big charge, and finally ended in failure. Moreover, in the field of desktop processors, Intel has an exclusive advantage: the long-term cooperative relationship with Microsoft (Wintel Alliance) makes Intel processors lead the industry in compatibility and stability (not to say that there is absolutely no problem). Huawei chips currently lack the advantages of this powerful alliance because the domestic operating system is still very weak. Will Huawei have no chance? Not exactly.
The opportunity of Huawei Kunpeng processor is mainly in the domestic server market. In the current international trade environment, the independent security and controllability of government, financial institutions, energy and other key departments, PCs and servers have become an important proposition. As a domestic chip manufacturer, Huawei undoubtedly has more advantages. To put it simply, Huawei chips (Kunpeng processors) still have great opportunities in the domestic desktop and server fields, but it is still too early to break Intel's monopoly, but the prospects are still good.
