From a time perspective, nearly 10 months have passed since Huawei shipped back the last batch of Kirin chips. However, during these 10 months, due to the interference of the ban, Huawei not only used less chips, but also suffered a huge collapse in its mobile phone business in both overseas and domestic markets.
What’s even more terrible is that Huawei’s new models cannot be mass-produced, and its market share has been further eroded. How can the chip supply problem be solved in a short time? ?According to the current situation, I am afraid that the only way is to procure chips from abroad
According to the current situation, I am afraid that the only way to procure chips from abroad is to keep the mobile phone department alive. And that’s exactly what it did. Huawei released the MatePad 11 tablet computer, and from the configuration diagram released by Huawei, we can find that the processor equipped with MatePad 11 is not its self-developed Kirin processor, but the Snapdragon 865 processor launched by Qualcomm.
According to reports, Huawei’s new machine MatePad 11 is a mid-to-high-end product. It looks simple, elegant, and fashionable in appearance, and Huawei’s new machine also has highlights in its core configuration. ?Huawei continues to use Qualcomm chips, which is a bit difficult to accept
The 120hz high-refresh screen has a resolution of 2.5K, and it can also support multi-screen collaboration with PCs, which is very interesting. With the addition of a stylus and magnetic keyboard, it can be adapted to more office scenarios.
In terms of performance alone, the Snapdragon 865 is indeed sufficient. However, for the majority of pollen, Huawei's continued use of Qualcomm chips is a bit difficult to accept.
You must know that a large part of the reason why Huawei mobile phones and other products were so popular among consumers and the market was the Kirin processor, but now Huawei has no advantage. ?With the release of these two MatePads, Qualcomm has completely "captured" Huawei
In this regard, many pollen said that with the release of these two MatePads, Qualcomm has completely "captured" Huawei. , Unless Kirin chips can be reborn, Huawei will not be able to get rid of its dependence on Qualcomm processors in the future. This result can be said to make most pollen feel very helpless.
Huawei has worked very hard, but in the face of the US blockade, it does not have many options. However, most netizens expressed their understanding that in order to maintain the mobile phone, tablet and other markets, Huawei has been able to bend and stretch, and has chosen to endure the humiliation and bear the burden, so it has to use Qualcomm's backward generation processor, and it is also a 4G version. ?It’s true, Huawei’s core shortage is getting more and more serious, but the new U.S. regulations show no signs of relaxing
It’s true, Huawei’s core shortage is getting more serious, and the new U.S. regulations show no signs of relaxing. , in order to survive, there is nothing wrong with choosing Qualcomm chips. After all, Huawei has to support 200,000 employees, and its annual salary expenditure alone is as high as 140 billion yuan.
In addition, it is very interesting that Qualcomm is the only third-party manufacturer licensed to ship to Huawei. MediaTek, TSMC, etc. have not obtained licenses. The fundamental reason why the United States treats them so differently is still itself. interests. ?You must know that TSMC, as the world's leading chip foundry, fully implements new U.S. regulations
You must know that TSMC, as the world's leading chip foundry, fully implements new U.S. regulations. In addition to rejecting Huawei's In addition to OEM orders, we are also actively cooperating to build factories in the United States, including 5nm and 3nm chip factories, but we still have not obtained permission to ship to Huawei.
For Huawei, self-sufficiency is the only way out, so it is necessary for Ren Zhengfei to choose a dual-line chip layout. It is not difficult to see from this that the real purpose of the United States is to prevent Huawei from continuing to develop chip technology. It can accept Huawei's purchase from American suppliers. ? Huawei is not allowed to conduct independent research and development, which will affect the development of U.S. companies
But Huawei is not allowed to conduct independent research and development, which will affect the development of U.S. companies. I have to say that this approach of the United States is really overbearing. It can be described as "only state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps."
So, what the United States does is quite a thief. On the one hand, it uses a ban to restrict the development of Huawei. On the other hand, it allows American companies to supply Huawei and make money from Huawei, taking all the benefits. . ?Maybe some people will still say that accepting Qualcomm's chips is Huawei's compromise
Having said that, some people may still say that accepting Qualcomm's chips is Huawei's compromise. But to be fair, Huawei basically has no way out now. The market "life and death line" of Hongmeng 16 is right in front of us. If Huawei cannot improve the perfection of Hongmeng system ecology, this will push Hongmeng to the edge of the cliff.
I hope everyone can understand more. After all, Huawei’s only goal is to survive now. Fortunately, according to the prediction of TCL founder Li Dongsheng, the problem of high-end chip manufacturing will be solved in China in five years, and Huawei's HiSilicon chips will be expected to resume production by then.
