It is impossible for Huawei to give up its own chip research and development. The normal operation of HiSilicon has brought Huawei's self-developed chip capabilities to an advanced level. How can it give up easily if it has the foundation and talents. The purpose of paying patent fees this time is to alleviate the shortcomings of manufacturing chips. Country M has unreasonably blocked Huawei's road to self-developed chips and requires all companies using American technology not to provide chip manufacturing and product supply to Huawei. At the cusp of this crisis, Huawei's first priority is to survive, so after careful consideration, it chose to settle with Qualcomm to secure future promising chip supplies. This is only Huawei's response strategy and will not be the final chapter of its independent research and development of chips.
First of all, after years of accumulation, Huawei HiSilicon Semiconductor Company has sufficient self-research and design capabilities for chips, and has caught up with the world's top ranks in mobile phone chips, AI chips, etc. In the era of global informatization, Huawei's core ICT business is inseparable from chips, and the design and manufacturing of chips are all monopolized by European and American countries. Huawei HiSilicon Semiconductor has been independently tackling key problems for ten years. On the one hand, it obtains the use of architecture by purchasing authorizations. , on the one hand, a large number of talents have been invested in chip design. It is on this basis that HiSilicon can develop mobile phone chips at such a fast speed that are comparable to established chip manufacturers such as Qualcomm. However, the ARM architecture will also be forced to stop licensing. Huawei's independent research and development of chips has a long way to go. However, the success at this moment has inspired Huawei and the entire Chinese chip research and development industry. Independent research and development of chips must be available and can be successful.
This payment of patent fees to Qualcomm is actually a normal business transaction. In Huawei's mobile phone terminal industry, Qualcomm still occupies a large share of 5G patent fees. Although Huawei's 5G is leading the world, it still cannot bypass Qualcomm's intellectual property rights. Therefore, Huawei must pay this wave of patent fees. As long as Huawei wants to compete with Qualcomm Make good friends. Under the current severe situation, Huawei needs Qualcomm's help, and Qualcomm needs to operate for Huawei and strive to supply Huawei. Huawei needs to completely get rid of containment. Whether it is in terms of profit or survival, it will not give up its independent research and development of chips.
