Oops, mom, you know what? Making chips is not like playing with mud, saying that if you throw money, you will throw money!
Huawei's Kirin 9000, that is really a big gamble of "tape-out once, 300 million bye"! I guess many people have never heard of this.
On the eve of the birth of the Huawei Mate 40 series, the 5nm process tested the water, and more than 300 million yuan was lost. What's going on?
But even if it hurts so much, Huawei has to grit its teeth and hold on. Don't expect others to give sweetness, just tear down all the underlying code of your own HarmonyOS system and start from scratch!
On the stage of Hongmeng Next, Huawei's bigwigs are tougher than the other, and the sentence "all self-developed" is loud and full of energy, as if announcing to the world: "From now on, we will go our own way, go by ourselves!" ”
Don't get me wrong, this is not just a show of muscles, but Huawei is saying ruthlessly: "We don't want to live on people's nose anymore!" "No matter what popular app it is, as long as it's not your own, no matter how tempting it is, you can't use it. Why? It's not because of the taste of the supply cut, one time is enough, and I don't want to come back again.
No, the newly released Hongmeng Next and Kirin series, from the inside out, are just the word - autonomous! On the surface, the system is incompatible, but in fact, it completely sweeps away the shadow of those "imported products".
From Kirin 9000S to 9010, it seems that the chip performance is running in small steps, but behind it is Huawei's bold moves, eliminating foreign technologies little by little, and rooting itself deeper and more stable.
Huawei is determined to do it ourselves, have enough food and clothing, and rebuild a set of exclusive ecosystems. In the past, the cooperation model of you do yours and I do me, when it comes to life and death, it is simply a floating cloud! Today it is the bottom layer of the system, and tomorrow it may be the production of the whole machine. High cost? Don't be afraid, Huawei understands that if the foundation is not solid, it will be too late to cry when the earthquake comes.
Therefore, Huawei's series of operations are not arbitrary, but a wise move to be forced. Instead of waiting to be stuck in the neck, it is better to tighten your belt and become independent, no matter how difficult it is, you have to go on. In the short term, the road is long; But from a long-term perspective, this may be Huawei's single-plank bridge.
Of course, this is easier said than done. To be truly independent, Huawei is betting this time, in addition to the white money, there are also a lot of manpower and material resources.
From the chip to the system, every step is soaked in the sweat of countless Huawei people. Whether this self-developed long march can reach the other side of victory depends on whether all Huawei employees can twist into a rope and overcome the difficulties together.
