After Huawei, Chinese companies officially announced
Since the Huawei incident in 2019, the domestic market has paid more and more attention to the research and development and breakthrough of independent technology, and two major areas of many self-developed technologies have been particularly valued, namely operating systems and semiconductor chips, because these two major technical fields are directly related to the foundation of China's technological development.
Nowadays, in terms of operating system, Huawei has led Chinese enterprises to take a very important step, at the 2019 Huawei Developer Conference, Huawei successfully released the Hongmeng operating system applied to the multi-terminal market, and in the past two years, it has continuously added weight to the Hongmeng system.
In addition to promoting the application of the Hongmeng system, but also laid for the Hongmeng system software and hardware ecological environment, and now at the software level, Tencent, NetEase and other companies have developed their corresponding APP based on the framework of the Hongmeng system, and in terms of hardware, Midea and other home appliance giants have also developed a corresponding Internet of Things system based on the OpenHarmony provided by Huawei to the Open Atomic Fund, and accessed its products.
This series of operations will push the development of domestic operating systems to a very high level, and today's Hongmeng system has marched towards the overseas market, I believe that in the future in the operating system market, Hongmeng system will have an important place.
After Huawei, in the field of semiconductor chips, although the domestic market before there are also such as Mega Core, Loong Core, but the lowest level of these chips development architecture is from American enterprises, not the real sense of independent research and development, in order to break this situation, in 2021 the Chinese Academy of Sciences under the Loongson Zhongke Company team jointly developed a set of 100% independent research and development of the localization of the chip instruction set architecture LoongArch, and this LoongArch architecture in order to adapt to the current development environment, Compatibility with architectures such as X86 has been well achieved.
However, this is obviously not enough, so on January 8, according to the news, LoongArch Zhongke officially announced that the first LoongArch ecological innovation conference will be held.
This is also the first in the domestic chip market after Huawei, when Chinese companies officially announced the initiative to build an ecosystem for their products.
What Intel didn't want to see happened
After all, before in the chip field, we were more with the help of the authorization of US companies, but now we have our own chip instruction set architecture, if we want to strengthen it, building an ecology for it is naturally the most direct and necessary measure.
In the face of this operation of Zhongke Longxin, foreign media also commented that "the situation that Intel does not want to see has still happened", because once the ecological construction of the LoongArch architecture is perfect, then Intel's development in the Chinese market will be hit hard, but according to the data, in recent years, nearly 40% of Intel's operating income is from the Chinese market, and Intel is naturally unwilling to lose.
Of course, a new set of instruction set architecture wants to build a complete ecosystem and compete with the old chip giant Intel, which will be a difficult and long-term road, but from the perspective of Huawei's encounter, this road is imperative, and Loongson Is not alone, because Huawei has taken the first step in the system field, I believe that LoongArch can also keep up in the chip field.
summary
From the recent two years of China's actions in the field of operating systems and semiconductor chips, domestic substitution imports have become a trend, and this trend has been recognized by more and more Chinese enterprises, and we have also had a precedent of self-research beyond imports, such as shield machines, once we were blank in this field, but now our shield machine technology has surpassed Europe, the United States and Japan.
Another example is the etching machine, which used to be imported only, but now we have achieved the world's top, and I believe that the future EUV lithography machine is the same. We are working wonders again and again.
Are you optimistic about the development of domestic chips and systems?
