Since September 2020, Huawei's HiSilicon Kirin chip has been discontinued for 17 months, and even Yu Chengdong has publicly admitted that the Kirin chip has temporarily become a "no song". As a result, Huawei's smartphone shipments continue to decline, which is lamentable.
Nowadays, Huawei can only mix and match Kirin chips and Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, which can greatly reduce the consumption of Kirin 9000 series chips.
Huawei has another Kirin chip
Logically, after 17 months of consumption, Huawei's reserves of Kirin chips have long been exhausted, but everyone still far underestimates Huawei.
According to the news of the well-known digital blogger @ Machine Arsen, Huawei plans to launch a Huawei Mate40E 2022 version of the mobile phone product in March, which will be equipped with a Kirin 9000L processor and support 5G networks.
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first news about the Kirin 9000L on the Internet, and many well-known digital bloggers have also noticed the emergence of the Kirin 9000L processor.
Before that, Huawei took out the Kirin 9000, Kirin 9000E two chips, and now, a Kirin 9000L has emerged, so that many people have a great interest in this chip, Kirin 9000L chip by whom?
You know, under the restrictions of the United States' encirclement and interception and the rules, Huawei can even come up with a new chip, which is indeed a bit incredible.
According to the author's understanding, under pressure, TSMC and SMIC have already announced that they have broken off cooperation with Huawei, and the Kirin 9000L should also be an advanced chip, even if SMIC ignores the ban, it does not have the ability to OEM for Huawei.
In addition, there are rumors that Huawei's Kirin 9000L chip is oem by Samsung, but in the author's opinion, this rumor can basically be identified as a "rumor".
Because the new chip regulations announced by the United States are all-round sanctions against Huawei without dead ends, not only for TSMC, but also for Samsung.
According to Samsung's style, in order to develop more smoothly in the semiconductor field, it will not disregard the ban of the United States to risk manufacturing chips for Huawei.
Therefore, based on multi-faceted analysis, no chip foundry company in the world should dare to give Huawei a Foundry Kirin 9000L chip.
The author believes that as early as 2020, when facing the comprehensive suppression of the United States, Huawei has already had a comprehensive arming in terms of chips, and there is a high probability that Huawei has hoarded more Kirin 9000 chips than imagined.
In the process of OEM Kirin 9000 chip production, Huawei uses technology to magically modify the defective product, deriving a new type of Kirin 9000 chip, perhaps the Kirin 9000L itself is a defective product.
However, the emergence of the Kirin 9000L does not allow Huawei to get out of the predicament. If there is no accident, the inventory of Kirin 9000L chips is also very limited, and the listing of mobile phones equipped with Kirin 9000L can only allow Huawei to brush a wave of existence in the mobile phone market, proving that it has not given up the mobile phone business.
The author believes that huawei's flagship mobile phone released in 2022 will still be dominated by Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, but this is also a forced solution, after all, the ban still exists, and Kirin chips cannot be produced.
Write to the end
Although the Kirin 9000L chip cannot change huawei's status quo, it shows the outside world its own pre-emptive layout, as for whether Huawei has a bottom card in the future, it is not yet known.
The author believes that with Huawei's efforts, it will be able to overcome difficulties and return to the peak of the mobile phone industry.
