From the Huawei 2021 annual report conference, see if Huawei's chip problem can be solved?
Foreword: On March 28, 2012, Huawei held the 2021 annual report conference, which was full of dry goods, in addition to announcing Huawei's 2021 performance data, but answered a variety of questions. And today we will come from this annual report conference to see how huawei chips in the future will solve it?
Revenue fluctuates and develops steadily
Huawei held the 2021 annual report conference today, announced the 2021 performance data, of which, 2021 Huawei revenue of 636.8 billion yuan, it must be mentioned here is its overall revenue, in fact, there has been a decline, compared to 2020, down 28.6% year-on-year.
However, we see several gratifying places, the first is its net profit, reaching 113.7 billion yuan, an increase of 75.9% year-on-year. Although overall revenue declined, net profit increased.
The most important thing is that we saw Huawei, he has been insisting on R & D investment, in 2021, R & D investment reached 142.7 billion yuan, a record high, ten years of cumulative investment in research and development of more than 845 billion, accounting for 22.4% of the annual R & D investment, gradually this year Huawei was under pressure, so that Huawei will put all its energy into R & D investment to solve various problems, and here we just do an extension with you, talking about chips.
R&D investment, absorb talents
Continuous R& D investment is a fundamental reason for Huawei's progress, which is what many domestic companies must learn and pay attention to, the development of an enterprise and its core technology have a close relationship, and the improvement of core technology is inseparable from its R & D investment.
Therefore, we see that Huawei can continue to invest in research and development, and in 2021, the investment in research and development reached 22.4%, on the one hand, it shows that Huawei is under pressure, so that Huawei has to invest at a greater cost; on the other hand, it also shows that Huawei is indeed constantly insisting on research and development and investment in technology.
Long-term R&D investment, precipitated and accumulated R&D capabilities, R&D teams, and R&D platforms are the core of Huawei's long-term sustainable competitiveness.
The advancement of technology, the increase in R&D funds, from our point of view, this is a kind of "resistance" under pressure. The increase in technology investment in 2021 is not a kind of "counterattack"!
For the increase in R&D investment, the continuous absorption of talents is another step for Huawei. Therefore, Guo Ping, rotating chairman of the board, said that let the geniuses come in groups to overcome world-class problems.
Chip problems, but also because of the increase in investment and the addition of talents, there is a more likely existence.
Chip orientation, multi-core systematization
In the face of the chip problem, in fact, Huawei's rotating chairman Guo Ping has given the answer -
1. More enterprises enter the market.
2. Huawei will actively seek systematic breakthroughs
3. In the future, Huawei's chip solution may use a multi-core structure to improve chip performance
Huawei's chips may adopt more nuclear structures to improve chip performance. Does this indicate that the future Kirin processor still has new products, more nuclear technology, such as from 8 cores to 12 cores, 16 cores?
The future Kirin chip should still exist, possibly in the form of multiple structures, to systematically improve, change or enhance its performance. We even guess that in terms of OEM workmanship, as well as CPU, GPU and other aspects, its technology is likely to be different from the current top advanced technology, but with the Hongmeng system, as well as its own technical advantages, improve its system capabilities, enhance its multi-core performance, and solve Huawei chip problems.
What we are looking forward to huawei's chips now is more about how it will solve the chip pressure it encounters. However, through the 2021 annual report, it can be seen that Huawei has actually found a solution in the face of the current pressure, although this solution, to some extent, it is not an optimal solution! So, will you look forward to Huawei's future chip development path like I do?
