Recently, Synopsys Technology, which provides chip development tools in the United States, has been investigated, and the industry believes that it may be caused by its illegal provision of EDA development tools to Chinese chip companies, which makes people wonder why Synopsys Technology has taken such a risk to provide assistance to Chinese chip companies, but this has led to Huawei's support for domestic chip development tool software companies.
It is reported that Huawei has long recognized the importance of chip development tools, this is because its demand for chip development tools is quite strong, among many chip companies in China, Huawei HiSilicon technology is the most advanced, the largest scale, involving the widest range.
Huawei HiSilicon developed Kirin chip because it is used in mobile phones, so consumers are quite familiar with its Kirin chip, in fact, today's Huawei HiSilicon also develops server chips, base station chips, Internet of Things chips, power management chips, etc. Earlier there was a dismantling mechanism to disassemble Huawei's mobile phones and found that half of them were designed by Huawei HiSilicon.
So it is not surprising that Huawei is more aware of the importance of chip development tool software than other chip companies, for this reason Huawei's Hubble investment in the domestic mobile phone industry chain enterprises, but also a large investment in chip development tool software companies, according to statistics data show that Huawei has so far invested in Jiutongfang microelectronics, Shanghai Akas microelectronics, Wuxi Feipu Electronics, Lixin software and other EDA manufacturers, it is estimated that Synopsys Technology is worried that these EDA tool manufacturers are about to develop domestic EDA software, And choose to provide support, after all, you can earn a sum, it is better than not earning a point in the future.
Huawei invests in industrial chain enterprises and hopes to work with these industrial chain enterprises to achieve national production of mobile phones, base stations and other products; Huawei invests in EDA software development manufacturers, hoping to achieve national production of chip design, coupled with the localization of chip manufacturing processes, in order to truly form a complete chip self-developed industrial chain.
Among many domestic enterprises, Huawei may be the one that has deeply promoted independent research and development. Huawei's HiSilicon chip has reached the global advanced level in technology, and the Kirin 9000 chip put into production in 2020 is still more advantageous than the power consumption of Tianji 9000, Snapdragon 8G1, etc. even today, indicating that it is leading in chip technology research and development strength, and the technology is leading enough to truly achieve independent research and development.
Nowadays, Huawei has invested in the domestic mobile phone industry chain, as well as chip development tool companies, coupled with its own mobile phone and many chip research and development, so that it can truly assume the heavy responsibility of developing mobile phones in the country, indicating that it is promoting the independent research and development of chips step by step, rather than shouting slogans.
In addition to chips, Huawei has developed a mobile phone operating system Hongmeng and server systems, together with its self-developed mobile phone chips and server chips, from hardware to software to achieve independent research and development, effectively improving the security of these industries, when it strings these chains together, it will completely get rid of dependence on foreign related industries in the future.
Huawei can invest so much, but also because of its own strength, in the peak period its revenue was close to 900 billion, although the revenue in 2021 has declined, but the revenue is still as high as more than 630 billion yuan, huge revenue allows it to have enough funds to invest in technology research and development, it is reported that in 2021 its research and development investment is as high as more than 140 billion yuan, ranking the forefront in the world.
Huawei's support and breadth for independent research and development is obviously incomparable to other domestic enterprises, and it is this persistence and determination that makes it a leader in independent research and development, and has won the respect of domestic consumers, and it has also become famous because of this, although its mobile phone is more expensive at the moment, consumers are still actively buying.
