Recently, Huawei released the MateBook X Pro laptop, which is very powerful, using Intel's latest "New Core" (Core Ultra 9) CPU, which is not only more powerful, but also able to perform AI operations directly on the computer side, without relying on cloud AI servers.
As soon as the computer was released, it immediately triggered a strong reaction from Republican lawmakers in the United States, who were angry, saying that the U.S. Department of Commerce had given Huawei the green light to export such chips to some extent.
As we all know, the United States has been trying to suppress Huawei, from mobile phone chips, to 5G, to AI chips, various software, technologies, etc., in order to block and delay Huawei's development in the high-tech field.
But intel's chips have been unrestricted, and Intel has also obtained an export license, after all, CPU chips don't seem to have much need to be banned, because Huawei's notebook share was not high before, and it sold less overseas, and the United States didn't pay so much attention to PC, its technology is too mature, and it's not high-tech, it's just assembly.
So we see that Huawei's computers, including desktops and laptops, have been using Intel's chips, which has also caused dissatisfaction with AMD some time ago, saying that it only gives intel licenses, and AMD does not, which is unfair.
And this time Huawei uses intel's latest chips, obviously because intel has a license, so what chips Huawei wants, Intel will supply whatever chips, after all, CPUs are theoretically not involved in too sensitive projects, and they used to do so.
But I never thought that this time the Intel chip, with AI function, would have a certain relationship with the ban in the United States, and it could be far-fetched, so it aroused the dissatisfaction of some parliamentarians, so there were such doubts.
Of course, it is still unknown whether such CPU chips will be banned in the future, but I think there is a high probability that it will not be banned, because this is just the hype of individual parliamentarians.
But behind this matter, we still have to pay attention to it, in today's deepening globalization, we may usually use a large number of foreign technology, accustomed to it. So once we encounter special circumstances, how to achieve domestic substitution?
This is a topic that deserves long-term consideration and action, and this is a matter that deserves attention because of globalization and technological innovation, and it deserves attention, don't you think?
