It is rumored on the Internet that Huawei launched the last spare tire plan, is this true or false?

We have already said in the previous video,Lao Mei revoked the export licenses of Qualcomm and Intel,To restrict PC processors,This is bound to have an impact on Huawei's computer business,After all, the existing chips are exhausted,There may not be new ones。

So why did Lao Mei do this, and how big would the impact be? First of all, the impact will not be like before, not allowing foundry 5nm chips, not allowing 5G chips, and then causing such a big loss.

Secondly, in the exposed pictures, we can see the words "Battle of Tower", spare tire plan, etc., and plan to launch products equipped with the "KirinX series (tentative name)" PC platform to the market within the year.

Regarding this rumor, some media interviewed relevant people from Huawei, who said that it was fake news.

However, there have been many digital bloggers who have broken the news that this year we may see Huawei computer products equipped with Kirin PC chips coming out, which is appropriate to the rumored statement, which is also what many friends are looking forward to.

So why did the United States revoke its export license? I think it's probably related to AI PCs.

In fact, with the development of science and technology, the performance of electronic products has long been excessive. But in the past two years, artificial intelligence has sprung up, and it seems that the matter of chip performance has been heated up again. Along with this, AI+ mobile phones and AI+ computers seem to have become the next outlet, because as long as AI is glued, it will gain the attention of users, which will improve the possibility of users updating their devices. Therefore, at present, various computer manufacturers have begun to make efforts in the field of AI PC, and the competition in the latter part will definitely not be small.

So in terms of mobile phone chips, Huawei is actually no big problem. However, in terms of computer chips, it still mainly relies on American chip manufacturers such as Intel. For example, Huawei has just released its first AI laptop, the MateBook X Pro, which is equipped with Intel's latest Ultra 9 processor.

At present, AI PCs are mostly based on local computing + cloud computing, so as to reduce the computing power requirements of remote servers, thereby reducing costs. In other words, a part of the data will be computed locally first, which will also put forward higher performance requirements for the processor, otherwise it will seriously affect the normal use of the user, for example, if you have used the AI function, the computer will freeze or even freeze, who can stand this? Then, if you want to achieve the best user experience in the mode of local computing + cloud computing, the most important thing is the processor.

Therefore, revoking the export license of PC-side chips means that your AI PC production capacity will be limited, and in this market segment, you will lose competitiveness and opportunities. I have to say that his heart can be punished, what about the so-called free trade and free market? It's really a slap in the face!

In short, in the x86+Windows mode, Huawei has encountered unprecedented resistance, and if it wants to no longer be controlled by others, there is only one way ahead, that is, Kirin chip + HarmonyOS operating system. Although this combination is very popular for many friends who care about Huawei, there is a huge problem in this - the software ecology, which is also the biggest difficulty on the road to development.

We all know that after decades of development, there are countless software under Windows that can meet almost every need you can imagine. The HarmonyOS system is in the early stage of development, and the software ecosystem cannot be compared with Windows.

Although some common office software, entertainment software, including some games, there is no problem under the HarmonyOS system, but many relatively professional productivity tools are not good, such as PS, 3DMAX, etc., and these software play a huge role in our daily work, social operation and even national assumptions, and may even be irreplaceable. Therefore, this means that in the face of certain needs, you can't choose Hongmeng + Kirin core computer products, which will naturally have an impact on sales, and ultimately affect the company's revenue and profits.

But anyway, as I said just now, even if it is difficult, there is no other option, there is only one way, so whether it is the Kirin core or the Hongmeng system, it's over. I don't worry about the performance of the Kirin core, it has reached the mainstream level, mainly in the Hongmeng system. Therefore, I also hope that all friends who see my video can continue to support Huawei, use more HarmonyOS system and HarmonyOS software, and do what they can for the development of the HarmonyOS ecosystem. You must know that completely getting rid of the dependence on foreign operating systems, foreign chips, and foreign software will help maintain our national security, which is a major matter related to each of us.

In short, no matter whether the Battle of Tashan is true or not, it is simply impossible to defeat Huawei with a small export license, and it is a fool's dream.
