Huawei's road to breaking through under U.S. sanctions
In this digital age, the development of information technology has penetrated into all aspects of our lives. As one of the world's leading technology companies, Huawei has been driving the process of this technological revolution. In recent years, Huawei has also been hit by severe sanctions from the United States and is facing unprecedented challenges. With its unwavering spirit of independent innovation and persistent R&D investment, Huawei is breaking through many obstacles step by step and continuing to move towards the peak of science and technology.
Independent research and development of chips to build core competitiveness
Chips are the "heart" of modern electronic products and the cornerstone of information technology development. For a long time, the global chip industry has been monopolized by a few technology giants, and Huawei has also relied on imported chips for a long time. The U.S. sanctions have made Huawei realize the importance of autonomous and controllable chips. Huawei has embarked on a long and arduous road of independent R&D.
After years of hard work, Huawei has finally made a breakthrough in the field of chips. In August 2023, the Mate 60 Pro mobile phone equipped with Huawei's self-developed Kirin 9000S chip was officially released, and the performance of this chip is already comparable to the flagship products of Apple and Qualcomm. The Kirin 9000S is manufactured on a 7nm process, integrates 15.3 billion transistors, and has a maximum frequency of 2.62GHz, with outstanding performance. What's even more exciting is that this chip is completely designed and produced by Huawei, marking a key step for Huawei in terms of chip autonomy and control.
In addition to mobile phone chips, Huawei is also vigorously promoting the development and application of its own chips in the fields of servers and network communications. With its own controllable chips, Huawei has not only gotten rid of its dependence on external suppliers, but also laid a solid foundation for future innovation. As Ren Zhengfei, the founder of Huawei, said: "No chips, no food." "Chip autonomy and controllability are the only way for Huawei to achieve long-term development.
Increase investment in basic research and cultivate soil for innovation
Scientific and technological innovation is inseparable from the support of basic theoretical research. Huawei has long made basic research a top priority, investing billions of dollars every year in basic research. It is with this kind of persistent investment that Huawei has been able to make breakthroughs in the fields of communications and artificial intelligence.
In order to strengthen its basic research capabilities, Huawei has not only established a strong internal research team, but also carried out extensive cooperation with top universities and research institutions around the world. For example, Huawei has collaborated with French mathematician Laurent Laforgue to conduct cutting-edge research in the field of topology theory. Cooperate with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other domestic Dingle institutions to overcome a series of key core technologies. Through close collaboration between industry, academia, research and application, Huawei is paving the way for future technological innovation.
Huawei also attaches great importance to talent development. The company has thousands of scientists dedicated to basic research, and has attracted top talents from around the world to contribute to Huawei. It is with this strong scientific research team that Huawei has been able to make innovative breakthroughs in chips, communications, and artificial intelligence.
Accelerate the layout of emerging fields and seize the commanding heights of the future
In addition to the traditional communication and mobile phone business, Huawei is also vigorously expanding into emerging technology fields and striving to seize the commanding heights of the future.
Artificial intelligence is undoubtedly one of Huawei's most important areas. As early as 2018, Huawei launched its first AI chip, Ascend, and in 2023, it released the new "HarmonyOS Galaxy Edition" operating system, realizing complete independent research and development from the operating system kernel to the AI framework. With its powerful AI capabilities, Huawei's smartphones, tablets, and other products have performed well in speech recognition and image processing, and have been widely praised by consumers.
Huawei has also set its sights on the field of intelligent connected vehicles. Through cooperation with a number of car companies, Huawei is providing full-stack solutions for automobiles, such as intelligent cockpits and autonomous driving. The "Xiangjie" luxury smart car launched in cooperation with BAIC Blue Valley demonstrates Huawei's ambition in the automotive field. This car not only has a luxurious interior and exterior design, but also is equipped with Huawei's latest intelligent network system, which will bring users an unprecedented intelligent experience.
Whether it is artificial intelligence, intelligent connected vehicles, cloud computing, big data, and other emerging fields, Huawei is actively deploying and striving to seize the commanding heights of the future. With its strong technical strength and innovation capabilities, we believe that Huawei will be able to achieve remarkable results in these fields.
Looking back at Huawei's breakthrough path, we can see that independent innovation is the fundamental driving force for Huawei to continue to break through the encirclement. It is with its unwavering spirit of independent innovation that Huawei has been able to make major breakthroughs in key fields such as chips and artificial intelligence, laying a solid foundation for the company's long-term development.
