Huawei states that he is staying behind the chips. It is just what we want us to create

Huawei doesn’t like to get attention. He doesn’t want headlines. It is not generating too many and since 2019 The US veto and google occur The company has adopted a low profile and a shy, silent narrative. But as long as he does, Huawei does not stop growing and consolidating his role as one of the most important technology companies in the world. The silent leader. Ren Zhengfei (Anshun, 1944) founded Huawei in 1987 and is not only the company’s CEO: he is considered a spiritual leader. He doesn’t see it like that and affirms which is rather “a puppet leader (…). It only develops a symbolic role, like an idol of cement in a temple. Without it the temple would seem empty, but in reality the idol does nothing … that I am in Huawei or in Huawei has no real impact.” Who wants to be forgotten. Despite its absolute relevance, whether symbolic or not, Zhengfei has no intention of being in the foreground. His hope is in fact end up being forgotten. “I am just an old man. What is the point of reminding me? People should think more about the future and the world. My greatest desire is to have a coffee in a cafeteria without anyone noticing.” Zhengfei is known for his reserved and discreet character, and has transferred that way of being to his company. “Our chips are a generation behind the US”. The phrase is from the aforementioned Ren Zhengfei, which In an interview In the Chinese state media People’s Daily talked about his latest advances in semiconductors. There the head of this giant explained that the sanctions that prevent Huawei from obtaining or manufacturing state -of -the -art chips cause that “our chip continues a generation behind the US.” Better not believe it much. Huawei is Property of your employees And he has ties with the Popular Chinese Liberation Army, the country’s armed forces, of which Ren Zhengfei was part for several years. The commercial war has caused the company to adopt a very discreet profile, and REN’s comment on the state of its chips is possibly a strategy not to attract attention. Because although there may still be differences with the advances of the US, the Chinese giant does not stop expanding. For all without being noticed. I explained it William Huo, an expert who explained in China how Huawei is currently 25,000 million dollars a year on R&D. One of the results of these investments have been New Ascend chips for ia that has not been designed to overcome Nvidia chips, but to climb big. And there is a blunt example. Source: Semiianalysis Cloudmatrix 384. Huawei chips may not be so powerful, but their clusters are. It is demonstrated by the cloudmatrix 384, direct competitor of the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72. This monster has 384 GPUS Ascend 910C connected through an optical network that allows an interconnection at speeds much larger than those offered by copper cables of the Nvidia cluster. But it is also a complete cloudmatrix 384 system, as indicated in Semiianalysisoffer up to 300 flops (in BF16 accuracy) of computing, almost double what the NVL72 GB200 of NVIDIA offers. Not only that: it has the memory capacity 3.6 times and 2.1x times the memory bandwidth. The Huawei machine is an absolute beast, no matter how much its chips “are a generation behind” – which is debatable. The confusion. A few weeks ago there was talk of how the new laptop Huawei Matebook fold Huawei would be based on the promising Kirin X90 chip. That soc, manufactured by SMICit seemed to be manufactured with 5 Nm photolithographic node, but that was difficult. Especially since SMIC – La Foundry China that Try to follow the steps A TSMC or Samsung – has no access extreme ultraviolet photolithography equipment asml. How was I going to achieve it then? China advances in semiconductors. SMIC (semiconductor manufacturing international corp) is the largest Chinese semiconductor manufacturer, and has a quota of about 5% In the world market. The US veto has caused this manufacturer to have access to EUV equipment, but Some rumors They pointed to what He had achieved A 5 NM node with deep ultraviolet technology (UVP). It is not so, and new data reveal that the X90 does not use a node of 5 nm (N+3) but the already known 7 Nm (N+2) As it happened with the Kirin 9020. Be careful, because in SMIC they are working on their own lithography of 5 nm, and they seem be close to achieving it. And beyond, of course, The 3 nm. A wolf with lamb skin. Huawei does not usually generate headlines, but it seems just what he is looking for. And meanwhile, as Huo states, he manages to buy time in which the industry does not look so much in it. And meanwhile, scale without rest. But as this analyst says, not to pursue quarterly benefits, but to endure. Image | Rubaitul Azad In Xataka | USA says that Huawei will not be able to manufacture more than 200,000 AI chips in 2025. We know what the reason is

China is flooding from devices without a trace of Android. Huawei is the main responsible

Huawei’s ability to respond to the numerous restrictions imposed by the United States government is being the best example. The company is in the process of continuing to it to go beyond the Kirin 9020marking rhythm of launches with The Pure 80 Ultra and its Advanced Chamber Systemand achieving what no other manufacturer had achieved to date: create a real alternative to Android. Huawei is working for the plan. Harmonyos It is a strategic turn towards the technological self -sufficiency that China has been chasing for decades. An own operating system, with national code and without a trace of Android, the platform that Huawei used in the initial phases of the system. At the end of 2024, Huawei’s Annual Results Report He presumed that more than one billion devices had Harmonyos. In this first half of 2025, we have some more specific data. At all rag. According to Canals, Huawei has sent a total 103 million smartphones with Harmonyos and 21 million tablets from 2021 at the end of 2024. Of those 103 million, almost half (46 million) were sent last year, showing how the last two years are being key to the growth of the company. The data, without context, are only data. To understand at what point Huawei is located to know that, in 2021, the estimates of sale of smartphones gave Huawei 10 million. The figure is important and shows an upward trend: Huawei has gone from the free fall that suffered between 2021 and 2022 to a sustained recovery process in the last two years. In 2022 the figure doubled to almost 20, to end up arriving at 2025 at 46 million. More prohibitions, more shipments. The United States Plan to isolate Huawei in the world has a double edge. The company has collapsed in Europe and left its position to its sister honorbut the efforts to grow nationwide are clearer than ever. Huawei is triumphing in China, and the consultants point out that it will be one of the mobile companies that will grow the most global in 2025 (growth marked by the path they are following in China). A plan that will accelerate with the license restrictions that affect its PCs. Huawei can no longer sell Windows computers: the first solution is Patch existing ones with Linuxthe second, Sell ​​your own computers with Harmonyos. The dream, getting closer. Huawei has made restrictions the greatest opportunity for growth in its history. An approach towards A device with 100% national components, A universal software ecosystem (mobile, tablet, pc, car, wearables) and, most importantly, The only possible and alternative rival to Android out of Apple and his proposal with iOS. Huawei is drawing an alternative scenario in which every Chinese manufacturer who wants to disconnect from the United States can have Harmonyos alternative. It is something that begins to be seen in industries such as that of automotive: manufacturers like Toyota are so far back in software that The only possible solution is to bet on alternatives such as Huawei or Xiaomi. For the moment, Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo and even honor continue to see in Europe one of its main sales pillars. But China prepares to lead the technological worldand Harmonyos will play a fundamental role in their conquest. Image | Xataka In Xataka | Harmonyos shoots in China and already surpasses iOS. The following objective is global

Huawei wants cars to drive alone in the future. So he is already devising how to hide the steering wheel

China wants Lead the car race of the futureand for this he will need to win in Battery developmentimplementation of own semiconductorsvehicle software and … Autonomous driving. The country led by Xi Jinping is doing Check In several of these pillars, and Huawei assumes a good part of these victories. The company has been working for years to lead technologies associated with electric cars, and autonomous driving is one of the keys that characterize it. Related to it (and related to how Huawei understands luxury in cars that have their technology), we have clues about what their future proposals will be like. A steering wheel that hides. On June 6, Shenzhen Yinwang Intelligent Technology Co., LTD (subsidiary mostly participated by Huawei) registered a design patent before the National Office of Intellectual Property of China. This application refers to a retractable steering wheel, capable of being hidden in the command post. Once hidden. The patent does not refer to the exact operation, but shows a key related to its purpose: how the seat moves back when the steering wheel folds. The possible uses. Huawei has not detailed the scenarios of use, but there is a quite clear one: that when entering and leaving the vehicle, the steering wheel folds. Although the first thing that comes to mind has to do with Autonomous driving, The objective of the patent would also be related to the gain of space in the cabin. Relaxing the autonomous driving steering wheel is possible, but reserved for a very specific group of vehicles: those that have capabilities Autonomous conduction of type L4 and L5. Currently, there is not a single car in the world with these capabilities that we can buy as private users. In China, it is reserved for robotaxis like Baidu Apollo Goor the Waymo Alphabet in the United States. Vehicles with very restricted circulation and closed fleets. What is Yinwang and what does it do. Founded in January 2024, Shenzhen Yinwang Intelligent Technology Co., LTD is a subsidiary of Huawei under its majority participation. The remaining 20% ​​is in the hands of Avat (An independent manufacturer that is sold in Huawei’s own stores in China and has Huawei Harmonyos and Technologies) and Group beings. Born to transform the Huawei Intelligent Automotive Solution (Hias) division into one of the main technology providers for electric and autonomous cars. Yinwang is responsible for manufacturing and supplying smart systems for vehicles: algorithms, sensors, integration of harmonyos adapted to automotive, control of car elements such as thermal management, suspension or braking, etc. Among his clients are brands such as Aito, Luxeed or Avat, who enjoy Huawei technologies. How house with Huawei’s strategy. Huawei’s role in the world of electric car is different from rivals such as Xiaomi. Huawei does not make electric carsdevelops the necessary technologies for China to lead them. Ren Zhengfei, founder of the company, showed his rejection of commercial terms such as “Huawei Aito”, and made it clear that his plan is to associate with different companies to provide them with their automotive solutions. At the moment, he has managed to associate with giants like Chery to provide the Luxeed S7 of autonomous parkingfight to win the career of faster electric car loaderand collaborate with Aito To provide him with his software. Patents, patents are. It is important to clarify that the registration of a patent does not have to translate into an exact materialization of the idea collected.

USA says that Huawei will not be able to manufacture more than 200,000 AI chips in 2025. We know what the reason is

Jeffrey Kessler, Undersecretary of Commerce for Industry and Security of the US Department of Commerce, has done a few hours ago This statement in Congress: “Our evaluation indicates that the production capacity of Chips Ascend de Huawei by 2025 It will be 200,000 units or lessand we anticipate that the majority or all of that production will be delivered to companies within China. “ Besides, Kessler pointed out that “China is investing A lot of money to increase your chips production of artificial intelligence (AI), as well as the capabilities of the GPUs it produces. For this reason it is essential not to have a false sense of security and understand that China is reaching the US rapidly. “These statements express unambiguously how worried the US administration is in the development of China undergoing China in the field of AI. China goes only between three and six months behind the US in AI This is What David Sacks arguesan IA and cryptocurrency expert who exercises as an advisor to the Government of Donald Trump in this area. In addition, it acts as a link between the government and the American technology industry. The White House has clarified the statements of Sacks clarifying that this guru referred to AI models, so that Chinese chips are between one and two years behind their US equivalents. Earlier this week Ren Zhengfei, the founder and general director of Huawei, declared that the GPU Ascend of this Chinese company are still A generation behind of the chips for the US. His reflection is aligned with what the US government defends, but it is important that we do not overlook that Huawei invests more than 25,000 million dollars annually in the development of its hardware for AI, so presumably it will not take long to match the benefits of the GPUs produced by NVIDIA or AMD. Blea performance of integration technologies used by SMIC to produce Huawei GPUs has a very wide margin of improvement In any case, the prediction of Jeffrey Kessler about the production capacity of avant -garde chips for Huawei is sustained on an irrefutable fact: the performance by wafer of the integration technologies used by the Chinese semiconductor manufacturer SMIC (Semiconductor manufacturing international corp) To produce the Huawei GPUs it has a very wide margin. SMIC already has the ability to manufacture 6 Nm integrated circuits, and soon it can also produce 5 Nm semiconductors, but is limited by the performance of the deep ultraviolet lithography equipment (UVP) you have in your possession. It is meritorious that SMIC and Huawei engineers have managed to refine their integrated circuit manufacturing processes what is necessary to be able to produce 5, 6 and 7 nm chips With ASML UVP teams, but a priori it is very unlikely that with these machines they will be able to go beyond the 3 Nm. And it is because the technique of Multiple patterningwhich is what they are using, imposes important limitations. A note: This strategy in broad strokes consists in transferring the pattern to the wafer in several passes with the purpose of increasing the resolution of the lithographic process. His problem is that he usually has an upward impact on the cost of chips and the decline in production capacity. For Huawei it is a big problem not to have the necessary technology to produce avant -garde semiconductors comparable to those who manufacture Intel, TSMC or Samsung, so it is working on the development of its own team of extreme ultraviolet photolithography (UVE).

The SOC Kirin 9020 of Huawei demonstrates how much China has advanced with the chips. And also how much you have to do

Huawei and SMIC (Semiconductor manufacturing international corp) They go hand in hand in their adventure to sustain the Chinese semiconductor industry. The sanctions that The US government has deployed During the last two and a half years they seek to stop the development of Chinese companies that are dedicated to the design and manufacture of integrated circuits. The country’s semiconductor industry led by Xi Jinping brings together hundreds of companies, but these two are its spearhead. And they are because presumably are the ones that have the most resources at their disposal to innovate. And they are doing it. In fact, SMIC currently has the ability to manufacture Integrated 6 and 7 nm circuits. In addition, you are about to start 5 Nm chip production and plan to start Its first 3 nod nodes equipped with gaa transistors (Gate-alall-around) in 2026. It is not but that we are bad if we keep in mind that Chinese manufacturers do not have access to equipment extreme ultraviolet photolithography (UVE) of ASML, which are the ideal to produce these semiconductors. The Soc Kirin 9020 is a half success The launch of the new smartphones family Huawei pure 80 It invites us to take a look at your SOC to identify what it proposes and what integration technology is involved in its manufacture. This chip has been produced by SMIC in its 7 Nm node and class N+2. This terminology indicates that it is a 7 Nm and second generation lithograph Mate 60 Pro of Huawei. SMIC already has the ability to manufacture integrated circuits of 6 nm. And soon you can also produce 5 nm chips We have not yet had the opportunity to try any of the pure family 80 smartphones equipped with this SOC, but it is reasonable to anticipate that it will give users a satisfactory experience. Even so, it is evident that your performance by watt will not be comparable to that of The soc that manufactures TSMC in its nodes of 3 and 5 nm. As I mentioned a few lines above, SMIC already has the ability to manufacture integrated 6 NM circuits, and soon it can also produce 5 Nm semiconductors, but it is limited by the performance of the deep ultraviolet lithography equipment (UVP) you have in your possession. It is meritorious that SMIC and Huawei engineers have managed to refine their integrated circuit manufacturing processes what is necessary to produce chips of 5, 6 and 7 nm with the ASML UVP equipment, but a priori it is very unlikely that with these machines they will be able to go beyond the 3 Nm. And it is because the technique of Multiple patterningwhich is what they are using, imposes important limitations. A note: This strategy in broad strokes consists in transferring the pattern to the wafer in several passes with the purpose of increasing the resolution of the lithographic process. His problem is that he usually has an upward impact on the cost of chips and the decline in production capacity. For China it is a big problem not to have the necessary technology to produce avant -garde semiconductors comparable to those who manufacture Intel, AMD or Qualcomm, among other western alignment companies. The great hope of the country led by Xi Jinping is having as soon as possible Your own UVE photolithography teamsand it seems that they are close. In fact, A filtration has revealed that Huawei is already testing a prototype of one of these machines. If this information is finally confirmed and China has its commercial UVE machines in 2026 will have taken a crucial step in its pulse with the US.

Huawei has created the most complex photographic system in the industry. The pure 80 ultra is the reflection of an unstoppable huawei

Huawei has just presented its new pure family 80, smartphones that not only stand out for the engineering exercise that this generation has made, but because it is the main representatives of the technological point is the company in front of the rest of the world. Four models: Huawei pure 80, pure 80 pro, pure 80 pro+ and pure 80 ultra. The pure 80 ultra It is a national muscle exercise and A clear message to the rest of the world. A telephone that comes to show that Huawei, despite the limitations imposed by the United States, is in one of its best moments at the innovation level. Technical Card of Pura 80 Ultra Huawei Huawei pure 80 ultra Dimensions and weight 163 x 76.1 x 8.3 mm 233.5 g SCREEN 6.8 -inch OLED 2848 x 1276 pixels Ltpo 120 Hz, PWM 1440 Hz 300 Hz tactile sampling 3000 Nits Pico Brillo Kunlun Glass 2 PROCESSOR Without specifying (Kirin 9020) RAM 512 /1 TB STORAGE 16 GB BATTERY 5,700mah 100W by cable 80W wireless Reversible wireless 20 Rear cameras 50 MP, F/1.6-4.0, 1 inch, OIS 50 MP, F/2.4, 83mm, Zoom 3.7x Sensor Shift OIS 50 MP, F/2.4, 212mm, Zoom 9.4x Shit OIS Sensor (There is only one sensor for the two teleobjectives) 40 MP, F/2.2, 13mm, Ultra great angle Laser AF Front camera 13 MP, F2.0 Operating system Harmonyos 5.1 Connectivity Double -band wifi Bluetooth 5.2 NFC (China) USB c PRICE From 1,217 euros to change Look well this camera, because you are going to hallucinate with its operation. The summary. The Pura 80 Ultra Huawei is a muscle exhibition. Starting from what corresponds to any high range, we find a 6.8 -inch screen, an LTPO type oleed with 3,000 nits peak shine. Memory can be configured with up to 1 TB of internal storage and 16 GB of RAM, and the battery is 5,700mAh with fast charging of 100W. Slightly curved front. Huawei has not mentioned the chip, but it has not been long to know that both this model and the pro+ assemble the same Kirin 9020 that we saw in the Huawei Mate 70 Pro. It is a processor made of architecture of seven Nanometers of SMIC, the Chinese giant in semiconductors that is helping Huawei materialize his dream of achieving a device made only with national components. The groundbreaking. Reviewed the basic specs, Huawei wanted to be dominant in a section in which they have never lowered the rhythm: the camera. This telephone incorporates an inch sensor, which promises the greatest dynamic range of the industry. But here the star is not the main sensor, it is the teleobjective. With a size of 1.28 inches, the teleobjective of the pure 80 ultra is the largest in the industry. Such is its size, which Huawei has inclined its position so that the height of the camera module does not shoot. And, not happy with achieving this technical implementation, they have released something unique in mobile photography: get two teleobjectives with a single sensor. Two distances, a sensor. This 50 megapixel sensor allows 3.7 and 9.7 increases optical zoom. And no, it is not thanks to the digital zoom. The company has patented a simply spectacular system. What you see in the upper image is the sensor (the inclined, pink) to which light reflected through a prism is reaching. That prism moves through the module mechanically (using a gear system that literally displace it by the surface). According to the position of the prism and the mirror to which the light will reflect, the phone will shoot with a teleobjective or other. They are also the first teleobgers stabilized by SHIFT sensor (sensor stabilization), instead of OIS. A technology historically reserved for the main sensor, which has a traditional optical stabilizer. The results that Huawei has shown are impressive, especially in low light. Zoom 3.7x. This is, by far, the most advanced teleobjective system in the world. A solution to the problem of modular size and a photographic muscle exhibition as we had not seen to date. Let’s talk about the. Chatgpt and Google surprised the world with their ways with real -time processing and video of everything that saw the camera of our mobile. A function as powerful as terrifying that brings us closer to a future similar to that of ‘Her’. Huawei’s AI can already see by the user and interact in real time with its context. Huawei, with the help of Deepseek And Pangu has achieved an identical result. The pure 80 ultra, through its Xiaoyi voice assistant, can analyze in real time everything we show with the camera. It is an exclusive function of Harmonyos and Hongmeng AI, and another sample of where China is now in the AI ​​race. Huawei literally calls it like this: anti-mirones protection. There are curious functions also based on AI. If the device detects that there is someone looking at our screen, the system will let us know so we can realize. With the launch of the pure huawei, Huawei announced collaboration with Depseek to improve its AI. They have not taken to show with this pure 80 ultra of what they are capable in this first stage. National hardware? After launch From Huawei Matebook Fold, they jumped weeks later relative leaks of the milestone that Huawei is achieving with his own hardware. A good part of the chips of this PC were made with Huawei. It is soon to know the interior of the pure huawei 80 ultra, but the key that surrounds this device is what is capable of making Huawei in the highest range of mobile phones. All probability, there will be surprises in your disassembly. Doubts mainly fall on Ryyb camera sensors, since It is rumored that the company has almost lists its approaches. The price. The Pura 80 Ultra Huawei will be sold in China from 9,999 yuan, 1,217 euros to change. It accumulates in its launch more than 200,000 reservations and … Read more

“The chips for Huawei are a generation behind the US.” Ren Zhengfei, founder of Huawei says it

Ren Zhengfei, the founder and general director of Huawei, has made very interesting statements during a conversation with a Chinese journalist from Diario del Pueblo. According to this executive “the Huawei GPUs are still A generation behind of the chips for artificial intelligence (AI) of the US “. A priori it is surprising that the head of this company publicly makes recognition as sharp as this. However, this is not all. In addition, Zhengfei argues that “the US has exaggerated Huawei’s abilities. We are not so strong yet.” His words They arrive at a very important moment For the company that leads. And it is that little more than a month ago two new chips for AI, the GPUs Ascend 910d and 920with which he aspires to gradually snatch the leadership in performance in AI applications that holds both in China and beyond the borders of this Asian country. Correctly understand Zhengfei’s statements requires putting them in context This reflection of the general director of Huawei has not arrived at any time. Currently the governments of the US and China They are negotiating in London The scenario and the conditions in which their commercial relations will be developed in the future, and Huawei has a leading role in this conflict. After all, it is next to SMIC (Semiconductor manufacturing international corp), The largest Chinese chips, China’s spearhead in the technology industry in general and in the semiconductor sector and the AI ​​in particular. All probability the words of Zhengfei seek to take Huawei away from the Center for Care, and, therefore, relieve the pressure to which this company is currently subjected. However, this does not mean that he is lying and has affirmed something that does not really believe. Jensen Huang, the general director of Nvidia, has declared A few days ago, China is not behind in front of the US in AI. And the solvency of Deepseek, Ernie, Qwen, Pangu, Hunyuan or Sensenova endorses its analysis. In inference processes the latest chips of the Ascend family of Huawei are very competitive However, Ren Zhengfei has strain the hardware that Huawei has. It does not talk about the capacities or competitiveness of the great language models for the developed in China. In inference processes the latest chips of the Ascend family They are very competitive. An note before moving forward: inference is broadly the computational process carried out by language models with the purpose of generating the responses that correspond to the requests they receive. However, it is currently reasonable to assume that the NVIDIA GPUs deliver a higher performance in the training processes of the great AI models. All probability this is the idea about The statement of Zhengfei. However, there is more than we should not overlook if we want to understand in all its extension the words of this executive. Chinese culture is solidly strengthened about traditional values ​​that, despite lasting for more than two millennia, are still very present in current Chinese idiosyncrasy. Modesty (qiānxū), humility (qiānxùn) or (qiānbēi), serenity (chénzhuó) or (dàndìng) and respect for rivals (zūnzhòng duìshou) are values ​​that have traditionally been intimately linked to the Chinese character. And there is no doubt that Zhengfei’s words give off this cultural and philosophical. It is difficult to identify the exact historical moment in which these fundamental values ​​were imbricated in Chinese culture, but, curiously, they are very present in ‘The art of war’the classic work that the Chinese strategist Sun Tzu wrote around the 5th century.

Huawei is China’s winning horse and is even leading where he seemed to death: in mobiles

2025 will not be an easy year for telephony. The consultants They are checking down Growth forecasts of giants such as Apple and Samsung, hoping that the geopolitical impact of the commercial war will translate into higher prices in key markets such as the United States. The growth perspective in global shipments is especially low, and will be mainly starring Chinese manufacturers. Among them, there is one in which all expectations are set. One with the potential to shake the industry. All eyes put in Huawei. There is no worldwide manufacturer that grows more shipments than Huawei. It is something that We warn at the beginning of the yearin a global photograph of Canals that showed some interannual contraction for Apple and Samsung numbers (they lost 1% compared to 2024), and in which Huawei grew no less than 36%. A wild figure, taking into account that its local rivals such as Xiaomi, Honor or Live grew by about 15%. Less than half of what Huawei was achieving. An unstoppable trend. Ethan qiAssociate Director of Canalys, expects the Chinese manufacturer to remain a leader for 2025. Although not much further in its analysis regarding the relaxation of bottlenecks so that Huawei can stock up on critical components, there are several key points that explain why the Chinese company has all ballots to lead world growth this year. Among them, how will tariff pressure, Chinese technological nationalism of Huawei consumers play in favor of Chinese companies, The thrust with SMIC for the manufacture of Kirin chips and the turn Towards a domestic supply chain for close the circle. Without fear of own hardware. After the American veto, Huawei has focused all its efforts on achieving a product without external dependence. And he has achieved it. Huawei Mate 70 was the company’s first phone with Kirin 9020, A chip developed in silence and who planted the United States, a country that could not understand how were 5g chips developing despite the sanctions. Although this processor is manufactured under the lithographic process of 7 NM of SMIC, and notably below those manufactured by TSMC with its N3E lithographythe demand for mate 70 It has been high in China. However, if Huawei wants to continue pushing on national soil, he needs to prioritize a very concrete product: the mid -range mobile. The mid -range as a key. In Spain we are not the only ones who bet on quality-price mobiles. At the beginning of 2025, the Chinese demand of smartphones concentrated on the strip of 2,000 to 5,000 yuan (240 and 609 euros to change). Here Huawei places his Nova rangeone of its main sales engines in China. National policies of Subsidies Sales continue to warm up of smartphones, having added two to three percentage points to their growth in the first quarter of 2025, according to estimates. Huawei, together with the support of its local suppliers and SMIC, is at its best to aim with this family of products to its national soil. All to pure 80. Although the growth of Huawei in China will depend on a good part of the efforts that focus on their best -selling ranges, all eyes are now put on The pure huawei 80his Flagship family and a great opportunity to demonstrate what their efforts are being materialized to achieve self -sufficiency. They will be presented on June 11, and They already have more than 200,000 reservations without even having gone to the market. The great hope. Huawei’s role is key in China. He is not just the protagonist in the race to lead the manufacture of smartphones with SMIC, It is because of its potential to create chips for iaas his family Asce 910. This chip will play a key role in the effort for reduce national dependence with American manufacturers such as NVIDIApointing in front of their A100 and H100. Presumably, SAQC technology will allow SMIC to manufacture 3 Nm chipswhile they would be About to achieve capacity to make 5 Nm chips No need for access to equipment extreme ultraviolet photolithography asml. A way to travel that leads to an inevitable destination: sooner or later, China will be the world chips leader. Image | Huawei In Xataka | Best Mobile Huawei (2025).

Huawei is getting unstoppable. Everything he is doing seeks to beat Nvidia in both in China and beyond

Huawei is determined to gradually absorb the market share that keeps Nvidia in China. Until just a few months ago this last company monopolized Something more than 90% of the Chinese market of the chips for artificial intelligence (AI), but after the entry into force of the last US sanctions package its leadership is all likely to be compromised. Even so, Nvidia has a very important asset that is helping her defend her presence in the Chinese market: CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture). Most of the AI ​​projects that are currently being developed are implemented on CUDA. This technology brings together the compiler and development tools used by programmers to develop their software for NVIDIA GPUs, and replace it with another option in the projects that are already underway it is a problem. Huawei has Cann (Compute Architecture for Neural Networks), which is its alternative to CUDA, but for the moment CUDA dominates the Chinese market. These are the two great buzas of Huawei to beat Nvidia Huawei wants to snatch the leadership in performance in AI applications from NVIDIA. His most ambitious proposal right now is the chip Ascend 910dwho seeks to overcome the performance of the GPU NVIDIA H100. However, this Chinese company has also recently presented its chip Ascend 920a solution that is clearly destined to occupy in the Chinese market the gaps that it will leave The H20 GPU of Nvidia. This proposal will enter large -scale production during the second half of 2025 using 6 NM integration technology that have presumably developed elbow with Huawei elbow and SMIC. It is evident that to grow in the market is essential have good hardwarebut it is also crucial to position itself strongly in training the great language models, in Inference processesor, better yet, in both contexts. “Training is important, but it only happens a few times. Huawei focuses mainly on inference, which will ultimately give us access to more customers.” This declaration of Georgios Zacharopoulos, a senior researcher of AI who works on the acceleration of inference in the Huawei laboratory in Zurich (Switzerland) clearly reflects The effort that this company has made for years to dominate inference: “Training is important, but only a few times. Huawei focuses mainly on inference, which will ultimately give us access to more customers.” Inference is broadly the computational process carried out by language models with the purpose of Generate the answers which correspond to the requests they receive. In any case, the information we have reflects that the GPU Ascend 910D will allow Huawei to compete with the chips for the most advanced NVIDIA both in inference and in training. The US response to the steps that Huawei is not taking long to arrive. And is that the Department of Commerce has approved a resolution whereby no country on the planet can buy the GPUs for the Ascend de Huawei. According to this American institution, this Chinese company has produced these chips using US technologies illegally, so its export outside the country borders governed by Xi Jinping violates the export controls of the Department of Commerce. In practice to the US it will cost a lot to control the commercial flow of the GPUs for Huawei outside China, especially when these semiconductors They go to allies of the latter country. Its strategy to exert pressure on countries interested in getting the Huawei chips is to announce fines, the possibility of revoking export rights, and even establishing criminal consequences.
