Huawei is building its own alternative ecosystem to CUDA. If it succeeds, NVIDIA will have a serious problem

by

When talking about NVIDIA, almost all the focus is on the hardware: the H100Blackwell, racksenergy consumption, nanometers… It is understandable, but it is a mistake. The defensive moat – the moat– NVIDIA is not the hardware. Is CUDA. CUDA is not an add-on to the chip, it is the de facto standard upon which most of the AI ​​code on the planet is written, optimized and debugged. Changing GPUs without changing CUDA does not exist. And switching from CUDA means rewriting years of work. That is why it is a moat. Why is it important. Huawei’s big bet is not to “make a Chinese H100.” It is to build a path for the developer to reach Ascend without feeling like you are changing planets. The restrictions are accelerating it. Exports have split the world in two: An ecosystem that revolves around NVIDIA. And another that China is trying to lift against the clock. In that second, Huawei is not just playing chips: is playing “ecosystem”in AI and outside of it. And therein lies the nuance: you can be years behind in chips and still reduce dependency if you get the software to swallow. In detail. Huawei is attacking the problem on three fronts, with a pragmatically Chinese logic: not to replace everything at once, but to open shortcuts. Native stack (CANN + MindSpore). It is your “pure” alternative: your own environment and your own tools to get the most out of Ascend. The cost today is high, there are complaints of instability, the documentation is rather messy, and the community is much smaller. PyTorch support. This is the most strategic move. Huawei does not try to make the world love its framework– Try to ensure that the world doesn’t have to leave PyTorch. torch_npu acts as an adapter to run PyTorch models on Ascend, but with one problem: it is not native and suffers with every PyTorch change. If PyTorch advances and your backend lags behind, the developer notices. Portability via ONNX. Here Huawei looks for its best window: inference and deployment, not training. ONNX works as a bridge format: you train where you can (often NVIDIA) and deploy to Ascend. It’s a less romantic and more useful approach: if shortages hit, moving inference to local hardware is an immediate relief. Between the lines. The real story is that Huawei is trying to replicate the “trick” that made NVIDIA great: turning its hardware into an experience. That’s why the tactic that explains everything appears: putting engineers in the client’s home to migrate code and optimize it. It is not scalable as a business model, but it is scalable as a transition model: you buy time while you mature tools, libraries and support. And there is another derivative: if China gets enough teams to adopt Ascend out of necessity, over time that can become habit and then infrastructure. Not because it is better, but because it is already integrated. Yes, but. Huawei has two limits that cannot be fixed with marketing: Hardware improvement rate: Roadmap analysis suggests relative stagnation and a gap that could widen, not close, if NVIDIA continues to accelerate cycles. Off-chip bottlenecks: memory (HBM), tools and industrial capacity. You can add “worse” chips, but you need to make a lot of them and build a lot of systems. And now what. If this movie continues, we will see two clear signs: Less hype of chips and more real migration stories: how many computers have moved to Ascendwith what frictions, with what performance losses. Less obsession with training in Ascend and more normalization of the hybrid pattern: I train where I can, I deploy where I must. NVIDIA will continue to be CUDA. Huawei is not “a chip.” It is an escape strategy. And the restrictions are the fuel that is making it inevitable. In Xataka | With HarmonyOS NEXT Huawei has achieved something incredible.

Huawei has a patent with which to manufacture 2nm chips. The only problem is that it’s just a patent.

by

Huawei has just applied for a patent in which a new and unique process of advanced chip production. The patent focuses on improving one of the limitations of the technology of deep ultraviolet photolithography (UVP) to try to compete in this way with the extreme ultraviolet machines (UVE) to which China still unable to access. There are, however, many uncertainties here. The patent. Huawei formally submitted the technical documentation in June 2022 to the Chinese patent office, allowing the invention to be “protected” since then. The detailed content of their study was made public in January 2025, but It is now that it has come to light. The patent is only applied for, not granted or granted. The patent office is examining the application to determine if it meets the requirements. Why is it important. This patent tries to address the limitations of the so-called edge placement error (EPE, Edge Placement Error) in the advanced interconnection process used when manufacturing advanced chips. The method discovered makes it theoretically possible to use “metal spacings” smaller than 21 nm, even when using deep ultraviolet (UVP) technology instead of extreme ultraviolet (UVE), which is the most advanced photolithographic technology today… and to which Chinese manufacturers like Huawei do not have access. If it achieves its objective, the firm could have access, for example, to chips that would theoretically compete even with chips made with 2nm photolithography. Metal spacing? That term (metal pitch in English) refers to the minimum distance that exists between the metal lines that form the interconnections within the integrated circuit or, in this case, the chip. These lines carry power and data signals between the transistors, and that metal spacing is extraordinarily small for advanced nodes. The objective of the patent is precisely to allow the manufacture of these lines with a spacing of less than 21 nm. This gives rise to a possible process that could compete with the 2nm UVE photolithography used, for example, by TSMC. The important word there is “could.” Edge Placement Error (EPE). EPE is the error that occurs when a pattern on a chip is not placed exactly where it was intended by the chip design. The closer that metal spacing is, the smaller the EPE margin must be to prevent the lines from touching and causing a short circuit. At this scale it is incredibly complex to solve this problem, and Huawei’s patent precisely proposes a way to achieve it. Supervitaminizing “old” lithography. What makes this method possible is that UVP photolithography, less powerful and advanced than UVE, can be used to compete with it. This method would allow “jumping” the limits that this process now faces, and which normally had many difficulties in going beyond 21 nm. A double hard mask process of two materials and a special patterning scheme are introduced that theoretically allow us to go below 21 nm. and even 5 nm which are already very complicated to achieve with EUV. In short: China could achieve advanced chips without the need for use the most advanced ASML machinesto which you do not have access. But. Although the technique is apparently striking, there are two big problems here. The first and most important is that this is just a patent and that does not mean that the process can be transferred to reality. The difficulties in doing so are enormous, and that leads us to the second problem: the effectiveness of production would probably be very low and the yield (process success rate) would be greatly affected. That is to say: of all the chips theoretically produced with this technique, only a small part would be valid, which would waste a huge part of the investment. In Xataka | In its race to make advanced chips, China has tried to copy ASML. It’s going wrong

Huawei lost to Google, Qualcomm and TSMC. What he didn’t lose was something more important: his reputation.

by

Last week were the Xataka Awards 2025. Stella Li, global vice president of BYD, took the Xataka Legend. He Galaxy S25 Ultra It swept the super high range. Freepik was crowned as best Spanish technology company. It was a night of proper names, drinks and conversations with readers. But There is a prize that, for those of us who spend a lot of time in Xatakaas workers or as readers, has a special weight. Not because of its glamour, but because of what it represents. The Community Award is not decided by any jury. There are no internal debates. You, the readers, decide with your votes. It is the device that you liked the most, without filters. In fact, it is the only one that is not delivered by any employee of the house, but rather by members of the community who represent it on stage. In the image that heads this article, three of them with Cristina Isidoro, PR Manager of Huawei in Spain, who collected the award. Because this year he won it Huawei Watch GT 6 Pro. And when I saw the result, I smiled slightly: it was more than just a reward for a well-made smartwatch. It was pure symbolism. Look at the historical list of winners of this award: Almost all, Chinese devices or devices with a Chinese soul that share a pattern: focus on value for money, practical innovation, and in some cases, arriving wanting to break molds. But among all of them, Huawei is the only one that did not arrive yesterday promising a lot for little. It is the only one that was already in the world elite, disputing the throne with Samsung and in fact about to snatch it awaybefore the United States decided to use it as a pawn in its trade war. Because Huawei has not conquered the perception of premium quality by offering more gigabytes for fewer euros. It conquered it by being, for years, simply a great option. He P20 Pro It was the first mobile phone with a triple camera that really worked. The Mate 20 Pro was an unapologetic technical beast compared to the high-end greats. Their MateBook laptops have been worthy rivals of the Surface. And their GT watches already stood out for batteries that lasted weeks when Apple asked for a charger every night. They weren’t cheap. They were good. And that difference, in the technology market, is abysmal. Then 2019 arrived. EntityList. American veto. Goodbye Google, goodbye Qualcomm, goodbye TSMC. Sales outside China plummeted and the Western narrative was unanimous: Huawei was dead. Without the Google ecosystem, without access to the supply chain, it was impossible to survive in this business. But no one explained to them that it was impossible. Instead of giving up, they built their own universe. HarmonyOS on more than a billion devices. Kirin Chips own, then Ascend for AI. Huawei Cloud growing in Asia, Africa and Latin America. They didn’t beg to go back to Google Play like we might perhaps have expected them to do. They simply built another entire ecosystem. Without one word higher than another. At the beginning of the month I was in China and was able to try several of their devices, including some that just left there. The premium feel is real. And something that we do have here, the GT 6 Pro, is not a gadget 150 euros that promises too much and falls halfway. It is a watch in the 400 euro range that performs very well. and the community of Xataka has passed sentence with his prize. That doesn’t happen by chance. Xiaomi shines in value for money. Realme and Oppo play there. Nothing has its aesthetic indie. But Huawei is the only Chinese brand that, when you mention it, the European consumer automatically thinks of “serious quality”, without the asterisks that others have. And she did it right after they tried to destroy her. The Huawei Watch GT 6 Pro is a great watch. But winning the 2025 Community Award means something else: It is the recognition of the only Chinese brand that has come out of the perception low cost without giving up its origin. It is the prize that, in a way, China had been pursuing for decades. Respect without conditions. And it has been won by a company that they tried to annihilate. Sometimes vetoes don’t kill. They forge legacies. Featured image | Xataka In Xataka | The LG OLED Signature AI T4 is the best television of the year for a simple reason: we are saying goodbye to the black monolith

Huawei is coming back. And not everyone is prepared for what is coming

by

In China it has already happened. Huawei has gone from being practically dead after the US sanctions of 2019 to lead its domestic market again in 2025 with a 18.1% share. This national resurgence has not been a stroke of luck or the result of blind nationalism (although his subsequent resurgence helped), rather it has been a matter of engineering and strategy: But China is just Act I. Act II, the global leap, is in progress. And when Huawei presses the button, the consumer electronics market will change. Again. What’s stopping them… at the moment There are two things holding Huawei out of China: chips. The current Kirin chips, manufactured in 7 nm by SMIC, work but are two generations behind the Snapdragon or the 3nm Apple Silicon. That means less energy efficiency, less raw power. More importantly: production capacity is limited. SMIC can’t manufacture in volume like TSMC, at least not yet. Huawei can make competitive 5G smartphones, but it can’t make enough to saturate global markets. Software. The other bottleneck. HarmonyOS can boast of being the second mobile ecosystem in China, even surpassing iOS in share. But outside of China, the equation changes. Without Google Play Services, without the complete catalog of Western apps, convincing a European or Latin American user to abandon Android is asking them for a leap of faith. Huawei knows this, that’s why it has invested a lot of money for six years to build AppGallery and its own services. But breaking the inertia of a consolidated duopoly requires more than good intentions: it requires critical mass. Even so, these brakes are, if all goes well, temporary: When both reach the minimum threshold—sufficient chips and viable ecosystem—Huawei will make the leap. And he will not do it timidly. He will do it with the aggressiveness of someone who has been preparing in silence for five years. The scene that no one wants to name Huawei Pura 80 Ultra. Image: Andrey Matveev. There is an uncomfortable question floating in the air: What if Huawei doesn’t come back alone? What if other Chinese brands (Oppo, Xiaomi, Vivo, Realme) adopt HarmonyOS instead of Android? It seems like science fiction, but let’s remember that the Chinese government has been promoting OpenHarmony as a “strategic national operating system.” And that the Chinese government has hinted that companies should reduce their dependence on Android and Windows. That in an environment of increasing technological friction with the West, having our own ecosystem is a matter of survival. If that happens—and political pressure makes it increasingly feasible—the map changes. Android would not lose a manufacturer, it would lose all the big Chinese. Samsung would remain practically Google’s only relevant ally outside of the Apple ecosystem. And HarmonyOS would go from being a local Chinese curiosity to a real global third pole. Not tomorrow, but not in a decade either. In three or four years at most. Besides, andn China Huawei is no longer just consumer electronics: it is an automotive player. Its automotive division has become a key technology partner for several local brands, from Aito until Arcfox. It doesn’t manufacture cars, but it puts the brain into it: sensors, software, connectivity, digital platform. There are already complete “Huawei Inside” models there. That muscle did not exist before the US blockade. And now it is part of the Huawei that could reach Europe: one capable of entering your pocket, your wrist, your home… and also your car. It seems familiar to us. Meanwhile in Europe… Huawei has done something interesting in Europe: not disappear. Here Sales of its smartphones suffered a brutal collapse overnight. Not being able to include Google services was lethal. But they did continue to sell other products: They are the products that do not depend on Google. And they keep the brand visible, preserve the memory of what Huawei was… and pave the way for a better tomorrow. Every GT watch or set of FreeBuds headphones someone buys in Europe is a seed of future loyalty. It is a party waiting in the trenches for it to die down while the others assumed that they would withdraw from the battle. AND Europe will be precisely its real test. No China, they have already won there. Not the United States, where sanctions and market inertia make any short-term operation impossible. Europe, where Huawei became a sales leader and where it built prestige with its commitment to Leica, where there is a certain brand nostalgia and above all where there is no formal veto on its products. Huawei has been in charge of closing local gaps. For example, a bridge to make mobile payments from its platform that compensates for forced trade restrictions. If they manage to offer a good enough ecosystem – it doesn’t even have to be perfect, just enough – there is a market. Because what we (neither consumers nor the industry) cannot forget is that Huawei was never just hardware. It was always a complete value proposition: design, cameras, ecosystem integration. At first, with mediocre quality while being friendly. But then it got better. That doesn’t go away because they block your access to Google for five years. It reinvents itself. The window opens Huawei has already announced its plans to relaunch its smartphones in up to 60 countries. Starting with emerging markets, where its reputation was not so eroded and where US restrictions have less political weight. Europe’s time will come. And when it does, with Kirin chips in volume and a more mature HarmonyOS, the market will shake up. Samsung will have to accelerate, the rest of the Chinese manufacturers – which occupied the space that Huawei freed up, with Xiaomi at the helm – will face a rival that, in addition to returning, will do so without the dependencies that the rest drag, and even Apple can see in them a threat in the medium term. Huawei has been building autonomy for five years while many of us considered it finished. Or … Read more

The EU is considering banning the installation of mobile network equipment from Huawei or ZTE. It is a dangerous strategy

by

The European Commission (EC) is exploring ways to get member states stop using telecommunications equipment from Chinese sellers like Huawei or ZTE. Tension between Europe and China is escalating once again, and it is not at all clear that this decision will be beneficial for European companies. Huawei in Europe no, thanks. On Bloomberg cite sources close to these plans and talk about how the vice president of this organization, Henna Virkkunen, has adopted a very forceful position. Virkkunen apparently wants to completely stop the use of Huawei telecommunications equipment with an eye-catching argument: making that a legal requirement. It wouldn’t matter what each country thought.. Years ago the EU has already recommended avoiding Chinese telecommunications equipment as far as possible, but it was a suggestion without a mandatory nature and the member states were the ones to decide in this area. Spain, for example, has continued using this equipment. The Commission’s theoretical proposal would legally force EU countries to break commercial ties with these companies. Failure to comply with the requirement could expose these countries to economic sanctions. Before they were suggestions. At the beginning of 2020 the European Union announced those recommendations under the name “5G Toolbox”. At that time they warned of the risks but left room for maneuver to the member states. Now we go from a soft recommendation to a legal imposition, because that “Toolbox” was voluntary. The national security argument. The argument is the same as that used in the past: Euro officials fear the risks associated with using communications equipment from companies (such as Huawei) so closely linked to the Chinese government. Maintaining these teams, this strategy suggests, could compromise national security. And be careful with countries outside the EU. The EU’s plan is not only for member countries to abandon these teams, but to pressure countries outside the EU to do so as well. Thus, it would try to block the use of program funds Global Gateway if those who use them spend them buying Huawei equipment. The operators, harmed. European telecommunications companies also appear to oppose this plan. First of all, they indicate in Bloomberg, because Huawei technology is often cheaper and even superior to Western alternatives from Nokia or Ericsson. And second, because replacing existing equipment is extremely expensive and can delay current and future deployments. internal division. In the absence of confirmation of the EC plan, there is another key element: there is internal division among EU members. Germany and Finland continue to deliberate on what restrictions to impose, while Spain and Greece continue to purchase telephone equipment from these manufacturers. What they say in China. Lin Jian, spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Minister, has indicated that when certain countries forcibly eliminate telecommunications equipment from Chinese firms like Huawei, they not only slow down their technological progress, but also suffer economic losses. He further added that “We urge the #EU to provide a fair, transparent and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese companies and avoid undermining business confidence in investing in Europe.” Let’s remember Sweden. In 2020, Sweden decided to ban the use of telecommunications equipment from Chinese manufacturers with the same argument that we already know about national security. That theoretically favored the local company, Ericsson, but its CEO criticized the Swedish government’s decision precisely because he knew what was going to happen. Revenge is served on a cold plate. And what happened is that China retaliated. A few months later, China Mobile announced budgets and contracts to boost the country’s telecommunications infrastructure, and Ericsson was the biggest loser. The company had almost 11% market share before the government’s decision: today its share does not reach 2%. Dangerous veto. If confirmed and made effective, the veto on being able to use telecommunications equipment in the European Union is dangerous precisely for the same reason that happened with Sweden. China continues to be a great commercial ally of China despite being more aligned with the US in areas such as semiconductors. With these types of actions, Europe positions itself even more closely with the Trump government, something that is somewhat surprising because Europe already came out badly after the agreement with tariffs.

repeat the path that took Huawei to the top

by

They have a “total mobile.” His Oppo Find X9 Pro It’s a beast. A call to which we have given the highest rating of the year on our analysis table. After a time away from Europe, the Chinese manufacturer has returned. And in what way. Its presentation in Barcelona was quite a declaration of intent. A global launch event where we were also able to learn about the vision of its main managers in Europe and Spain. Oppo has only two national rivals ahead of it in China, according to Counterpoint data. Huawei and Vivo, two large manufacturers that, fortunately for Oppo, do not currently have as much reach in Europe. Its great rival is Xiaomi, which in Spain has been ahead for years but this is not the case in China. Will Oppo be able to repeat the feat that Huawei achieved in its day of placing itself at the top of the top mobile manufacturers? It’s too early for that, but they do have a unique opportunity to achieve it. Willing to break the current deck “The European market is one of the most important strategic markets for Oppo abroad. We believe it is our largest growth space,” he explains. Elvis Zhou, CEO of Oppo Europein a group interview in which Xataka was present. “Young Europeans highly value photography and Oppo has always been very strong in this area. We are very confident.” They don’t say it just to say it; The Find X9 Pro really offers incredible photographic results. And that quality, almost unexpected, is precisely what can catapult them to the top. “Our current market share in Europe, compared to our target, it still has a considerable gap. Secondly, Europe is the best high-end market in the world. And Oppo’s future development strategy focuses on the premiumization of the brand. Third, European users are very demanding about the product experience,” Zhou said. The brand message is ambitious, somewhat also common in rivals like Honorbut they are aware that they are in a sweet moment. Zhou even dares to criticize the telephone sector itself: “before the emergence of AI, people felt that the smartphone industry was somewhat boring and monotonous, because the functional experience of the product had not changed revolutionaryly. But now that AI has entered mobile phones, we believe that AI can completely reshape the smartphone experience, and even include the entire ecosystem of services.” “Before the emergence of AI, people felt that the smartphone industry was somewhat boring and monotonous” “I think the smartphone industry can still bring surprises. Our investment in AI is huge. We have more than 6,000 patents related to AIwhich places us at the global leader,” explains the Oppo manager. “Young Europeans are very eager to see the changes that AI can bring to their lives when integrated into phones.” This AI, however, is not an exclusive function of the premium range. As he did at the time Huawei with the P Smart rangeOppo knows that to conquer the Spanish market it needs the reindeer series. “Our Reno series, including our A series, will receive the new AI features,” confirms Zhou. Some AI functions that are offered for free, although the brand recognizes that “we do not know if the change in the user experience that AI brings could also cause changes in the industry profitability model. “This is still being explored.” In this relationship between mobile manufacturers and AI companies there is a prominent player. “Our collaboration with Google has always been very pleasant. Our phones use the Android system and our cooperation with them is comprehensive; whether in products, marketing or customer service. I firmly believe that all cooperation must be beneficial for both parties“. Oppo’s situation is not the same in Europe as in China. “We have two AI tracks: one specific to China and another for the global market. Outside of China we mostly use Google Geminiwhich is already thoroughly integrated into ColorOS (Settings, Notes, Recording, Documents and AI My Space). The collaboration with Google Gemini is very strong. In China, we use our own models and collaborate with other suppliers.” Oppo’s approach is hybrid. “The capabilities of the phone itself will be very powerful in the future,” he explains. “Here each manufacturer has its approach. My personal opinion is that the best solution is to combine it, part in the cloud and part taking advantage of the power of the phone.” Of course, with the always necessary qualification of “putting the user’s privacy first.” Something for which they have worked with Google on the Privacy Computing Cloudwhere technically neither Oppo nor anyone else can access that processed data. A promise in line with the European regulation that they also keep in mind. Manufacturing in Europe? Without counting on the enormous government support that Huawei has, Oppo is a giant with more than 40,000 employees globally and established as an independent brand of the BBK group since 2023. The company has more than 65,000 patents and has a solid supply chain, also on European soil. “We are not ruling it out (producing in Europe), but this decision must be left in the hands of our supply chain team” “With Oppo’s global expansion and changes in the entire supply chain, we have nine manufacturing centers around the world,” says Zhou, who when asked if they plan to open a factory in Europe responds that “the establishment of a manufacturing center is quite complex; we have a professional supply chain team that carries out this evaluation and decision-making. Therefore, We do not rule out the future possibility of producing in Europedepending on changes in market demand and in our supply chain. We don’t rule it out. But this complex decision should probably be left to our supply chain team.” Thanks to the fact that Oppo has warehouses in Europe, the new Find X9 Pro have been able maintain the same battery level as the Chinese variants. That is, a total of 7,500 mAh, which makes it the … Read more

We believed that ‘Air’ and ‘Edge’ mobile phones were synonymous with cuts. Huawei wants to explode that idea with a figure: 6,500 mAh

by

The surname “Air” (or “Edge” in another case) is usually synonymous with an ultralight design and, therefore, of sacrifices. We have seen it in smartphones like the Galaxy S25 Edge from Samsung or your own iPhone Air of the signature of the bitten apple. The battery is the first victim in the quest for extreme thinness. However, Huawei seems willing to break this rule with its next Huawei Mate 70 Air after return to the top of the market in his native country. According to a wave of leaks and accompanying photos, the Chinese giant is preparing a device that not only claims to be the thinnest ‘Mate’ in history, but does so by integrating a huge battery. We knew that China had the solution for the battery of ultra-thin mobile phoneshere comes the first demo. A “normal” smartphone battery. This is the figure that is focusing all the attention of Huawei’s next launch. Leaks echoed by media such as Android Authority They point to a massive 6,500 mAh battery. If confirmed, in addition to being the highest capacity of a Huawei mobile to date, it would also dwarf the direct competition in the segment. slim: The iPhone Air has a 3,149 mAh battery, across the street, Samsung puts a 3,900 mAh battery in the Galaxy S25 Edge. An engineering challenge. How has Huawei managed to integrate this battery? Leaks indicate that the phone is built on an aluminum and glass chassis with a thickness of around six millimeters which would help. The images seen online confirm an extremely thin terminal that maintains the aesthetics of the Mate family, including its characteristic circular camera module. This is what the Huawei Mate 70 Air looks like in leaked images. Image: Weibo But without a doubt, the silicon-carbon batteries They are what have allowed the Chinese firm to take the leap. We have seen how these have allowed us to stretch the energy capacity up to 15,000 mAh in the case of Realme (still with certain unknowns about its durability) u 8,000 mAh in the Honor one. Without reaching these figures, the 6,500 mAh of the next Huawei Mate 70 Air seems feasible. It won’t skimp on photography either.. The Mate 70 Air looks at a triple system with a 50 megapixel main sensor (possibly 1/1.3 inch), a 13 MP ultra wide angle and an 8 MP periscope telephoto lens. It seems that it will not have to concede in the field of cameras, an ambition that aligns with Huawei’s strategy in recent times. one that has taken him to the throne of mobile photography recently with his Pure 80 Ultra. In addition, they may use again image sensors manufactured on national soil. Huawei is supported by SmartSensa Shanghai-based manufacturer of CMOS sensors: has more than 350 customers and 420 patents of which 190 are of its own invention. Reservations in physical stores of the Huawei Mate 70 Air. Image: Weibo Kirin Heart. And in two flavors? As expected in post-veto Huawei, the terminal will use an in-house Kirin 5G chip. Curiously, at Huawei Central They talk about two variants: the 12 GB RAM model would use a Kirin 9020B (a version with reduced clock frequencies), while the 16 GB model would use the Kirin 9020A, a SoC that we already knew in the Mate 70 family. It is, again, a reflection of the steps that Huawei has been taking in recent times in order to diversify some chips that no longer hidesas well as to ensure your HarmonyOS ecosystemkey in times when you need resilience. Imminent launch. This is not a long-term rumor: according to multiple leakers, the device is already in the reservation phase in physical stores in China and its official launch could be as soon as November 6. That is, in two days. All this happens while Huawei is already preparing new flagships: the Mate 80, which will try to demonstrate power by compensating for the hardware limitations (more evident in chip manufacturing) with custom software.

they use Huawei and DeepSeek chips

by

China’s race to get become technologically independent from the United States It is reaching the military sector. The military is accelerating the integration of artificial intelligence into its operations and most importantly: they are favoring national technologies. In the software, DeepSeek.

At the beginning of the year, military experts in China assured that the military was testing DeepSeek integration. In May, researchers from Xi’an University showed a system based on DeepSeek capable of creating and analyzing 10,000 combat scenarios in just 48 seconds. Reuters analyzed several tenders awarded to various companies by the Chinese military and at least a dozen mentioned DeepSeek, while only one referenced Alibaba’s Qwen. It is clear which is the preferred model for the Chinese army. Robot dogs and drones. The documents analyzed by Reuters also suggest that the Chinese military is integrating AI into autonomous vehicles such as robot dogs. It is no secret, in 2024 the army itself published a video promoting robot dogs who moved in packs to eliminate explosives and other threats. The robots in the video were from the Chinese company Unitree, but there are also other national companies dedicated to the manufacturing of these vehicles such as Norinco, which confirmed in a technical report that they use Huawei chips. On the other hand, Deepseek is also being integrated into drones to give them the ability to recognize and follow targets with hardly any human intervention.
