After Huawei made up its mind to invest in semiconductor chip research and development a few years ago, it has spent a huge amount of money on chip research and development every year。And years of efforts have finally ushered in flowering, Huawei's self-developed chips have covered mobile phones, AI, servers, routers, TVS and other fields。In addition to the Kirin chip used in its own mobile phone, Huawei has also launched the Ascend series AI chip and the Kunpeng series server CPU based on ARM, and there are self-developed Lingxiao chips in network products such as routing, in addition to providing 4K TV chip solutions for other TV manufacturers。

Last year, Huawei's global debut of the 7nm process to create the Kirin 980 processor shocked the industry, with its excellent performance, Huawei finally in the high-end smart phone market a firm foothold, and Samsung, Apple and the two major mobile phone brands face to face。

Earlier, Yu Chengdong personally admitted that Huawei's smartphone business is developing rapidly, and it may overtake Samsung to become the world's first smartphone brand in two years。In order to achieve this goal, Huawei will also go all out to develop its chipset business in 2019。

According to media reports in Taiwan, Huawei has recently faced obstacles from the United States, so it decided to speed up the research and development and mass production of self-developed chips。The self-sufficiency rate of Huawei smartphones using Hisilink Kirin processors in the second half of last year was less than 40%, and it has increased to 45% in the first half of this year, but it is expected to increase to 60% in the second half of this year。

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Huawei will significantly increase the investment output of TSMC's 7nm chips this year, and it is possible to surpass Apple and Qualcomm to become TSMC's largest 7nm customer。

Huawei's behavior may mean that Huawei intends to reduce the purchase of chips from other manufacturers, such as Mediatek, Qualcomm, etc., of which Mediatek is bound to bear the brunt。At the same time, increasing the production of Kirin chips may also help Huawei's low-end smartphones accelerate the introduction of Hisilicon Kirin platform。

In addition, Kirin's next generation flagship chip also has news。According to industry news, the Kirin 985 chip will be launched in the second half of this year, using the latest 7nm+EUV(extreme ultraviolet light) process, which is bound to bring great optimization in performance and power consumption。
