Huawei has its own designed Kirin chip, but it cannot manufacture it itself, and it used to be processed by TSMC.
As a technology, the Kirin processor is developed by Huawei itself, reaching the current world's highest design level of 5 nm. However, the high-end chip architecture and high-end EDA software supported by technology research and development are not developed by Huawei itself, nor are they developed by our domestic chip companies. As a product, the Kirin processor is not manufactured by Huawei itself, previously all were not manufactured by our domestic chip companies themselves, and later SMIC manufactured 14 nm, 7 nm below has not been, and the mid-end and high-end lithography machines relied on by manufacturing have not been manufactured by our domestic lithography machine manufacturers until today.
The Kirin chip is really a chip developed and produced by Huawei itself. The Kirin chip is really known as Huawei's first quad-core mobile phone Huawei D1, which uses Hisilicon K3V2 to rank among the top smartphone processors and wow the industry.

In the 4G era, Huawei released its first eight-core processor Kirin920, which not only has very strong parameters, but also achieves a heterogeneous 8-core big.LITTLE architecture, and the overall performance has been comparable to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 in the same period
