The specific time when Huawei developed the chip was not disclosed, but Huawei has historically been vigorously developing its own chip research and development capabilities. According to reports, Huawei has already released the world's first 5G SoC chip Kirin 990 in September 2019, and the Kirin 9000 series chip in September 2020. The research and development of these chips is carried out in Huawei's own research and development facilities. It can be seen that Huawei has been making continuous efforts and exploration in chip research and development, and has continued to achieve results in practical applications.
The chip Huawei developed is the Kirin chip, which was first released on September 2, 2014. This chip is Huawei's self-developed mobile phone chip, using a 64-bit architecture, has strong performance and low power consumption characteristics, and supports 4G networks. The research and development of Kirin chip is an important measure for Huawei to promote independent innovation, and also marks the further improvement of Huawei's technical strength and innovation ability in the chip field.
