Let's first take a look at the United States to lift the ban on Huawei, what medicine is sold in the gourd, with MatePad Pro release, it is not difficult to find that Huawei's newly released tablet is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chip, which shows that the news about Qualcomm's supply to Huawei has been confirmed.
willful ", also can not completely ignore the demands of major local enterprises, so under huge pressure, the United States also seems to gradually relax the relevant ban on Huawei.
The United States prohibits enterprises from selling related technology products to Huawei, and on May 15, 2020, Huawei was first restricted from using American technology and software to involve and manufacture semiconductors outside the United States, with a buffer period of 120 days.A series of sanctions.
Because Huawei's technology was selected as part of the 5G standard at the 3Gpp conference, it means that the scenarios in which the United States uses 5G technology in the future need to pay patent fees to Huawei, which is a very considerable cost in the long run, and the fee was previously charged by Qualcomm.Therefore, the United States first let Reuters release its mouth in advance to test the reaction of all parties in the world. As for the complete opening of the 5G construction in the United States and letting Huawei participate in it, it may not become a reality for five years.
Because Huawei's 5G is the world's largest telecom equipment manufacturer,If you need to pay patent fees to Huawei to set up 5G, and the world's most powerful 5G equipment supplier is Huawei, if you choose other suppliers, you will lose more than a little.
If the United States wants to catch up with Huawei in 5G technology, it will take a very long time, and by that time the daylily is cold, it has become a foregone conclusion.
Allow Qualcomm and Huawei mobile terminal cooperation, that is, Qualcomm canTo provide chips to Huawei's mobile phones, tablets and other products, but Huawei's mobile phones are still unable to use 5G functions, the reason is that the United States still does not allow Huawei to buy 5G radio frequency antennas. Allowing carriers in the United States to sell chips for auto parts to Huawei.
For Huawei, self-sufficiency is the only way out, so it is necessary for Ren Zhengfei to choose a dual-wire layout chip. It is not difficult to see that the real purpose of the United States is to prevent Huawei from continuing to develop chip technology, and it can accept Huawei's purchase from American suppliers.
After the United States promulgated new chip regulations, it unexpectedly allowed AMD, Intel and other giantsHead to Huawei supply, this "abnormal" operation also seems to expose its real purpose.
TSMC, which manufactures for Huawei, will stop supplying Huawei chips after September 15, 2020, and Kirin chips will be discontinued. The Kirin chip is made by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., which is under pressure from the U.S. to stop doing business with China in September 2020As a result, Kirin chips were discontinued.
The key is that the inventory of this chip is very small, in other words, the shipment quantity of Huawei mate40EPro this mobile phone is very small, even if you want to buy it is very difficult. Even in the face of high prices, domestic mobile phone manufacturers can only choose to silently accept, because they want to stand firm in today's domestic mobile phone market, a latest Qualcomm Snapdragon chip has almost become a necessity.
