As we all know, the reason why Huawei Kirin chip cannot be freely shipped has caused Huawei 's mobile phone business to be greatly affected. Under this circumstance, there is news that Kirin 9000 has become out of print, there is also news that Kirin chip may be difficult to appear on the market, and there is even news that Huawei has given up on Kirin chip research and development.
To some extent, this has some credibility. After all, if the Kirin chip cannot be shipped, even if it is developed, it will not have much market value. However, Huawei has not actually given up its idea of chip research and development. because before and Ren Zhengfei made it clear that he would not give up the chip business just because of the severe situation. To put it bluntly, Huawei does not want to admit defeat. After all, even if it cannot be shipped freely at present, if one day our country has a breakthrough in chip foundry, or Huawei has won the right to ship freely, then Huawei, which continues its chip research and development business, will not fall too far behind in chip research and development.
But what is surprising is that despite Ren Zhengfei’s clear stance, news came from MediaTek . According to the latest news, industry insiders broke the news that MediaTek has hired a HiSilicon executive director, who is mainly responsible for chip development and has the ability to develop high-performance processors, servers and base station chips as well as customized ASIC .
When I saw this news, the editor was very surprised. Under such a severe situation of Huawei, and Ren Zhengfei have made it clear that they will continue to develop chip business. Does MediaTek dare to openly start with Huawei? "Poaching people"?
From MediaTek’s perspective, this is possible. Although MediaTek has already surpassed the Qualcomm market with its own strength, in fact, before the release of the Dimensity 9000 series, MediaTek's chips in the high-end market were unable to compete with Qualcomm. Moreover, although Qualcomm "failed" in the new generation of Snapdragon 8 series chips, Qualcomm also urgently chose to transfer orders to TSMC. In the case of the same technology, Qualcomm actually has a great advantage. At the same time, in terms of chips in the high-end market, domestic manufacturers are actually more inclined to choose Qualcomm. Let’s take a very simple example. When Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 8Gen1 faced serious heating problems, domestic manufacturers chose to find a solution for Qualcomm through various aspects of reducing power consumption and heat dissipation. Solve Qualcomm’s broken problems. Even if is and Lu Weibing personally said that this is a bad chip, domestic manufacturers still have not completely given up on Qualcomm. Perhaps they are because MediaTek cannot support high-end products, or perhaps because they have cooperated with Qualcomm for many years, they do not want to completely interrupt Qualcomm with one stroke. All in all, domestic manufacturers are very tolerant of Qualcomm. Therefore, it is not easy for MediaTek to temporarily replace Qualcomm chips in the high-end market. So at this time, if Huawei executives are chosen to develop chips, the meaning will be different. After all, there is an inexplicable sense of admiration for Huawei's chips in China. If this news is true, then MediaTek is indeed fighting hard to fight against Qualcomm. After all, MediaTek still needs to bear a certain amount of pressure from public opinion when poaching people from competitors, especially one in a severe situation. However, this news has not been officially confirmed by both parties. We can think that this news has not been officially announced, or it can be considered as fake news. But my personal opinion is that it should not be announced, because such news will not come out for no reason, and Huawei’s chip business talents are indeed worth poaching. Considering MediaTek’s current market position, if you want to poach It is not an impossible thing for people. What do you think of this? Welcome to leave comments, like and share!
