Why is Huawei s Kirin chip not as good as Apple s?

First of all, Huawei invests a lot of money in research and development every year, not all of which are used in chips, in addition, mobile phone design, switches, routers, 5G technology and other fields need to invest a lot of money, so that the Kirin processor will not necessarily get more R&D investment than Apple A processor.

Secondly, although Huawei started early, it did not have all kinds of equipment at the beginning, and it can almost be said to start from scratch. When Apple developed a processor, there were many cutting-edge technologies that could be used, which saved a lot of research and development time. Apple not only acquired OnePlus's more mature chip company, but also obtained various patent authorizations from Arm.

Although Kirin's collection processor was made, it could not be applied to smartphones, and Apple's collection processor was the A4 processor, which was very powerful at the time, much stronger than Huawei's Kirin processor.

It is worth mentioning that at the beginning, there was a lack of chip talents in China, and it was also blocked by foreign technology, so it was very difficult to achieve research and development results. All the achievements made today are one footprint after another; And Apple has a lot of money, has it encountered a technological blockade, as long as it spends money, it didn't take long to develop a chip, both environmental factors and some strength factors.

Therefore, from these perspectives, it is only natural that Apple's chips are doing better than Huawei. In particular, Huawei's ability to compete with Qualcomm and Apple shows that its R&D capabilities are good. In contrast, although Xiaomi has also entered the chip R&D market, there is still a big gap with Huawei and Apple.

Netizens commented: Huawei is a Chinese company, and chips are poor and white for Chinese companies, and the technology has been completely blocked by European and American countries, and it is not easy to get out of the cracks, and now it is facing the difficulty of being blocked. Fortunately, Ali entered the game in time and launched the "Hanguang 800", which can be regarded as a kind of progress in the domestic chip market.

I don't think that's the case, Huawei's Kirin chip is also very good.

In fact, their chips are about the same, but there is a bit of a gap between the operating system and the operating system.

Because Apple's chips are a little better in all aspects. Therefore, Huawei's Kirin chip needs to be further developed.

This is because Huawei's chips are still in the research and development stage, so they are not as good as those in the United States.

Or Apple's chip is a little longer, so the technology is a little better.

Huawei's Kirin chip is not inferior to Apple, but scientific research and technological innovation.

Because Huawei's overall technology has not yet reached the height of Apple.

Because Apple's chips are relatively more advanced, Huawei still hasn't mastered that kind of technology.

Because this is independently developed by Huawei, the technology is not yet mature, and we still need to work hard.

The gap between Huawei chips Kirin and Snapdragon chips:

The Snapdragon processor is a bit better than the Kirin processor when it comes to gaming.

Snapdragon processors are a bit faster than Kirin processors.

The Snapdragon processor has a bit better mobile gaming performance than the Kirin processor.

The heat generation control and power consumption control of the Kirin processor are better than that of the Snapdragon processor.

The camera performance and system smoothness of the Kirin processor are a little better than that of the Snapdragon processor.

The baseband performance of the Kirin processor is somewhat stronger than that of the Snapdragon processor.

The computing speed of the Kirin processor is a bit more stable than that of the Snapdragon processor.

Advantages of Kirin and Snapdragon chips

Snapdragon Processor Advantages:

1. The Snapdragon processor is more dominant in gaming, and the built-in GPU is better than that of Kirin. The Snapdragon processor is specifically optimized for gaming, so the gaming aspect will be better.

2. The AI intelligence of the Snapdragon processor focuses more on the optimization of games, which makes the performance of mobile games using the Snapdragon processor better.

Kirin Processor Advantages:

1. The Kirin processor focuses more on the camera performance processing and system smoothness of the mobile phone in the direction of AI intelligent processing.

2. The core optimization of the Kirin processor focuses more on the stability of the system, making the computing speed more stable and smoother.

Huawei's own factory to produce Kirin chips is impossible at this stage. None of the mainland is currently available for production. In essence, this involves the problem of semiconductor manufacturing technology, and the mainland is still relatively backward.

The main reason for the shortage of Kirin chips is because of the U.S. sanctions on Huawei, so that the company that originally provided chips to Huawei gave up the first chip for Huawei, and Huawei's Kirin chip cannot be produced normally, and the most direct impact is that it will lead to a decrease in Huawei's mobile phone production.

On the afternoon of August 7, Huawei's CEO of consumer business talked at the 2020 summit of the China Informatization 100 that after September this year, a series of chips called Kirin will be discontinued.

Therefore, the Huawei Mate40 that can be bought on the market at present may become an out-of-print machine, and because of the sanctions imposed by the United States, Huawei's mobile phone chips have been hindered, so now for Huawei, it is very difficult for them to develop Huawei's mobile phone industry.

Those who get the core win the world.

In the mobile phone chip industry, especially in the field of high-performance chips, Qualcomm, MediaTek, HiSilicon, Samsung and Apple are still competing for hegemony, but at the same time, only HiSilicon and Samsung have mobile phone terminal manufacturing capabilities and chip research and development capabilities, while Qualcomm and MediaTek only provide solutions and no terminals.

What is more special is Apple, whose chips are designed in-house but commissioned to produce, and at the same time completely self-used. Among them, Samsung's Exynos chip is only used by Meizu in addition to its own high-end mobile phonesOver the years, HiSilicon processors have been used in Huawei's star models.

Kirin chips are already world-class, why doesn't Huawei sell them to the outside world?After reading it, I will smile.

The United Kingdom developed the AMR chip architecture, authorized Huawei to redesign and integrate its own WiFi 3G 4G and other chips, and then handed it over to TSMC for production. It is considered domestic. As for what letter to use, it's up to Huawei, and they like to use kirin.

Kirin literally translates into English as kirin, and I personally think that the reason why I don't write Chinese pinyin is because this word originally has a corresponding English counterpart!And foreigners will understand the meaning when they see this!And it doesn't seem very appropriate for you to write a Chinese pinyin!

After all, chips need to be international!

If you can't produce it yourself, how can it be considered domestic.

Why don't Huawei's Kirin chips be produced by themselves. 1: Strategic positioning, 2: It is extremely difficult to produce by yourself, and 3: The input cost is too high.

Huawei officially announced!Unable to solve the problem of chip production, Kirin chips will "disappear"?
