Huawei's HiSilicon semiconductor unit is also 'breathless'
A report from the Wall Street Journal said that even if Huawei owns HiSilicon semiconductor division, the production of 'home' chips for its smartphones is unlikely.
According to PhoneArena , when reports said Huawei was banned from buying parts from the U.S., many thought that the HiSilicon chip manufacturing division would not be affected by the ban, helping to meet the company's processor requirements. mom. Even so, it doesn't seem to be the way things look.
The Wall Street Journal said the software HiSilicon used to design chips was purchased from two US companies, Synopsys Inc. and Cadence Design Systems Inc. This means that HiSilicon's chip design will also be difficult once these US software companies stop working.
As reported, Huawei still spent $ 11 billion last year on parts purchased from U.S. companies such as Qualcomm, Intel and Micron. Although Huawei says that before being banned, it has been stockpiling chips for a year, but in the long run the ban could prevent Huawei from designing chips with new technologies. That leaves Huawei phones behind when there are new features.
Not only that, but the biggest blow to Huawei's chip division comes from ARM Holdings - a UK-based chip design company that uses some U.S. technology. When ARM Holdings announced that it would sever its relationship with the company, it meant Huawei lost the right to include the widely used basic designs for ARM chips. The consequences are not clear, but Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei said that losing ARM designs had 'no impact' on his company.
Reportedly, the day after announcing Huawei and 68 branches were blacklisted by the US Department of Commerce, President HiSilicon Teresa He wrote a memo to his employees. In the content, He emphasized that any new product must be self-sufficient in terms of the technology needed to make it work. She said: 'We must not only be open to innovation but also achieve technological independence.'
