Looking around the world, there are not many companies that have their own chips and operating systems. Because it is not easy to develop self-developed chips, it is even more difficult to develop self-developed operating systems. Companies with both capabilities are naturally very rare.

From the perspective of global giants, Apple is the top one. Its systems include iOS and MacOS, and its chips include M1 chips and A series chips. In addition, Microsoft and Google also have chips and systems.

In China, there are actually such companies. Huawei is one of them, with Kunpeng chips, Kirin chips, etc., as well as Hongmeng and Euler systems. It can be said that from the perspective of layout, they are comparable to Apple.

In addition, there is Alibaba, which has its own chips, AliOS, Longxi system, and Feitian operating system. It is also a very powerful manufacturer that combines software and hardware.

In addition, ZTE is also one of them. The operating system has a new fulcrum and is even used in high-speed rail. It's a little regrettable that ZTE's chips are not used in mobile phones and computers, but more in the Internet of Things, network equipment, and base stations.

Apart from these three companies, there are really not many domestic manufacturers that have self-developed chips and operating systems.

However, recently, there has been another such company in China. This company is Tencent. Yesterday, Tencent officially announced its three self-developed chips, namely Zixiao, Canghai, and Xuanling.

These three chips are used in different scenarios and are all leading in the industry. At the same time, Tencent also stated that Tencent has long-term chip research and development planning and investment.

In the field of operating systems, Tencent has already had several major systems, but it has been relatively low-key and has no large-scale marketing publicity. It is more based on its own use. As for external promotion, it is relatively vague. Department, so many people don’t know it.

Let’s not talk about the previously failed mobile operating system TencentOS. Today there are still four major systems, namely the server system TencentOS Server, the Internet of Things operating system TencentOS Tiny, the edge operating system TencentOS Edge and the desktop operating system. TencentOS Desktop.

Among the four major systems, two are open source and free, namely TencentOS Server and TencentOS Tiny. TencentOS Tiny, like Huawei Hongmeng, was donated to the Open Atom Open Source Foundation by Tencent .

I really hope there are more domestic manufacturers like Huawei and Tencent that have self-developed chips and self-developed operating systems.
