Huawei is the pioneer in domestic self-developed high-end chips, with mid- to low-end companies such as Ziguang. Why is Ziguang only willing to make low-end chips? Because domestic manufacturers such as SMIC can OEM, high-end chips can only be found by Samsung and TSMC. Huawei has been looking for TSMC for a long time. However, due to well-known reasons, TSMC can no longer OEM for Huawei, which has caused a shortage of Kirin chips. The specifications of Huawei Mate 40 have been upgraded in reverse: Kirin 9000E Kirin 990E 5G Kirin 990 4G, very passive .

Xiaomi is a leader in the domestic IoT industry. It is felt that almost all domestic chip manufacturers have capital under the Hubei Xiaomi Yangtze River Industrial Fund Partnership. From the perspective of the industry chain, Lei Jun is not in a hurry to make larger chips, but mainly invests in the IoT field. Because if we compete with Qualcomm, which dominates the mobile phone field, the consequences are not difficult to imagine. It is better to invest in IoT chips, make a fortune silently, accumulate strength, and support domestic chip processing companies-only when we master the ability of high-end chip processing, Only then can we have enough confidence to engage in complete independent research. When it comes to building chips, Lei Jun is obviously more focused on the future.
