Huawei Advances in Chip Development with Kirin X90 Certification Amidst US Sanctions and Windows OS License Expiry

Huawei is making strides in replacing American components in its PC business by developing its own computer chips.

  • HiSilicon, a Huawei subsidiary, developed the Kirin X90 chip.

  • The Kirin X90 received a Level 2 security and reliability certification from the China Information Technology Security Evaluation Centre.

  • This certification is for locally designed and manufactured computers, server processors, and systems.

  • Huawei's Kirin 9000C and Kirin 9006C chips are already certified and used in Qingyun W515x PCs and Qingyun L540 laptops.

  • Huawei's license to use Microsoft's Windows OS is expiring with no renewal expected.

  • The company plans to launch computers with its HarmonyOS later this year.

  • This development occurs as Huawei seeks to reduce reliance on American technology amid US sanctions.

This move is significant in the ongoing tech war, demonstrating Huawei's efforts to decrease dependence on American technology.
