can huawei's kirin chips be supplied to xiaomi? wouldn't it be better if chinese companies could help each other?

unsuitable? not enough? the production capacity and process cannot meet the needs of such a large-scale supply chain? at present, it seems that the chip belongs to huawei exclusively, and is only provided for huawei's terminal devices! it is not given to third-party mobile phone manufacturers. since honor became independent, there are no mobile phones equipped with kirin chips. it can be seen from the current situation that what kind of existence is kirin chip!

secondly, if we can really supply xiaomi, will domestic mobile phone manufacturers such as vivo, oppo, honor, and zte also use it? can this scale be supported? this is also something that needs to be considered!

however, in china, it seems that many companies are pursuing independence. xiaomi has also built soc chips, and now it also has imaging, charging, security and other chips. it is reported that xiaomi is also planning to build its own soc chips, and there was a news report some time ago!

on august 29, according to foreign media reports, xiaomi is currently actively developing its own soc (system-on-chip), which is expected to be officially launched in 2025. this self-developed chip will use tsmc's second-generation 4nm process technology, and its performance is expected to be comparable to the first-generation snapdragon 8 chip currently on the market. in addition, this chip will also have a built-in unisplendour 5g baseband and support 5g networks.

if xiaomi will develop its own products, then other mobile phone manufacturers will eventually do the same, and there will be many companies doing so. of course, some companies may give up and not do so. oppo has given up, but i don’t know whether it will restart in the future!

so from another perspective, even if huawei is willing to provide it, they may not necessarily adopt it because their goals are different. they may want to have it themselves, which is their own choice and we cannot completely change or influence it. this is also a realistic problem that we need to be clear about.

however, for now, the mobile phone chips have not been affected. mediatek's dimensity series and qualcomm series can still use top-level chips. unlike the ai ​​field, nvidia has provided special versions of chips for china. dimensity and qualcomm can already meet the needs of companies like xiaomi. and the performance is better!

huawei's kirin chips have not yet officially disclosed their configuration information, and their performance is relatively weak. however, with huawei's own tuning and the operation of the hongmeng system, they can perform better! but this does not mean that their technology is advanced (they cannot be advanced for the time being due to sanctions. they were once advanced but were suppressed.)

in such a situation where the mobile phone market is so involuted, they will definitely give priority to mature products with stable supply. on the one hand, the other party cannot provide it, or the production capacity is insufficient. on the other hand, we also have better options. we are also actively building our own chips. there is no need for it yet. this is the current situation. what do you think about this?
