The situation between the United States and China since Trump is in power could not be worse. This situation is already affecting US companies with interests in the Asian giant. Apple has raised the price of its products and suffers a loss of revenue from these tariffs. Meanwhile Huawei is taking steps to stop depending on US companies.
Huawei has been the first major hit by Trump's isolationist policies. The company has lost its license to set up 5G networks and has suffered a partial work block with US companies. At the moment its entry into the black list of companies is paralyzed, but it could be activated at any moment.
Seeking technology independence from Huawei
In order to be technologically independent from the United States, they continue to work on all kinds of solutions. The last one they have presented is a solution for the PC market. Huawei would have the support of ARM to expand into the computer market.
Currently HiSilicon, Huawei's processor division would be working on a processor 8-core ARM architecture. But the company also wants to develop and produce its own motherboards for its processors.
The Chinese medium ithome.com shows the D920S10 motherboard that offers support for PCIe 3.0. Not only that, this motherboard features SATA 3.0 connectors and M.2 NVMe slots. It also has four DDR4-2400 DIMM sockets that support up to 64GB of RAM. The connectivity is also very good, offering 7.1 sound, USB 3.0 Type-A and USB 2.0.
Kunpeng 920 is the 7nm processor that targets desktop computers. It would be designed for office automation and it would be ideal to work under Linux. It is not posited as a direct alternative to Intel and AMD, but the Chinese market is one of the most important in the world.
They also work at Huawei on a server processor with 64 cores and 2.6GHz working frequency. These would support 1TB DDR4 @ 3200MHz and up to 40 PCIe 4.0 lanes. A processor, which they have indicated, would have a TDP of 180W.
