Huawei offers its chips to third parties, starting with HiSilicon Balong 711. Xiaomi launches a standalone mobile processor called Surge S1 in 2017
Huawei has made a standalone chipset. But so far the chipset is better known to be used in mobile devices such as smartphones. On the other hand, the company also makes chips intended for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. A new report from China says Huawei began selling one of its chips on the open market.
Huawei offers its chips to third parties, starting with HiSilicon Balong 711. This chip has 4G support, which drives millions of Huawei IoT devices. The chip, announced in 2014, can be used on security cameras and automated sales machines.
Some reports say this effort may be a way for Huawei to get more revenue. Huawei's founder and CEO, Ren Zhengfei said in an interview that it was open to selling 5G chips to smartphone vendors, including competitors such as Apple.
The decision for Huawei to open its chip business to third parties will largely alleviate Qualcomm, which has been the main chip supplier for Chinese vendors such as Vivo, Oppo and Xiaomi. Considering the way the United States treats Huawei, Chinese companies are unlikely to hesitate to do business with domestic companies, as an alternative.
Last month, Hisilicon announced the range of chips used in 4K smart TVs. The quad-core processor has a Cortex-A55 core and a Mali-G52 GPU. This component supports 4K resolution at 60 fps.
Reported by Gizmochina (18/10), Xiaomi also has an interest in the semiconductor business. Previously the company has launched a standalone mobile processor called Surge S1 in 2017. This chipset is used to strengthen the Mi 5C.
A few months ago a leaked memo revealed the company had restructured its semiconductor business. A team from the Songguo Electronic chip business forms a company where Xiaomi has a 25% stake. The new company is called Nanjing Big Fish Semiconductor, which will focus on research and development of AI and IoT chips. Meanwhile, Songguo Electronics will continue to develop chips for mobile phones.
Last July Xiaomi reportedly invested in a chip design company in China, VeriSilicon. Xiaomi is now the second largest shareholder in the company.
