On September 5th, a statement made by Yu Chengdong at yesterday’s press conference sent the audience into a frenzy.
At the event, Huawei officially announced the Kirin 9020 processor, a revelation that ignited significant excitement. The last time a processor model was directly disclosed in such a manner was four years ago.
It’s understood that the Kirin chip last graced a Huawei press conference in 2021. After a four-year hiatus, Huawei’s public mention of the Kirin chip at this event sends a clear signal to the market: the domestic chip supply chain has achieved complete, end-to-end self-reliance and control.
Industry experts have commented on the significance of this move. They stated that Huawei’s willingness to publicly name the Kirin processor is highly meaningful.
Experts remarked, “The fact that they dare to announce the Kirin processor’s name confirms its complete domestic production. US sanctions are no longer effective; this truly deserves praise.”
The reappearance of the Kirin chip after a long interval signifies Huawei Terminal’s dedication to reshaping the technological ecosystem of its smart devices through “full-stack self-research,” encompassing everything from the chip to the operating system. This demonstrates a robust, in-house capability.
