Kirin 9000S estimated will eat around 2M Chips from Qualcomm. Kirin 9610A would eat the similar amount on auto/EV from Qualcomm as well.There are also the Ascend AI chips and Kunpeng chips for servers. Both are massive in China's data centers. Huawei's solution are integrated from top to bottom -- just like China's semicon's industry.
There are Taiwanese and Koreans semicon insiders who say TSMC and Samsung will have more five years before a precipitous decline. You cannot lose access to 60% of the world's market -- yes, China buys more than half the world's chips -- and hope to stay in the lead.
What allowed them to stay ahead in the market is they have EUV and China doesn't. That won't be the case in no more than five years. Prototypes are already testing this year. Many more next year. Possible production machines end of next year or second year. Mass production of EUVs in third year. Sub 5nm by fifth meaning China will have essentially caught up. But that is only silicon.
China has major leads in photonics, quantum and graphene chips. Those will hit the chips industry like EVs have hit the car industry![]()
Many SOEs and Banks are actually using Kunpeng CPU's severs and PCs.
