Alright, let’s dive into this wild rabbit hole of Huawei’s chip adventure, shall we? So, picture this: Huawei, the tech giant that popped up everywhere you blink these days, is gonna build this ginormous chip-making palace in China. Why? To pump out those Kirin and Ascend chips that everybody seems to want. Funny how these chips sound almost like some mystical characters from a fantasy novel. Get this, they’re actually called something fancy like 7nm. I really should Google what that means… or maybe not.
Let’s rewind a bit — Huawei used to be all about phones, right? But lately, they’ve been eyeing NVIDIA’s spot in the big league of AI. Goes to show, everyone wants a slice of the AI pie these days. Oh, Huawei… they’ve been cranking out those Ascend AI chips so fast, it’s like trying to catch a runaway train. And Shenzhen’s the stage for their next big act. Why Shenzhen? Beats me. Maybe it’s got good vibes or something.
Now here’s a quirky thing: their new chip kingdom’s gonna neighbor some other big-shot chip factories — like Pengxinwei and Shenzhen Pensun or something. I always get these names tangled up. But think of it like a buddy system, where Huawei is the glue that keeps all these tech folks sticking together. Neat, huh?
Oh, and there’s an image from the Financial Times showing… well, some techy stuff. Not that I completely get it, but it looks cool.
Now, about the funds. Apparently, the local government’s throwing money at this project too. And Huawei’s not running this gig solo. They got buddies — SiCarrier and SwaySure — to take the wheel. Imagine Huawei standing by, handing out cash and assembling a nerdy dream team to turn this vision into reality. Like, it’s teamwork on steroids.
Why’s Huawei hustling so hard? SMIC, China’s big chip player, kinda dropped the ball, can’t keep up with all the chip orders flying their way. So, Huawei’s like, “Let’s do it ourselves!” and bam — new chip factory in the works, maybe opening doors next year. I mean, fingers crossed they pull it off. Feels like the next chapter in Huawei’s epic saga, right? And that’s how our chips crumble… I guess!
