According to Reuters, the finance minister of South Korea, Choi Sang-mok said that the country is readying strict measures and rules to block chipset and technology leaks in the global market. It is preparing a big-data system as a major safety.

The new “big data” system will lead to useful and stricter rules with tougher punishments for culprits. The penalties under this system are unknown but it will eventually ensure full security of the business secrets and chip tech in the country.

“We will prevent illegal leaks of advanced technologies to raise the global competitiveness of our companies and strengthen technology leadership.” – said Choi.

South Korean government is taking such strict measures following the previous leak cases in the country. Inputs reveal that over 97 attempts have been made in the past five years to leak business secrets and chipset details to other countries.

As noted by the National Intelligence Service, 40 of these leaks were regarding chip manufacturing and its relevant parts. The good news is that these leaks didn’t achieve success. Or else, it would have led to a loss of $16.85 billion to the country.

In September, a South Korean official blamed for stealing chipmaking details from Samsung.  Thus, a few strict measures on this matter are quite necessary.

Over the years, South Korea established around 12 national strategic tech firms that can support the country financially. These include rechargeable batteries, aerospace and artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and more.

These industries also aim to protect and respond actively to global competition and help resolve supply chain problems. It would be worth seeing what new penalties South Korea will take on the chipset and tech leak matter.

Despite U.S. restrictions, Huawei is making efforts in the AI chipset field to compete with rivals like Nvidia. The company has been silently working on a new AI chip – Ascend 910C for a long time. The processor will likely go official in the next month.

New Ascend 910C

Ascend 910C will probably act as a strong alternative to the Nvidia B20. It can easily give a tough spot to the H100 chip in performance and efficiency, as per some tests.

With the new AI processor, Huawei aims to fill the gaps in Chinese AI technology. Due to foreign export controls, the company is unable to use advanced equipment to build powerful AI chips. Yet it continued to pace in the AI field with its own techs.

Ascend 910B

On the other hand, the previous AI chips like Ascend 910B claim to edge out Nvidia A100 chips by 20%. It can deliver 80% of Nvidia A100 efficiency for LLMs’ training.

This further indicates the reduction of China’s dependency on US chip producers. Following the ban, Nvidia is restricted from selling high-end chips in China. As a result, it introduced low-efficient AI chips to continue its sales in the region.

Being low-quality processors, the Nvidia chips didn’t satisfy industrial users much. In such scenarios, the upcoming Ascend 910C could be a boon in China.

U.S. Ban: an opportunity?

Huawei also gives credits for its achievements in AI chipset development to the U.S. ban! Yes, the company believes that the U.S. sanctions made it self-reliant in AI technology, computing power, semiconductors, and other high-end solutions.

U.S. authorities blacklisted Huawei from its trade market in 2019 due to security concerns. As a result, the company was unable to access any tech-pack chipmaking tool to build its processors. Though it was a major issue, the ban also did some good to the company.

Improvements ahead!

The new Huawei is more innovative than its previous version. It looks for creative and efficient solutions to build its chips, hardware, and software. Also, these products are mostly free from U.S. components and rely on self-developed parts.

Note that Huawei’s new AI chip is still struggling with certain issues as well as production challenges. However, the constant pace of the company shows that it will soon overcome these obstacles.

Sun Ninghui is one of the prominent computer scientists in China. He is also a researcher and director at the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In one of his recent speeches, the person reportedly criticized Huawei.

He says that Huawei’s business development model seems quite closed and monopolistic. The company’s dominance in the industrial sector as well as the technological chain won’t help China stand against the U.S. in the technology race.

“From chip manufacturing to software to large AI models to computing power networks, it’s best for everyone else not to participate, and Huawei will take over everything. I think we are using this kind of Chinese-style closure and monopoly to fight Western-style monopoly and containment, which we certainly can’t win.”

Another industry computer expert shared the same point saying that the dominance of one tech firm in the region hinders a healthy innovation ecosystem.

The expert gave the example of Samsung’s dominance in South Korea that obstructed the country’s overall tech progress. Although that’s just one side of the coin!

A Chinese investor shed light on this matter saying that the problem isn’t as serious as Sun has pictured it to individuals. He says that China is currently focusing on collecting resources with the help of large companies. After attaining success on this matter, it won’t be a big deal to address monopoly issues in the region.

Perhaps the familiar Chinese scientist has criticized Huawei business models in the US tech war, due to some other reasons.

Criticism due to conflict?

Xiang Ligang – a tech analyst said that Sun has openly criticized Huawei due to a business conflict. He said that a few scientists working with Sun are upset due to successful firms like Huawei, as their products aren’t a part of the world’s top ranking anymore.

The analyst further noted that Sun has called Huawei monopolistic as it has no way of proving the strength of its supercomputers. They often call their rivals incapable or weak in practical and commercial value. Xiang also mentioned that Huawei is growing after facing challenges and being choked by others.

In a recent teardown of Huawei Qingyun L540 commercial PC, the device is said to run mainly on Chinese components, implying self-reliance. It uses a self-developed Kirin 9006C 5nm chipset and the China-made Unity operating system.

According to the FinancialTimes, Huawei Qingyun L540 commercial PC is in high demand among Chinese enterprises. The government sectors and state groups are widely using the device for its high-end capabilities and performance efficiency.

Qingyun L540 PC is now also part of a Chinese localization campaign named Xinchuang (IT application innovation). This campaign is a Chinese policy that works on localizing the regional IT sector and turning down its dependency on foreign products.

The report further reveals that Chinese companies like Huawei continue to ramp up their R&D efforts in chips, machinery, and software. They believe these products are the “technological backbone” for independent, secure, and controllable supply chains.

Other than that, the Chinese firms are also supporting the native products with financial support. The Chinese government has instructed most industries to prohibit foreign goods or components usage to the maximum.

Since March 2024, many enterprises have abandoned Intel and AMD-powered laptops in favor of Huawei, Shanghai Zhaoxin, and Phytium PCs. Qingyun L540 has the largest count of orders in this context.

Notably, the idea of using Chinese products over foreign tech has resulted in a wide range of products. Chinese users and enterprise customers now have various options in the market to choose their desired technology, device, or any other product.

Automobiles

Apart from chips and software, China has directed its automakers including the European group partners to increase the use of Chinese chips. The aim is to use around 25% of Chinese chips in automobiles by the next year.

With maximum use of local components in new products and cut-off of foreign tech, China aims to gradually become more self-dependent in every technological aspect.

Xu delivered a keynote entitled ‘Embracing the Era of Comprehensive Intelligence. The speech reflects the company’s upcoming strategy towards AI goals.

The executive says that AI has become a major subject in technology that has a ‘far-reaching’ impact on the industry. In commercial applications, no technology has seen such a speedy development as AI in a short time.

Although China is facing some challenges in this aspect. AI indirectly relies on a powerful chip architecture. However, Chinese firms are behind in this case due to the U.S. ban. The good news is that Huawei has a response to this challenge.

According to Xu, the computing power structures in China, based on the current chipmaking technologies are sustainable in the long run. Others that depend on new but low-efficient processes become unreliable over time.

In such a condition, Huawei can benefit from innovation and structural changes in computing power. The OEM will focus on boosting computing power at the system level rather than a single processor level.

Thus, Huawei aims to create a computing power architecture based on the available chip-making tech to meet long-term AI goals. Inputs reveal that the company will combine three major components:

• Available chipmaking technology
• Innovation in computing
• Storage and Network Solutions

The respective merger will eventually help the company to create a “supernodes + cluster” system. This solution will aid to sustainably meet the long-term demand for AI products and computing power in the region. It will also help the firm to fight against U.S. sanctions.

On September 20, Huawei hosted the Connect 2024 conference to shed light on digital productivity. During the event, the Rotating Chairman of the company Xu Zhijun also made a few points about the chip section, U.S. ban, and AI power.

Shedding light on the chip tech importance, Xu said AI sustainability relies on computing power. Whereas, the computing power efficiency depends on a strong chipset technology.

Directly or indirectly, a powerful chip architecture is quite important for the AI and computing power progress. However, the reality is that China lags in the chipmaking field following the U.S. sanctions. Yet, Huawei has a good response to it.

Xu says that the U.S. won’t remove its sanctions on China and Huawei for a long time due to so-called security concerns. This would surely impact the chip manufacturing tech in the region as it is also bound by the tough restrictions.

But Huawei sees these challenges as both possibilities and opportunities. The U.S. ban is helping Huawei to slowly become self-reliant in the chip and AI tech.

Huawei hit by the U.S. sanctions in 2019. The ban restricted the OEM from accessing advanced chipmaking tools in the foreign market. After a struggle of four years, the company reintroduced its self-developed chip Kirin 9000s with Mate 60 Pro.

And the rest of the achievements are in front of us!

Xu Zhjiun notes that advanced chip manufacturing could be limited for now. Although Huawei is making efforts to build more efficient chips with better performance.

Huawei aims to make structural changes and create an independent and reliable computing industry, using its key component – innovation. This will ultimately make the company replace foreign components with self-developed parts for its AI products.

If not immediately, Huawei will definitely achieve advancements in both chipset and AI fields. The company has embarked on the path of “self-reliance” and may soon accomplish its goal of breakthroughs in the chip and AI sector.

The company unveiled the world’s first tri-fold with dynamic camera specs. Despite a thin and light foldable, the Mate XT uses three lenses packed in an octagonal frame.

For parameters, the triple-foldable phone features a 50MP CMOS main camera sensor (1/1.56-inch sensor) alongside 10-speed variable aperture technology (f/1.4 ∼ f/4.0). It also has a 12MP ultrawide angle lens and a 12MP periscope with 5.5x zoom.

As per the specs details, the Huawei Mate XT is the first foldable product to feature a 10-speed variable aperture camera technology. This technology can easily regulate the aperture size based on the scenario or environment to process perfect lighting.

Variable aperture ensures efficient control of light intake to capture the best view even in dim light. It has a diaphragm that manages the amount of light passing through the sensor. The tech leads to more blurred backgrounds with vibrant images.

The Chinese OEM introduced the variable aperture technology with the Mate 50 smartphones. Over time, the company kept upgrading it with more refinements and better features. Now Huawei has imposed this tech to the first tri-fold.

Mate XT variable aperture camera tech can easily capture ultra-clear shots at all focal lengths. It automatically adjusts the light and shadow effects to maintain the delicacy of the image. Thus, users get softer, brighter, and clearer capturing in all scenarios.

The Chinese phone maker has used the “Tiangong” dual-hinge system for the Mate XT Ultimate Design. This folding solution uses two technologies: the largest UTG screen for the internal screen and the non-Newtonian fluid for the external panel.

Let’s understand both terms in detail:

UTG Panel: Ultra-Thin Glass is familiar for its flat and thin display. It easily bends and has scratch-resistant properties. The panel decreases the stress on the folding part, lessens the chances of cracks or scratches, and ensures durability.

Huawei has used the UTG tech on the inner screen to obtain a dual-track linkage. This link will allow the device to bend inside out simultaneously without any issues.

Non-Newtonian fluid: It is a material that can easily shift the viscosity based on the force applied to it. It is mainly sandwiched between the panels and shields the top and bottom display layers from the drop impact and other external damage.

The tech giant used this fluid part on the outer display panels. Together, these solutions form a composite laminated dual-hinge layer. It not only eases the folding but also increases the resistance impact by 30% compared to a book-type foldable.

Huawei Mate XT triple-foldable dual-hinge system comes with three screens. These have different dimensions but bear the same visual capabilities. You can check the details below:

• Single Screen (2232 x 1008 pixels): 73.5 mm wide, 12.8 mm thick, 6.4-inch
• Double Screen (2232 x 2048 pixels): 143.0 mm wide, 7.45 mm/4.75 mm thick, 7.9-inch
• Three-screen (2232 x 3184 pixels): 219.0 mm wide, 3.6/3.6/4.75mm thick, 10.2-inch

The company has used the OLED LTPO panels with a 240Hz maximum touch response, a 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, a P3 wide color gamut, and 1.07 billion colors.

Earlier we reported that Huawei is offering FusionSolar solutions for Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Project. The company collaborated with many partners to prepare this technology. It is finally ready with various capabilities that will boost power supply aspects.

The President says that the microgrid power station is the world’s largest photovoltaic and energy storage solution. It delivers a photovoltaic power of 400MW and 1.3GWh energy storage. It can also cover 100+ km under a stable green energy supply.

Huawei has been working on the grid technology for 10 years. The Chinese OEM initially brought over 30 top scientists and doctors to integrate digital tech, power electronics, and innovation. Together, these aspects built the world’s largest power station.

Red Sea Project

Microgrid power station is a major implementation the the Red Sea New City project. It will be the world’s first green city based on 100% energy storage and photovoltaic tech for power supply. The solution will let it cover 28000 sq. km. including an airport, 50 hotels, 8000+ luxury rooms, a seawater destination, and more.

This will attract 1 million tourists every year. Red Sea New City is a crucial part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2023 program. As per the details, the Huawei microgrid solution has been providing a 1 kWh green power supply to the Red Sea project since September 2023.

In simple words, the microgrid solution not only lessened the power costs but also achieved a record of 10 cents per kWh. This is only 1/3rd of the old diesel power generation techs. That’s just the beginning and we may find many more such achievements in the time ahead.
