Recently, Huawei applied for the registration of the Kirin Processor trademark. The application time was the 22nd of last month, and the current status is an application for registration. Huawei’s chip has not stopped research and development, but in the intensive design, waiting for the opportunity to come back.
Previously, Huawei Xu Zhijun said that there is no place to process any of HiSilicon’s chips. As part of Huawei’s chip design, it is not a profit-seeking company, but Huawei has no profit-seeking demand for it, and the team will continue to exist.
At present, HiSilicon continues to do research, continues to develop, continues to accumulate, and makes preparations for the future. The more important news is that Huawei’s latest 3nm chip has begun to develop and design, and it was finally named Kirin 9010.
However, from the perspective of the manufacturer, TSMC’s 3nm process is still immature, and it is reported that the process is expected to be 2022. To achieve mass production, which means that Huawei’s latest generation of Kirin 9010 will take some time to come out.
A development board Hi3861 provided by Huawei to Hongmeng developers has also attracted attention. Although no official information has been disclosed, this is Huawei’s first chip based on the RISC-V architecture.

The Chinese page shows that the Hi3861 WLAN module is a development board about 2cm*5cm in size. It is a 2.4GHz WLAN SoC chip, integrated with 802.11b/g/n baseband and RF circuits, and supports the Hongmeng system. The official specifications show that Hi3861 is a 32-bit chip with a maximum frequency of 160MHz, embedded 352KB SRAM, 288KB ROM, 2MB Flash, etc.
On HiSilicon’s official website, you can also find the Hi3861LV100 and Hi3861V100 chips associated with Hi3861, which are mainly used in the Internet of Things. No introduction of RISC-V was found. We don’t know if it was a foreigner’s misunderstanding or other internal information.
In fact, after the fall of MIPS, RISC-V is considered to be the rising star of hope for the third-largest CPU architecture after x86 and ARM. It is also a streamlined instruction set, but it is completely open-source. Currently, Alibaba, Amazon, etc. have developed related chips, and even Jim Keller, the father of Apple’s A4/A5 and AMD Athlon/Zen architecture, has also ventured into RISC-V.
