Huawei makes processor breakthrough in flagship smartphone
华为旗舰手机实现芯片技术突破
Facing US sanctions, Chinese company emulates Apple by using its own designs in chips for Mate 60 Pro
对华为Mate 60 Pro主芯片的分析显示，华为可能已经跻身有能力设计自有芯片的杰出大型科技公司行列。
Huawei is emulating Apple in developing the processors that power its latest smartphone, a breakthrough that will help the Chinese company to reduce its reliance on foreign technology as it confronts US sanctions. Analysis of the main chip inside the Mate 60 Pro smartphone, which launched at the end of last month and immediately sold out, reveals that Huawei has joined the elite group of Big Tech companies capable of designing their own semiconductors.
在开发用于其最新款智能手机的处理器方面，华为(Huawei)正在效仿苹果(Apple)。这是一个突破，将有助于这家面对美国制裁的中国公司减少对外国技术的依赖。
Four of the eight central processing units in the Mate 60 Pro’s “system on a chip” (SoC) rely purely on a design by Arm, the British company whose chip architecture powers 99 per cent of smartphones.
对Mate 60 Pro智能手机内部主芯片的分析显示，华为已经跻身有能力设计自有芯片的杰出大型科技公司行列。该智能手机上月底一推出便立即售罄。
The other four CPUs are Arm-based but feature Huawei’s own designs and adaptations, according to three people familiar with the Mate’s development and Geekerwan, a Chinese technology testing company that took a closer look at the main chip.
在Mate 60 Pro的“系统级芯片”(SoC)的8个中央处理器(CPU)中，有4个完全依赖安谋(Arm)的设计。99%的智能手机都采用这家英国公司的芯片架构。
