Huawei claims it’s built a desktop PC that uses only parts made in CHina.
The company launched the Qingyun HM650 last week and said it uses Huawei’s own Kirin X90 processor, a ten-core 20-thread machine with a clock speed of 2.3 GHz. The machine runs a newly developed enterprise version of HarmonyOS, the OS Huawei developed to end its dependence on Android and which it intends to run on most of the devices it makes.

Because I didn’t see it in the article, and had to go digging: looks like it’s an ARM processor, so “PC” only in the sense of being a personal computer, not IBM PC-compatible.
Wouldn’t an ARM processor not be a Chinese design though? Maybe they just mean it’s physically only made with Chinese parts but I’m not sure that’d be impressive.
They can design their own ARM cores, they don’t need to use ARM the organization’s cores. Apple does that, which is why they have, arguably, the best SoCs out there. Laptop chips beating high end desktop x86 CPUs in single thread and multi thread, phone chip more or less matching or beating high end desktop x86 CPUs in short burst single thread (cooling being the limiting factor for anything else).
If Huawei does the same, future Matebooks might drive the likes of Dell and HP out of the laptop business.
I just thought the specification itself wasn’t 100% Chinese is all.
Specs and benchmarks?
Well, they won’t be on GamersNexus.
Why not? GN has visited China before.
You can read this reply chain.
Of course not, they pivoted to 3d printing and news. Which I find awesome.
Did they?
I still see case reviews in recent months. Just no GPUS or CPUs because nobody is releasing any.
They’d do reviews if they thought consumers could afford things. I love them so much. The only journalism I trust.
Maybe a decade from now, when tech Jesus has snow white hair and it’s in the form of an expose about chips being smuggled into the US.
“We here at Games Nexus wanted to test this non-lithographic SoC, but were told by our government that we couldn’t have any, as most of it went to the pentagon.”
Tech Jesus❤️❤️❤️
