On Sept. 15, new restrictions barring sales of U.S. components to Chinese tech giant Huawei went into effect. Those rules would have prevented Intel , AMD , and other American chipmakers from selling any new chips to Huawei.
But shortly after that deadline passed, Intel and AMD announced they had obtained special government licenses that will enable them to continue selling chips to Huawei. Huawei installs Intel and AMD’s x86 CPUs in its PCs and servers, as well as Intel’s Altera FPGA (field programmable gate array) chips in its 5G base stations.
German chipmaker and semiconductor manufacturer Infineon will continue to ship “the great majority of products” to Chinese tech giant Huawei.
TSMC can’t sell to Huawai, this looks like an attack on this industry leader.
Qualcomm put in a big order from Samsung, another blow to TSMC.
The partnership led to the creation of a Chinese edition of Time for Kids aimed for use in classrooms across the world.
The digital magazine rollout was “made possible by Huawei and Tan Chong International Limited 陳唱國際有限公司 ,” a collaborative effort that Time for Kids editor in chief Andrea Delbanco described herself as being “thrilled” about. The initiative was spurred by COVID-19 and the ensuing shift to online learning, with PR Newswire describing the effort as a “continuation of [Time’s] global initiative to offer digital editions of the school-based publication in multiple languages to support teachers, families and students around the world during this period of school closures due to the coronavirus pandemic.”
China’s Huawei has opened its Innovations and Development Center in Belgrade on Monday.
The center was opened in the presence of Prime Minister Ana Brnabic and the Chinese ambassador to Belgrade. President Aleksandar Vucic, who signed the pledge in the Oval Office, was not present.
The center will focus on accelerating Serbia’s digital transformation, and help the economy grow.
Brnabic praised the collaboration with Huawei, and denied it violates Serbia’s pledge, made in Washington, not to buy 5G network equipment from unreliable vendors. She added that projects with Huawei will be more visible within a year in the country.
Serbia has projects worth hundreds of millions with Huawei. They include the 5G network, artificial intelligence, digitalization of education and smart cities, Brnabic said.
One of the items in pledges signed by Serbia and Kosovo was the following:
“Both parties will prohibit the use of 5G equipment supplied by untrusted vendors in their mobile communication networks. Where such equipment is already present, both parties commit to removal and other mediation efforts in a timely fashion.”
Huawei unveils updated Harmony OS on Thursday – a self-developed operating system widely seen as alternative to Google Android – and gave its direct response to US escalated crackdown on its technology & supply chain. All Huawei Smartphones Will Support Harmony OS in 2021 Amid Android Ban.
Huawei released testing version of its updated self-developed operating system HarmonyOS 2.0 to developers, and it is scheduled to release a version for mobile phone in December, Yu noted. “HarmonyOS will be used in smartphones in next year,” he said.
The development is considered the Chinese tech giant’s direct response to the expanded ban from the Trump administration as the tech cold war between the US and China heats up and poses a severe threat to the global supply chain, particularly as September 15, the deadline for cutting off the supply of chipsets to Huawei looms.
Huawei today announced that it has worked with research partners to complete a deterministic WAN innovation trial, achieving the world’s first 100-microsecond delay jitter control over a transmission distance of more than 2,000 kilometers.
According to Huawei, this has laid an important foundation for production control and high-precision services such as ultra-long-range industrial interconnections and high-precision vehicle networking.
Currently, the number of global machine communication connections has approached 30 billion, and is growing rapidly year by year, and is expected to reach 10,000 billion connections in 2035.
According to Huawei, the communication mode and traffic model of intelligent machines will change fundamentally, in which remote control, intelligent manufacturing and other data communication scenarios put forward high deterministic bearing requirements of ultra-low latency and ultra-low jitter on the network.
