Recently, some media reported that the United States has cancelled the chip licenses of Intel and Qualcomm to Huawei.

The meaning is that Huawei will no longer be able to purchase chips from Qualcomm and Intel this time, whether it is Soc, CPU, baseband chips, RF chips, etc.

For a moment, many people claimed that this had a huge impact on Huawei, especially in the PC industry. After all, Huawei PC is currently the third largest in China, and 90% of Huawei PCs use Intel CPUs.

To be honest, this is actually a double-edged sword, with a huge impact on Huawei and a huge impact on Qualcomm.

Recently, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Qualcomm stated that although the United States does not allow Qualcomm to export chips to Huawei, in fact, Huawei will no longer purchase chips from Qualcomm.

So Qualcomm expects that it will not receive any chip sales revenue from Huawei in the next year.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. In the past, Huawei could only purchase 4G chips from Qualcomm. Now that Huawei's Kirin chips have returned and RF chips have been replaced with domestic ones, what reason is there to purchase chips from Qualcomm?

So instead of saying that Qualcomm doesn't sell chips to Huawei, it's more accurate to say that Huawei no longer needs Qualcomm's chips.

For Intel, the situation with Qualcomm is actually similar.

Huawei used to be inseparable from Intel, after all, in the CPU field, Intel was second, and no one dared to say first. More importantly, Intel's CPU can form the strongest wintel ecosystem with Windows, and no other ecosystem can match Intel in the PC field.

However, if Intel does not sell CPUs to Huawei, Huawei will have multiple options to turn around. The first is self-developed, as it has chips such as Kirin and Kunpeng. It is not difficult for Huawei to develop another CPU on its own, and it does not require Windows. Huawei has its own HarmonyOS, let alone domestically produced UOS and Kirin software, which are also good.

The second option is to directly use other domestic CPUs, such as Loongson, Megachip, Haiguang, Feiteng, Shenwei, etc. These domestic CPUs are also quite mature, and the ecosystem can use HarmonyOS or domestic operating systems such as UOS.

Huawei's semiconductor test probes play an important role, whether it is self-developed or using other domestically produced CPUs.

Semiconductor test probes are generally composed of three basic components: needle, spring, and needle tube, all of which are formed by precision instruments after riveting and preloading.

Semiconductor testing probes are mainly used in semiconductor chip design verification, wafer testing, and finished product testing, and are the core components that run through the entire chip production process. It has extremely low contact resistance and ultra-high bandwidth, which can meet the testing requirements of 5-40G high-frequency signals.

Semiconductor testing probes are used for precise connections between wafer/chip pins or solder balls and testing machines, to achieve signal transmission and detect performance indicators such as conductivity, current, functionality, and aging of products. The production of test probes, whether the structure is reasonable, whether the size error is reasonable, whether the needle is skewed, and other issues will directly affect the testing accuracy of the probes, and thus affect the testing and verification effectiveness of semiconductor chip products. Therefore, choosing a strong probe manufacturer is very important!

      centalic It is a company that has exceededA national high-tech enterprise with a "fully self operated and large-scale" probe production line for 40 years, focusing on the research and development and manufacturing of various testing probes. At present, the minimum probe diameter that can be processed for this type of probe is: needle diameter: 0.06mm/needle tube diameter: 0.10mm.
