On March 18th, it was reported that Huawei is planning to completely phase out 32-bit applications, with their next-generation Kirin processor set to fully embrace a 64-bit full big core design.

According to sources, Huawei is developing several new Kirin chips, all of which will abandon the 32-bit architecture in favor of a 64-bit core structure. This shift not only underscores Huawei's relentless pursuit of technological advancement but also hints at the upcoming generation of chips possessing a more advanced and practical foundational architecture.

Looking back, Huawei introduced the 7nm 64-bit ARM-compatible processor, the Kunpeng 920, many years ago. This processor boasted 8 DDR4 RAM channels and two 100GbE ports, showcasing Huawei's formidable prowess in chip design. Now, leaked information suggests that Huawei is fully transitioning to a 64-bit architecture for producing new chips, a decision that undoubtedly solidifies its leading position in the global chip market. s_9494e9badb4346b3a8a555f6d81ae82b.jpg For consumers, this shift will bring about numerous benefits.
