In 2019, it was called 5G commercial in the first year. With the arrival of the 5G era, all major mobile phone manufacturers were layout 5G market, and 5G chips also became head mobile phone manufacturers and chip suppliers' strategically.
A few days ago, Samsung announced the release of 5G processor Exynos980. The processor adopts 8nm process, supports the fifth generation communication standard. This is the first 5G integrated SOC product launched by Samsung Electronics. It is expected to be larger mass production at the end of this year.
Qualcomm Snapdron 865, Apple A13 processor, etc. will also meet with you in the second half of this year, and there will be the first flagship 5G SOC chip in IFA 2019 in Berlin, Germany, will be held on September 6 this year.
It is understood that the unicorn 990 can be said to be the only mobile phone chip in the domestic market with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, Apple A13, which uses a 7nm + EUV process. According to the break, the chip will first integrate 5G baseband for the first time. And support 4K 60FPS for video recording, or it is also possible to integrate self-study Bluetooth chips.
Of course, whether it is the mobile phone chip produced, if you want to pull the head in the 5G era, you must do a deep penetration in the basic skills. One is the basic ability of 5G, one is the AI bottom algorithm ability. .
With the continuous commercial use of Huawei 5G technology, more and more Chinese consumers feel the convenience of 5G, which is because Huawei took the lead in land 5G application, so that Chinese consumers first experienced the happiness of the 5G era. Feel.
China Mobile, Huawei 5G standard project represents China in the first camp
Relevant data shows that as of November 2018, 182 operators in the world have conducted 5G trials, deployment and investment in 78 countries, but from the world's 5G standards and passed the quantity, China Mobile has 10 items. Huawei has 8 items, Ericsson has 6, Qualcomm has 5 items, which can be seen that China Mobile, Huawei, etc., is in the first camp of 5G standard.
Data Analysis Company GlobalData has also released the world's first 5G RAN (wireless access network) ranking report, which judges from four key dimensions such as baseband capacity, RF product portfolio, easy degrees and technology evolutionary capacity. The 5G capabilities of the company provide a reference. The chart shows that Huawei 5G capabilities lead the mainstream communications equipment providers such as Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung and ZTE, have got a number of first.
Not only that, in the chip commercial use, Huawei released Huawei Mate 20 x (5g) in August this year, is the only commercial support for SA / NSA 5G dual-mode network at the time. The two-network network is especially important in the current 4G transition phase, from the current development of the 5G industry, most of the countries in South Korea, the first batch of 5G networks in 5G networks are NSA network, but from various countries The SA network will be the final choice for the overall layout of 5G. Just currently from 4G to 5G to see NSA may continue to use in the 5G environment, but if there are only SA layouts, the SA mobile phone cannot be able to enjoy the convenience of 5G networks.
At the same time, in the chip process, the Qilin series chip has been pursuing advanced technology, Kirin 970 and Kirin 980 have achieved 10nm and 7nm world's first commercial use. With the years of adherence to high quality crafts, Huawei Qilin series has launched unicorn 920, Kirin 930, Kirin 950, Kirin 960, Kirin 970, Qilin 980 and other chips.
Huawei Fellow Ai Wei once recalls: "Every product will encounter engineering skills. When we finally came over, it was found that it was still too simple ... Every generation came over, sometimes there is even The feeling of nine dead life. "
From the chip itself, the Kirin 990 chip stronger is strong in its built-in Palong 5000 baseband, the function of the built-in baseband is that it can achieve 5G network without plug-in 5G chip. The Snapdragon 865 must take a 5G network with hanging groups. At this point, the strength of the unicorn chip is more obvious.
It is understood that Huawei's consistent practice is to release the chip and release new mobile phones. Huawei consumers business CEO Yu Chengdong also issued Weibo, Huawei Mate series new machine - Huawei Mate 30 will be equipped with Kirin 990 chips on September 19th Munich met, this also supports 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G, NSA / SA networking mode 5G all Netcom mobile phone will soon further prove that Huawei's true power in 5G commercial use.
Kirin 990 will use Da Vinci architecture NPU, AI's strength is better
The application of AI on the phone is nothing more than a better application and faster information processing capabilities. It is understood that when AI is still in a germination state, the Kirin chip takes the lead in adding an independent artificial intelligence calculation unit in the chip to achieve more real-time AI applications, such as AI portraits, etc., can shoot video while shooting video Put the character fine map to achieve a particular effect of the protagonist.
In addition, another highlight of Huawei Qilin chip is the application of Huawen's Daxi architecture NPU. This architecture is equipped with this chip's mobile phone in one game. Titanium media learned that Huawei Da Vinci calculation architecture can achieve synergy between AI multi-stage multi-scenes, as well as strong AI integrity in different volume and power consumption.
Huawei said in the official interpretation of Da Vinci architecture. Specifically, Da Vinci architecture is mainly competitive, mainly in three points:
1. Adopt 3D CUBE for matrix operations to accelerate, significantly increase the AI power of unit power consumption, each AI Core can implement 4096 MAC operations within a clock cycle, which is upgraded than the traditional CPU and GPU implementation.
2. In order to enhance the completeness of AI and calculation efficiency of different scenes, Da Vinci architecture also integrates a variety of calculation units such as vector, scale, hardware accelerator. At the same time, multiple accuracy calculations, support training, and the data accuracy requirements of two scenes are supported, and the full-scene demand of AI is covered.
3. Based on the unity of the Da Vinci architecture, the developer only needs one operator development and commissioning when the cloud, edge side, end side, etc., can be applied to different platforms, which is significantly reduced. Migration costs. Not only the development platform language is unified, the training and reasoning framework is also unified. Developers can put a large number of training models in local and cloud servers, and then put lightweight reasoning work on mobile devices, obtain a consistent development experience.
Taking the mobile phone series application as an example, after NOVA5 adopts Da Vinci architecture NPU, the Glory 9X series also realizes the "green screen" effect of the movie production, when the user is "performance" before the camera, can be in the video Recorded simultaneous segmentation background, hair, clothes, attachment, etc., easy access to film level effects.
In the past two years, Huawei has also proposed Huawei Ai Strategy and Full Scene Ai Solution, which includes the ability of Ai underlying and high thresholds, such as chips, chip enable CANN, deep learning framework Mindspore, including AI products The ability to chemize, including Huawei intelligent calculation of ATLAS series AI products, and Huawei cloud AI service, which constitutes the foundation of the underlying computing power of Huawei AI.
