The PC industry has been dominated from the beginning by x86, especially by Intel, and by Micorosoft with its Windows. But that is changing lately. That alliance that became known as Wintel is slowly losing strength because the alternatives that are coming do so in a promising way. So Huawei has decided to move from Intel, AMD and Microsoft toyour new team.
El PC will be on sale in China, and it may not come out of there or perhaps they are encouraged to extend it to other countries in the future. And after the vetoes of the US government, from Huawei they have proposed to show them that they do not need them to create computing machines.
And withoutor use Microsoft Windows, no Intel or AMD chips… what do you use? Well, although some analyzes have detected some performance and compatibility problems (it does not support 32-bit apps) compared to conventional PCs, the truth is that it has a design that could be very attractive in the near future.
In fact, Apple you already know that it has taken this same route after breaking up with Intel. Therefore, it is not such a bad idea ... And if Apple manages to create an ARM chip for the desktop With enough performance, the rest can too. Just look at the existing projects for high-performance chips for supercomputing based on ARM ...
The PC technical details of Huawei are:
- Motherboard made by Huawei. Specifically, they are using a D920S10 board, with 6 SATA III ports, two M.2 for solid state hard drives, 2x USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI.
- Kunpeng 920 processor based on eight ARM cores at 2.6 Ghz. The chip is manufactured in 7nm node.
- Conference proceedings 16 GB RAM Kingston DDR4-2666.
- Yeston RX550 GPU.
- HDD SSD 256 GB.
- Power supply 200w.
- Linux based operating system and designed in China.
You can see more details About this Huawei PC in the official video that they have published on their YouTube channel:
Excellent!!
Very good news. It says that it does not support 32-bit applications, with that it implies that it supports 64-bit applications. If you can install whatever operating system you want, whatever linux distro you want, that would be great.
The Chinese do not have water, we know how they spend it
how much will it cost?
Huawei, in a few years it will give a lot to talk about. Few people are aware of the enormous potential that Huawei has, much less Trump's hydro-alcoholic drinker. Huawei is the only company, worldwide, to be able to unseat or overshadow Android, Windows, Intel, Amd, etc. Time to time, 5 years from now we talk.
The OS is 64-bit UOS.
As in any liGnux I think they could install 32-bit libraries, but most articles in the West seem to have been written with the slogan of "make them green" and not that of (e) nvidia, worth the nerdy joke.
What they do lack, for the moment they are non-compilable proprietary programs like Steam, which I don't think will take a long time to make a version for these computers, which will grow a lot in China due to the trade war.
And in the West for the much praised Apple hardware change just a week ago.
