Huawei Launches Homegrown PCs With Custom Processors and Linux-Based OS
Huawei is advancing its strategy for technology independence by introducing two new desktop computer models built entirely with Chinese components. The Qingyun line—featuring the W515y and W585y models—represents the company's latest effort to provide computing solutions free from foreign hardware. These systems integrate Huawei's Kirin 9000X chip with locally developed Linux software, instead of Microsoft Windows. Users can choose between UOS V20 from Tongxin or Galaxy Kylin V10. While details about the hardware are still emerging, the Kirin 9000X is an eight-core Arm-based chip with 16 threads, operating at 2.5 GHz. It could be a big.LITTLE deisgn, or a big-core only SoC. The desktops feature quad-channel LPDDR5x memory and support both flash storage and conventional hard drives.
