While Huawei is known to offer its smartphones with its proprietary chipset from the HiSilicon Kirin series, its PC offerings (including laptop and desktops) usually offer either an Intel or AMD chipset. But now, a new leak has suggests that the company might be replacing the processors from these brands, in favor of its own “Pangu” CPU.
According to tipster @魔法科技君 on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website), the brand is aiming on launching a new Pangu chipset for PCs, which will replace the Intel Core and AMD Ryzen series processors. Furthermore, the leak also shared the possible launch timeline for this new CPU. It will reportedly launch sometime in June of next year. Apart from this information, the tipster did not reveal any finer details regarding this upcoming in house PC CPU.
However, the social media post also stated that the new processor from the Chinese tech giant will not be suitable for ordinary consumers. In other words, we likely won’t see it being launched in MateBook series of notebooks. This could also mean that it might be an exclusive chip for either its MateStation series of professional desktop PCs, or that it will have applications in the company’s server operations.
Notably, the upcoming Pangu processor could even be based on the ARM architecture, which has recently started emerging in the PC market after Apple launched its M1 MacBooks. Meaning, this processor could possibly even compete with the M1 or Qualcomm Snapdragon cx/c series powered laptops as well in the future. Keep ind mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report, so take it with a pinch of salt for now and stay tuned for more updates.
