| Follow in Apple's footsteps: Huawei starts the computer with its own processor |
Apple is no longer the only company that makes computers that can run with its own processors. It appears that the Chinese company Huawei has joined in. It is part of a larger project China is undertaking to break its dependence on Western technology.
In China, detailed information and pictures of the named device (MateStation B515) MateStation B515 and a desktop computer were shown. It is sold to the Chinese government and companies first, and then to ordinary consumers.
Interestingly, Huawei's new MateStation B515 includes a processor called Kunpeng 920, which was developed by HiSilicon (Huawei's chip manufacturing division) and made by TSMC Taiwan using 7nm technology.
The MateStation B515 processor has four or eight cores with a frequency of 2.6 GHz.
Unlike Apple, Huawei uses various standard components in the rest of the computer's specs, including four UDIMM ports that support adding 64 GB of DDR4-2400 memory (RAM). In addition to two M.2 SSDs, the computer also supports up to six SATA 3.0 drives.
Huawei opted for AMD R7 Radeon 430 external discrete graphics (AMD R7 Radeon 430). Since the motherboard contains many PCIe 3.0 connectors, it can extend the functionality of a computer. In addition to two NICs for Ethernet connectivity, there are four USB 3.0 ports and four USB 2.0 ports.
Huawei MateStation B515 will be equipped with a 23.8-inch desktop display with a resolution of 1080p, support for NTSC color technology at 72%, provide a contrast ratio of 187: 1 and a contrast ratio of 1000: 1.
