The Mate40 series is out of stock mainly because the supply chain and production capacity cannot meet the huge market demand, and capacity and supply will gradually increase in the future, the Securities Times quoted a Huawei insider as saying, adding that the Mate40 Pro+ will still be severely out of stock.
This is mainly due to the fact that the Mate40 Pro+ is powered by the Kirin 9000 5G SoC chip.
The Kirin 9000 5G SoC is Huawei's first 5nm chip with a 5 nm process and 15.3 billion transistors. It is powered by an octa-core CPU, 24-core Mali-G78 GPU, 2 big cores + 1 small core NPU.
In August, Huawei Consumer Business CEO Richard Yu said that Huawei's Kirin series chips could not be manufactured after September 15 due to US sanctions.
The Securities Times reported that for Huawei's future road, Huawei insiders revealed that chips without US technology are hard to make in the short term, and its mobile phone business development will face a slippery slope.
But Huawei will continue to operate normally, such as increasing the IOT layout, etc., to enhance the proportion of other non-cell phone business, the person said.
