Qualcomm released the world's first use of the process 5nm 5G X60 baseband chip, supports full-band, millimeter wave and comprising 5G 5G centimeter wave technology, of course, also supports SA / NSA dual mode, which up to 7.5Gbps downlink, uplink 3Gbps, in technically, it can be described as a major step forward, but I am afraid that Qualcomm is difficult to be happy for long, because the Chinese mobile phone chip leader Huawei Hass is expected to quickly overtake.
While Qualcomm has released X60 baseband, but is expected to carry this baseband chip 5G mobile phone chips has also been the fastest end of the year to launch, which is leading to the high pace of development, which means that commercial time this baseband chip to get at least the end.
Huawei is expected to release a new generation of 5G chips in September, and is expected next-generation chip will also be a 5G 5G phone SOC chip, which means that Huawei in the pace of business ahead of the high pass at least three months.
In the process for producing the chip, the baseband X60 production process using 5nm Samsung, Huawei Hass by TSMC. TSMC has 5nm trial production process, which means that Huawei Hass released in September 5G 5nm chips will also use TSMC process, in the process, Huawei Hass basic synchronization with Qualcomm, Qualcomm did not lead.
In the full-band support, in fact, released last year, Huawei Kirin 990 5G chip would be able to support, but considering the cost and the world except the United States does not accept the 5G operators millimeter wave technology, the chip did not support Kirin 990 5G 5G millimeter wave technology, Huawei launched this year, it is expected to support the 5G 5G chip millimeter wave technology, but in the domestic market due to not yet adopted 5G millimeter wave technology, perhaps this year, Huawei Hass in the domestic launch of 5G 5G chip will still not support the millimeter wave technology, but it is for the international market launch of the chip will support 5G 5G millimeter wave technology.
From years of development pace Qualcomm's point of view, it has seemed a bit hobbled, it released X50 baseband chip than Huawei's leading more than a year, but to the end of last year it released the high-end chip Xiaolong 865 is still not integrated 5G baseband chip , while Huawei Hass and MediaTek have launched 5G 5G mobile phone SOC chip integrated baseband chip, we can see signs of a high pass on the technology development has been a bit behind the competition.
相反，华为海思和联发科在5G手机SOC芯片技术上均已超越高通，这凸显出华为海思和联发科已成功实现弯道超车。尤其是华为海思近几年快速发展，在技术研发上舍得投入，2019年其研发投入超过千亿人民币，2019年华为的研发投入已位居全球企业前四名。
高通自身则面临着业绩的下滑，为改善业绩不得不裁员增效，这也限制了它在研发方面投入更多的资金，此消彼长之下，华为在资金方面大举投入就拥有了超越高通的实力。
回顾华为海思的发展，它从2005年推出WCDMA基带芯片，用十五年时间从远远落后于美国芯片企业，到如今已取得对高通的领先地位，可见华为在技术上的快速进展，华为所取得的成绩是值得我们自豪的，只要中国出现更多的类似华为这样重视技术研发的企业，中国制造将有机会实现超车欧美制造业。
