What's in Huawei Qingyun HM650 Hardware?
At the heart of the computer is the Kirin X90 processor developed by Huawei. The chip supports 10 cores and 20 threads. In other words, it can execute 20 processes at the same time. In addition, thread means the lines of work that the processor can manage simultaneously.
The graphics side is handled by the integrated Maliang 910 accelerator. Being integrated means that it does not require a separate graphics card. The company's own double-layer system is used for cooling.
First, let's take a look at the main information on the hardware and software side:
Processor: Kirin X90, 10 cores, 20 threads
Graphics: integrated Maliang 910
Cooling: double layer special system
Operating system: HarmonyOS
A Completely Local Chain
Huawei claims that components throughout the chain are manufactured in China. There is no dependence on foreign suppliers, from the processor to the operating system. Therefore, the company positions the HM650 as a completely domestic solution.
On the other hand, it is emphasized that hardware, HarmonyOS and cloud technologies work together. According to the company, thanks to this integrity, the computer is not only used in daily office work. Moreover, it can also be used for engineering design, modeling and programming.
Safety Certificate and Models
The professional version of HarmonyOS with Kirin X90 processor has passed the second level security and reliability certification. Therefore, the certification covers both the processor and the professional version of the operating system. This is especially important for public and corporate buyers.
Because security conditions are decisive in these areas. Two special versions have also been prepared for the corporate and public segments. Thus, Huawei offers separate options to different customer groups.
With the HM650, Huawei's HarmonyOS product family has expanded. The list now includes laptops, foldable screen devices, and desktops. Finally, sales of Qingyun HM650 will start in China on November 5.
