Four of the eight central processing units in the Mate 60 Pro’s “system on a chip” (SoC) rely purely on a design by Arm, the British company whose chip architecture powers 99 percent of smartphones.
The other four CPUs are Arm-based but feature Huawei’s own designs and adaptations, according to three people familiar with the Mate’s development and Geekerwan, a Chinese technology testing company that took a closer look at the main chip.
I could design my own processor cores too if had the means of a genocidal, totalitarian superpower.
It will be interesting once these chips are truly in the wild to see how much is actually their “own design” and how much is built off of stolen western IP
