Huawei has just introduced its brand new Qingyun L540 laptops for Chinese domestic markets which feature the 5nm Kirin 9006C SOC.
The Huawei Qingyun L540 laptops are the follow-up to the L410 series which featured the Kirin 990 SOC. The new laptops utilize the latest 5nm Kirin 9006C SOC which is designed by HiSilicon and adopts a new Arm-based architecture that offers up to 8 cores.
The CPU configuration includes 4 Cortex A77 cores and 4 Cortex A55 cores. The Cortex A77 core module features a single core that operates at up to 3.13 GHz frequencies while the rest of the cores operate at 2.54 GHz. Meanwhile, the Cortex A55 complex operates at up to 2.05 GHz clock speeds. The SOC also features the Mali-G78 MP22 integrated GPU.
Talking about the Huawei Qingyun L540 laptops themselves, they feature a 14-inch panel with a max resolution of up to 2160x1440 and a max refresh rate of 60 Hz. The panel supports a 100% sRGB color gamut. The laptops ship with a built-in 56Wh battery while I/O includes a fingerprint login, an HD camera, 1 USB Type-C port, 2 USB Type-A ports, 1 audio port, 1 HDMI output, and a Mini RJ45 LAN port.
As far as configurations are concerned, the Huawei Qingyun comes with up to 16 GB of memory & up to 512 GB SSD storage. All laptops feature the same Kirin 9006C 8-Core SOC. Huawei Central compiled the full list along with the prices as seen below:
1. 8GB + 256GB Storage variant
2. 8GB + 512GB Storage variant
3. 16GB + 512GB Storage variant

Chinese Mini PC manufacturer, FEVM, has launched its socketed design that features the LGA 1700 socket and supports discrete GPUs in a compact form factor.
Huawei’s comeback has been noticed by industry insiders, and most notably, its competitors, as the Mate 60 flagship series and the Kirin 9000S SoC pairing created a sales storm in China, garnering immense popularity that allowed the company to post an incredible 90 percent growth in October. However, Huawei’s resurgence might not be as meteoric as one previously expected because the latest data reveals that Apple has three iPhone models that are in the top 5 best-selling spot for the region.
A new leak provides evidence that Huawei will not be limiting itself to the Kirin 9000S and intends to bring new chipsets to the more affordable options as it attempts to regain control of a market it was dominating before trade sanctions took their hold in 2019. The former Chinese giant is said to be working on the Kirin 8000, with the silicon expected to debut in a non-flagship model.
AMD & Intel motherboard partners are aiming for a Q3 2024 launch for the next-gen 700-series "AM5" & 800-series "LGA 1851" platforms.
Huawei has remained mum on the subject of building its own fabrication plants, and that is likely to avoid further trade restrictions from the U.S. However, a recent patent filing provides evidence that the former Chinese giant is going the extra mile to reduce dependency on foreign companies. The patent application date is June 2022, describing a process for improving wafer alignment and efficiency. It is titled ‘Wafer Processing Device and Wafer Processing Method’ and provides some evidence that Huawei wishes to build its chip plants, which can mean it may want to rid itself of SMIC too.
Intel's Gaudi 3 AI accelerator reportedly employs the TSMC 5nm process and is expected to compete with NVIDIA H100 & AMD MI300X.
A Chinese laptop maker has put together a unique configuration that offers up to a 64 Core AMD EPYC CPU, NVIDIA RTX 40 Desktop GPUs & liquid cooling.
Huawei is working on a new smartphone launch, and according to the detailed specifications shared by a tipster, it will be powered by a new chipset, dubbed the Kirin ‘K9.’ Whether or not it is a rebranded version of the Kirin 9000S, we discuss further in our findings, so read on.
After its debut in Vivo's home market, the company's camera-centric flagships have now been announced for the global market. This would mainly include Europe and Southeast Asian markets, where the company has a noticeable presence. Vivo has announced both its X100 Pro and the X100 for global markets, and they both pack in some interesting specifications. Both smartphones will compete with the likes of Samsung's Galaxy S23 series and the upcoming Galaxy S24 series, which is set to debut in January 2024.
If you want your shiny new Intel Core UItra laptop to come with an equally shiny Arc Graphics badge, then you're going to need to make sure you have at least 16GB of memory inside your machine and that it's configured in dual-channel mode, too.

Intel has taken the wraps off its new Meteor Lake-based Core Ultra laptop CPUs, and it's aiming these low-power chips squarely at my favourite AMD chip of all time—the Ryzen 7 7840U. That's the similarly low-power Zen 4 processor at the heart of the latest Framework 13 mainboard, but also every single non-Valve handheld gaming PC that was released this year.
