Why does Huawei P60 Art not use Kirin chips

Huawei can be said to be a major mobile phone manufacturer in China. The smartphones it launched earlier not only had high hardware configurations, but also were equipped with Huawei's self-developed Kirin series chips. Its chip capabilities could be said to have competed with Qualcomm's Snapdragon and Apple's A-series processors at that time. However, the recently launched Huawei P60 Art phone did not use Kirin chips, what is the reason?

Why does Huawei P60 Art not use Kirin chips

The chip is stuck in the neck by the United States

According to the Huawei P60 parameters released by Huawei Mall, all three models use Qualcomm chips and do not use Huawei Kirin chips. Due to the bottleneck of chips in the United States and the long run out of inventory of Huawei Kirin chips, it seems that Huawei phones are still unable to use self-developed chips and can only use chips from friends.

From the Huawei P60 parameters, it is equipped with a Qualcomm 8-core processor with a CPU frequency of 1x [email protected] 3x [email protected] 4x [email protected] . Those who are familiar with Qualcomm chips should know that this processor is the first generation Snapdragon 8+processor, the flagship chip of Qualcomm last year, and the latest second-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which is currently the second flagship processor.

The above is the specific reason why Huawei P60 Art does not use Kirin chips. Due to US sanctions, Huawei not only cannot use 5G chips, but also cannot find a OEM factory to process its own Kirin series chips, so it can only use Snapdragon 8+processors!
