Chinese company Huawei announced a new desktop computer that it says is the first of its kind to be entirely manufactured from Chinese components, running on a processor and operating system developed by the company. The device is named "Qingyun HM 650" and is based on the "Kirin X90" processor developed by Huawei, along with an enterprise-specific version of the "Harmony OS" operating system, instead of Microsoft's Windows. Huawei stated that all computer components were made in China, including the processor, memory, storage units, power supply, and wireless communication components. Huawei previously relied on Intel processors and Windows in some of its computers, before expanding its development of its own processors and operating systems. Huawei launched the new computer at a technology conference held on November 5, targeting primarily government institutions and Chinese companies seeking to use devices that rely more on local technologies. The device runs on the "Kirin X90" processor, which has ten cores and 20 processing threads, with a frequency of up to 2.3 GHz. The computer is available in a version with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, starting at 7,199 Chinese yuan, about $1,078. The company also released another version named "Qingyun HM 650 J", equipped with an eight-core processor, 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of storage.
