Chinese computer giant Huawei is switching gears in its latest pre-built PC and using homemade silicon instead of Western-built 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs. As reported by Huawei Central, the new Qingyun W515x is equipped with China's bleeding-edge octa-core Kirin 9000C processor, which clocks up to 3.1 GHz.
The new system is a slimline OEM PC that targets large businesses. It sports a plain black finish and a slim Micro-ATX form factor that only supports low-profile PCIe cards. The Quingyun W515x has three hardware configurations: 8GB + 256GB, 8GB + 512GB, and 16GB + 512GB memory and storage combinations. The storage options include a single NVMe M.2 PCIe slot.

That’s exactly where the article should’ve started and ended rather than becoming a propaganda piece. We vs them adage is exhausting.
Anyway, it didn’t even bring up the software ecosystem. It obviously would have HarmonyOS support out of the box but is there more in regards to Linux and maybe Android? We’ll never know..
