HiSilicon (Chinese: 海思; pinyin: Hǎisī) is a Chinese fabless semiconductor company based in Shenzhen, Guangdong and fully owned by Huawei.
HiSilicon purchased licenses from ARM Holdings for at least ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore, ARM Cortex-M3, ARM Cortex-A7 MPCore, ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore,ARM Cortex-A53, and ARM Cortex-A57 and also for the Mali-T628 MP4.
HiSilicon also purchased licenses from Vivante Corporation for their GC4000 graphics core.
HiSilicon is reputed to be the largest domestic designer of integrated circuits in China.
The first well known product of HiSilicon is the K3V2 used in Huawei Ascend D Quad XL (U9510) smartphones and Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD7 tablets. This chipset is based on the ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore fabbed at 40 nm and uses a 16 core Vivante GC4000 GPU. The SoC support LPDDR2-1066, but actual products are found with LPDDR-900 instead for lower power consumption.
This is a revised version of K3V2 SoC with improved support of Intel baseband. The SoC support LPDDR2-1066, but actual products are found with LPDDR-900 instead for lower power consumption.
