Huawei has unveiled its first τ chip featuring "Logic Folding" technology—the Kirin 9050 series, equipped with a new-generation Da Vinci architecture NPU. The chip delivers a 140% performance boost and a 66% reduction in power consumption, and supports technologies such as the Transformer engine. It is the industry's first product to run a 30B MoE large model entirely on-device, functioning without an internet connection. The chip also supports multi-level compute-storage collaborative optimization and low-bit quantization, enabling features such as AI screen reading, Xmage Smart Photography 2.0, AI eye-tracking page turning, and Always-On Map 2.0. A relevant Huawei executive stated that this chip series will embark on a new journey for the next decade, with the goal of achieving P-core frequencies exceeding 5GHz by 2031.
