Huawei launched its Qingyun HM650 series on Thursday at the HarmonyOS Office Industry Summit in Wuhan, pairing a 10-core Kirin X90 processor with a Maleoon 910 GPU and running HarmonyOS V1.0, the first time the company has put its own operating system on a desktop product.
The line is being promoted as the country's first desktop to receive certification as "100 per cent domestic", covering components from the processor to memory modules, the South China Morning Post reported, though the paper noted the exact scope of that certification is unclear.
Two SKUs split the launch: HM650 for enterprise buyers and HM650G for government, aimed at finance and energy sector fleets. Reported China pricing starts at 6,899 yuan for the 8-core HM650G configuration with 16GB of memory.
The Kirin X90, designed by Huawei's chip-design arm HiSilicon, received a "Level 2 national certification for security and reliability" last year, the step that opens wider government and SOE procurement. Huawei claims a 15 per cent performance gain from hardware-software integration, and says "more than 21,000 applications" are now compatible with HarmonyOS.
It lands inside a broader push for a self-sufficient Chinese computing stack; our chips tracker has logged 328 chip-related alerts in the last 90 days.
