Qingyun HM650 uses Kirin X90 processor and HarmonyOS; one government agency bought 600 units as China shifts from Wintel.

Huawei claims to have built a desktop PC using only parts made in China. The Qingyun HM650 features a ten-core 20-thread Kirin X90 processor running at 2.3 GHz and a newly developed enterprise version of HarmonyOS. A single Chinese government agency has reportedly purchased 600 machines. Beijing has ordered all government entities to switch from Wintel boxes to local alternatives. While Huawei states 100 percent local components, it is unclear if all use Chinese designs, as many non-Chinese firms still operate factories in China. The debut is seen as bad news for Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm amid shrinking PC markets.
