Recently we’ve seen a resurgence in popularity for Windows on ARM. Microsoft themselves made a big deal about by announcing the Microsoft Surface Pro X running on a Qualcomm ARM chipset. Since then, we’ve only seen more ARM-powered Windows devices appear. The only provider for these chipsets was Qualcomm, but Huawei seems to want in now.

Huawei recently introduced the Kunpeng D920S10 desktop motherboard. What this does is allow Huawei’s Kunpeng 920 processor to power PCs, which increases the likelihood of Huawei launching an ARM PC pretty soon. Technically nothing is set in stone, but there’s no way the company isn’t at least slightly interested in an ARM PC with their own chipset.

The Kunpeng 920 chip is a 7nm ARMv8 processor with a top speed of 2.6 GHz that will be available in quad-core or octa-core varieties (although the server versions of the chip can come with up to 64 CPU cores. Huawei’s D920S10 board will support up to 64GB of DDR-2400 RAM (with four slots for memory) and up to six SATA 3.0 hard drives. It also has two M.2 slots for solid state storage, and three PCIe slots.

While Windows 10 on ARM was initially referred to by Qualcomm as “Windows 10 on Snapdragon,” it is now referred to as “Windows 10 on ARM,” which leaves things open for other chipset manufacturers in the future. Whether Huawei’s ARM-PC actually materializes in the future remains to be seen, though we’d definitely like to see it.
