Huawei has launched two new desktop systems in China, the Qingyun W515y and W585y, powered by the homemade Kirin 9000X processor and running on Tongxin UOS V20 or Galaxy Kylin V10 operating systems. The Kirin 9000X chip, developed by HiSilicon, features an octa-core, 16-thread design with a 2.5 GHz base clock. These new models replace the Qingyun W515x and W585x, featuring quad-channel LPDDR5x memory and options for SSD, hard drive, and optical drive installations. Despite Huawei's push for HarmonyOS, these PCs offer a choice between UOS V20 and Galaxy Kylin V10. The desktop designs remain similar to their predecessors, with various ports and accessories included, but pricing and availability details have not been disclosed yet.
