Huawei’s next two HarmonyOS PCs (H2 2025) will likely continue to use the Kirin X90 chip, with no processor change anticipated for the year.

A leak suggests Huawei won’t update its PC chip this year, sticking with the Kirin X90 for new HarmonyOS models.

Even though Huawei’s new computers this year will use the same chip, some people on the internet are guessing that next year (2026), Huawei’s PC chip will get a big upgrade, possibly using a newer, smaller 5nm technology.

When Huawei launched its HarmonyOS MateBook Pro and foldable PCs with the Kirin X90, many expected a 5nm chip. But TechInsights’ detailed look inside revealed it’s still using the 7nm process.

Huawei PCs, powered by the Kirin X90 and enhanced by software, boast amazing features and strong AI capabilities, outperforming older Windows-based MateBooks.

But with the help of software capabilities, the Kirin X90 chip is offering a significant boost to Huawei PCs. These notebooks carry a set of amazing features and AI capabilities over the traditional Windows-based MateBook versions.

The latest information from Huawei indicates that their future PCs will facilitate direct app installation from external sources, in addition to or instead of their proprietary HarmonyOS app gallery.

Huawei’s next generation of PCs will offer a tablet-like mode thanks to their detachable keyboards, aiming to provide a seamless 2-in-1 experience, a concept previously seen in their MateBook E line from 2022.

The biggest change this time will be the HarmonyOS software itself. This means we can expect the new MateBook computers to be much better at handling many tasks at once.
