Since 2026, domestic chip vendors have significantly accelerated their presence in the industrial PC market. Huawei Ascend, Loongson Technology, Zhaoxin, and Hygon Information have successively launched processors and solutions targeting industrial control scenarios. Domestic embedded core boards are entering a historic substitution window, driven by both heightened supply-chain security awareness and continuous breakthroughs in domestic chip performance and ecosystem maturity.
Huawei’s Ascend series, with its powerful AI computing capabilities, has already landed in intelligent quality inspection and industrial vision scenarios. Its Ascend 310/910 chips deliver 16 to 256 TOPS of INT8 compute. Combined with the self-developed CANN architecture, they demonstrate strong competitiveness in edge inference tasks. Loongson Technology relies on its proprietary LoongArch instruction set, launching the 2K/3A series processors for industrial control, emphasizing full-chain autonomy and controllability. Zhaoxin and Hygon, based on the x86 architecture, offer advantages in compatibility and ecosystem migration.
From a market perspective, the main challenges for domestic chips entering the industrial PC field lie in ecosystem maturity and long-term supply assurance. Industrial scenarios demand extremely high stability, requiring chip vendors to provide supply commitments of 10 to 15 years. Additionally, the adaptation of industrial software, drivers, and operating systems is a critical factor determining whether domestic solutions can achieve large-scale commercial deployment. Currently, embedded core boards based on domestic chips have achieved initial breakthroughs in power, rail transit, and financial terminal sectors.
For Junyi Microelectronics, the domestic substitution wave brings new growth points to the embedded core board business. The company has accumulated extensive experience in long-term supply and technical support for Rockchip RK3588/RK3576/RK3568 platforms. Going forward, we will continue to expand our product line of domestic chip core boards, providing customers with one-stop services from hardware design to system adaptation, contributing to the maturation and growth of the domestic industrial control ecosystem.
