O tempora o mores, Huawei may be selling its Kirin processors to other companies

Snapdragon may be the most popular mobile CPU out there, but Kirin also has many fans. Soon it may have more than before; Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei, has stated that his company is mulling over the possibility of selling Kirin processors to other firms.
