HiSilicon (Chinese: 海思; pinyin: Hǎisī) is a fabless semiconductor company based in Shenzhen, PRC and fully owned by Huawei.

HiSilicon purchased licenses from ARM Holdings for at least ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore, ARM Cortex-M3, ARM Cortex-A7 MPCore, ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore,[1][2] ARM Cortex-A53, and ARM Cortex-A57 and also for the Mali-T628 MP4.[3][4]

HiSilicon also purchased licenses from Vivante Corporation for their GC4000 graphics core,

HiSilicon is reputed to be the largest domestic designer of integrated circuits in China.[5]
