Just after seeing Amazon drop its first cash deals on the new M4 Mac mini even lower, it has now done the same for Apple’s brand new M4 iMac as well. While not all colors of each configuration are now marked down, there are loads of options waiting on ...
The PlayStation 5 Pro brings considerable visual and performance improvements in several titles, including Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4 remake, Demon's Souls, and others. In the tests conducted by Brazil Pixel, the latest two entries in the CAPCOM survival horror series powered by the RE Engine show considerable performance improvements. Resident Evil Village, for example, runs at locked 120 frames per second in HFR without ray tracing at 1080p resolution, which is quite impressive to see on a console in a relatively recent game. The Resident Evil 4 remake, on the other hand, doesn't reach the same locked 120 […]

NIO, a Chinese automobile manufacturer, has showcased the world's first 5nm autonomous driving chip, claiming it has been successfully taped out and is ready to disrupt smart automotive markets. NIO's "NX9031" Automotive Chip Targets Smart Automotive Market With Huge AI Capabilities NIO is a renowned automobile firm, particularly in China. The firm is known for its role in reshaping the domestic EV markets by offering luxury and performance simultaneously. However, the company has recently stepped into the chip business, well to some extent, by coming up with an in-house solution that isn't only one of a kind but also offers […]
China’s biggest semiconductor manufacturer, SMIC, might have achieved a massive breakthrough by successfully developing the 5nm technology using its existing DUV equipment, but there are a ton of hurdles to cross before the foundry makes meaningful strides with its new manufacturing process. Fortunately, one tipster reveals some positive development, and the 5nm node has shown improved power efficiency. Unfortunately, there is no update on if this technology will be implemented this year when Huawei announces its next Kirin chipset. New Kirin chipset to be announced with Huawei’s Mate 70 series, but it is unlikely to be mass produced on SMIC’s […]
The Kirin 9000S that allowed Huawei to break free of the U.S. trade ban was mass produced on SMIC’s 7nm (N+2) technology, with the company maintaining its momentum with the Kirin 9010 that is found in the Pura 70 series. For the Mate 70 range, rumors have disseminated in multiple directions, with whispers claiming that the former Chinese giant would use SMIC’s 5nm process that the semiconductor manufacturer reportedly developed successfully. However, there appears to be a twist in Huawei’s plans, with one rumor stating that the next Kirin SoC powering the Mate 70 series would be mass manufactured on […]
SMIC, China’s largest semiconductor manufacturer, was previously reported to have successfully developed its 5nm process without using advanced EUV machinery. Looking at what was accomplished, especially with the U.S. trade ban in place, the announcement was nothing short of a breakthrough and one that would allow Huawei to add next-generation Kirin chipsets to its upcoming smartphone range, the Mate 70. Unfortunately, one tipster has refuted these claims, stating that the Kirin 9100, which is said to be the name of Huawei’s next SoC, will not be fabricated on the 5nm node. Going by this rumor, the Kirin 9100 for Huawei’s […]
SMIC, Huawei’s foundry partner, was recently reported to have successfully developed the 5nm process and that too, without the help of EUV machinery. The first recipient of this lithography will likely be a future Kirin chipset that will fuel Huawei’s upcoming Mate 70 series. Now, according to one rumor, the Chinese firm has witnessed a new milestone in its 5nm progression, with one individual claiming that there has been a successful tape-out and small-scale production may have started. Without the use of EUV machinery, Huawei’s 5nm chipset yields could be low and will be expensive to mass produce Despite the […]
The trade sanctions placed on Huawei means that it has to rely on its local foundry partner SMIC, to push forth with advanced manufacturing processes for future Kirin releases, and fortunately, China’s largest semiconductor firm has successfully developed the 5nm process. This node is expected to be used in the Kirin 9100 that will be found in the Mate 70 series. However, while jumping to an improved manufacturing process is one of Huawei’s goals, a company executive states that they also want to address several 7nm issues. The primary aim for Huawei, according to the executive, is to focus on the […]
China’s largest semiconductor manufacturing firm, SMIC, has reportedly achieved a new milestone and too, without the use of advanced EUV machinery that gives companies like Samsung and TSMC an edge in the cutting-edge chipmaking space. The latest information claims that using DUV equipment, the 5nm process has been completed, and SMIC is ready to mass produce the first batch of wafers. Huawei was previously said to be working closely with its local foundry partner to introduce a new Kirin SoC that will be found in the upcoming Mate 70 series for October later this year. No word on yields, but […]
Huawei will eventually transition to the more advanced 5nm chipsets as it aims to rid itself of foreign elements and hopes to achieve that goal with the help of SMIC. According to the latest report, China’s biggest semiconductor manufacturer is planning to build production lines in an effort to mass fabricate next-generation chipsets that will carry the Kirin branding. SMIC to use existing DUV equipment that was sourced from U.S. and Dutch-based firms After the success of the Kirin 9000S, which was mass produced on SMIC’s 7nm process and powered the Mate 60 series, Huawei needs to keep the momentum […]
Huawei recently unveiled its Qingyun L540 lineup of notebooks with one hardware specification that would make the U.S. downright nervous; a 5nm chipset called the Kirin 9006C. The existence of this SoC meant that China and its foundries had obtained autonomy to mass produce cutting-edge silicon that would no longer force it to remain tethered to foreign companies. Unfortunately, a recent teardown revealed that SMIC, China’s largest semiconductor firm, is yet to jump into the 5nm space because the Kirin 9006C was actually found to be made by TSMC. Latest revelation shows SMIC is not yet ready to pursue 5nm chip […]

Huawei is expected to launch its new P70 flagship smartphone series in 2024, featuring three new models with a bevy of hardware specification upgrades. In an earlier report, it was predicted that the P70 Art, which may be regarded as the top-end version, will ship with an impressive camera configuration that includes a hybrid 1G6P lens and more. Irrespective of this information, no updates were provided as to which chipset Huawei would use in all three models. After all, to stay competitive, the company needs to release something more capable than the Kirin 9000S, and the latest Kirin 9006C might be […]
SMIC may not be limited to the 7nm process soon, as a new report states that the Chinese semiconductor is pushing forward with its 5nm technology. However, instead of manufacturers such as TSMC that use advanced EUV machinery, SMIC is being forced to mass produce those ‘cutting-edge’ wafers on its existing DUV equipment, which will likely become a costly venture for the company. SMIC to likely receive billions in subsidies from the government, allowing it to successfully push forward with its 5nm process; no word on the estimated yield With Huawei expected to launch the P70, P70 Pro, and P70 […]
