SMIC’s 5nm Process Rumored To Display Impressive Energy Efficiency, Tipster Does Not Share If Any Huawei Kirin SoC Would Be Mass Produced On It...

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 […]

Huawei’s Mate 70 Series May Not Use The First SMIC 5nm Chipset, But A More Refined ‘N+3’ Node With a Higher Density Than Kirin...

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 […]

Huawei’s Kirin 9100 For The Upcoming Mate 70 Series May Not Use SMIC’s 5nm Process, Claims Tipster, Previous Rumors Believed To Be False

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 […]

Huawei Rumored To Witness Progress With 5nm Process, Successful Tape-Out Has Been Achieved, With Small Scale Production Underway
