What a week, huh? Yeah. Well, here we are, at the end of it, at the very least, and now looking toward the future. So how about some video games to take our minds off things for the weekend? This week we’ve got some fun shooters, some beat ‘em up actio...
Through its official Amazon storefront, Govee is offering its 7-pack of Glide Y RGBIC Lights for $129.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $100 off coupon. Normally going for $230, we’ve seen far less of a frequency of discounts over this year in com...
Jesse Keighin liked to stream Nintendo Switch games online before they were officially released and then gloat about it right in Nintendo’s face, according to a new lawsuit filed by the Mario maker in Colorado District Court earlier this week. “[I] ca...
The Kirin 9000S ushered a new gateway that enabled Huawei to break free of the companies under the influence of the U.S., but the chipset powering the Mate 60 series relied on slower TaiShan cores that would perform poorly in single-core and multi-core workloads. Fortunately, the company is rumored to have made incredible progress, not just with its joint alliance with foundry partner SMIC to start 5nm wafer production but also in making power-efficient TaiShan cores that are significantly more capable than Cortex-A510. Here are more details on the matter. New, unnamed TaiShan cores can achieve a score of 350 […]
For years, Apple has spearheaded the tablet market, and with the launch of its 11-inch and 13-inch M4 iPad Pro models, the company is expected to extend that lead. However, as Huawei is putting pressure on iPhone shipments in China, it is exerting the same threat on Apple’s OLED tablet range. According to the latest data, the Chinese technology firm attained a 25 percent global market share. Overall OLED tablet shipments for Q1 2024 reached an impressive 131 percent year-over-year growth, with Apple leading the pack with its M4 iPad Pro models Even though Huawei has secured second place, Display […]
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 […]
Apart from introducing its Mate 70 flagship smartphone series later in the year, Huawei is said to launch HarmonyOS NEXT, its actual in-house operating system, which will give the former Chinese giant the freedom to rid itself of Google’s Android and the looming threat of the U.S. However, to sever any linkage with foreign entities, Huawei is said to remove all source code from HarmonyOS NEXT, including Linux and Android. HarmonyOS NEXT is also said to be more efficient than Android; its performance could be better on Kirin chipsets, which are slower than the competition The announcement of HarmonyOS NEXT […]
The tri-fold form factor is unusual for smartphones, but it can deliver immense utility if the software is optimized and the hardware can keep pace with it. Huawei has been rumored to be working on such a device, but it has likely run into development issues stemming from the advanced form factor, with problems such as software and possibly a lack of an effective cooling solution causing a delay. Unnamed Huawei tri-fold smartphone to use one of the company’s Kirin 9000 series of chipsets; lack of improved power efficiency likely resulting in heat management problems Google has released various updates […]
The greater the economic sense that a particular trade transaction constitutes, the greater is the will to exploit that transaction's intrinsic benefits by circumventing trade barriers. Look no further than the curious case of Huawei's selling of beef products on its online store. As most of our readers would know by now, Huawei is currently under stiff Western sanctions that have severely dented its overseas 5G telecommunication equipment retail business and eliminated the company's ability to procure high-end chips from the likes of TSMC. Despite this inhospitable business environment, Huawei has apparently found a novel solution: using beef as the […]
Complementing Emergency SOS via satellite, Apple officially announced ‘Messages via satellite’ yesterday during its WWDC 2024 keynote, with its singular focus allowing users to take advantage of the iMessage app to communicate with others by sending or receiving texts, emojis and more, even when there is no internet connection. The feature is expected to arrive for the iPhone 14 series when iOS 18 drops later this year. However, it should be noted that before Apple, Huawei had gone ahead and announced this feature when it introduced its flagship Mate 50 series. Huawei has gone the extra mile compared to Apple, […]
The Kirin 9000S is considered by the industry to be a semiconductor miracle, as Huawei had to deal with overwhelming odds, thanks to the U.S. sanctions, just to mass produce a chipset last year. Now that the former Chinese giant has successfully displayed its chip-making prowess, the next step is to switch to advanced manufacturing processes to ensure that it maintains some pace with the competition. Unfortunately, in its reported quest to acquire TSMC’s 3.5nm chip shipments, a Huawei executive has expressed disappointment that the attempt has been unsuccessful due to the same trade ban. With the 7nm technology available, […]
For two years, Huawei had been funding U.S. research and awarded scientists millions in prize money. All of the funneling was handled by Optica Foundation, with its CEO Elizabeth Rogan, who previously stated that there was nothing unusual about this practice. U.S. lawmakers later criticized the organization, believing Optica Foundation had compromised the ability of U.S. research institutions to comply with the law. A ton of events likely happened under our rose because the partnership between the two companies has now ended. Optica Foundation wrote to the board of directors that Huawei will have no connection to its funding program […]
TSMC, the world's leading semiconductor firm, believes that Huawei "China" & other "emerging" competitors are no trouble for the company. TSMC Says That Their "Dominance" Is Unchallenged, And Competitors, Including China, Have No Chance Well, there is no doubt that TSMC has been in the lead regarding process technology and the development of cutting-edge semiconductors. Mainstream competitors such as Intel Foundry and Samsung have tried to close the gap, but despite tremendous efforts, the Taiwan giant has managed to maintain its dominance, courtesy of its vast experience along with excellent relationships with established clients like Apple and NVIDIA. Similarly, in […]
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 […]
A former employee of SK hynix is reportedly being tried in a domestic court for stealing semiconductor technology data printed on 3,000 pages before moving to Huawei. The first trial is expected to be held at the Yeoju branch of the Suwon District Court. SK hynix has access to advanced DRAM and flash memory technologies, and is currently working on HBM3e memory for NVIDIA AI GPUs, GDDR7 VRAM for upcoming consumer GPUs, and has partnered with TSMC to push forth HBM4 technology. All of this data would be essential for Huawei as it would give it an edge in various categories. Huawei […]
