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 […]

Samsung’s development of the Exynos 2500 has been a roller-coaster of a ride so far. First, a notable analyst reported that due to poor yields of the company’s 3nm GAA process, its upcoming SoC would not ship in time, meaning that Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 would exclusively power the Galaxy S25 series. Now, one tipster mentions that the Korean giant has witnessed some progress with the Exynos 2500, as the prototype version of the cutting-edge silicon can operate at higher frequencies while being more power-efficient than Apple’s A15 Bionic.
