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

Wccftech.com - 0
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.

China's largest chip manufacturer, the Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) surged to the third place in the global ranking of contract chip manufacturers according to data from research firm TrendForce. At the top of the list is TSMC, which commanded more than half of the market and accounted for 61.7% of the sector's revenue during this year's first quarter. SMIC has been under strict US sanctions to prevent the Chinese military from acquiring advanced chips, and according to TrendForce, growth in local orders enabled it to overtake GlobalFoundries and the Taiwanese chip maker United Microelectronics Corporation, or UMC.

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.
