Huawei Executive Says That It Has Been Unable To Secure 3.5nm Chip Shipments From TSMC Due To U.S. Sanctions, Needs To Effectively Utilize 7nm Node
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.
