For most parts, every time the US has tried to block By making Huawei a competitive smartphone, the Chinese manufacturer, like a dinosaur in Jurassic Park, has found a way. First, the United States added the company to the Commerce Department’s list of entity, which was to stop working with Huawei Google. The Google Mobile Services version of Huawei Android can no longer be installed. It forced Huawei to develop its harmony operating system.
An area where Huawei has advanced but still behind is in the design and manufacture of chips used to give your phone strength. In 2020, the United States extended its foreign direct product roll (FDPR) and with review, this principle prevents Huawei from obtaining any modern chip created using US technology. These chips are defined as those who support 5G contact using less than 10NM process node. Nevertheless, Huawei is capable of getting 5G capable chips from SMIC, which is made using the 7NM node of the latter, the largest foundry (and the third largest) of the world.
In China, SMIC and other companies are banned from purchasing lithography equipment, which will allow it and other Chinese foundr to prepare chips using a 5NM or less process node. This year, both TSMC and the Samsung Foundry have planned to prepare semiconductors using a 2NM process node. But that does not mean that Huawei is not intending to raise his hand on advanced chips. The speculation has been made Huawei is developing an alternative to extremely ultra -violet lithography (EUV) machines that allow it to make modern chips.
Satellite images show that Huawei is making a production line to develop modern chips In Shenzhen District. The purpose is to help China make the semiconductors self -sufficient. The pictures show the construction of three similar -visible manufacturing facilities that have been allegedly launched in 2022. Huawei has been very calm about these buildings. Not only can they put production lines for smartphone application processors built using advanced nodes, but also can also keep production lines that will help the company put competitive pressure on US chipmaker NVIDIA. Both companies are involved in designing AI ACCALSE.
Huawei wants to prepare each tool needed to create a supply chain in China for AI chips. “Huawei has made an unprecedented effort to prepare every part of the AI supply chain from domestic weavfer fabric equipment,” said Dylan Patel, the founder of the Chip Research and Inelrse Firm Seminalesses. We have never tried to do everything to a company. “
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said Thursday during a meeting between NVIDIA executives and the US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee
China is very close to the chip race. The Trump administration asked Nvidia to stop selling its latest AI chip, H20 in China. This application Ironically, it has enabled Huawei to fill a large number of its latest climbing chip in the country from the Chinese market to fill the gap that is avoided by the departure of NVIDIA.
