Huawei's Newest Smartphone Sends Signals
Huawei seems to have found a solution to the US' microchip embargo and blockade. If that is true, that would be a huge sign of resilience for the tech giant.
Huawei's newest smartphone suggests China is "inching closer to ... self-sufficiency in the critical area of semiconductors," Bloomberg reports. While the U.S. has restricted the Chinese firm's ability to import cutting-edge technology, an expert analysis of its Mate 60 Pro phone reveals a processor powered by an advanced 7 nanometer chip made by Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp, also based in China. Still, it's unclear what kind of manufacturing capacity Huawei and SMIC have for the more-advanced chips, and whether they "may already be approaching the ceiling of what they can achieve."
