Huawei stuck on 7nm chips as tech rivals sprint ahead
Huawei faces major problems making advanced computer chips because they cannot buy the newest machines. The Chinese company must use older equipment that makes creating tiny 5nm chips very hard. Taiwan blocked Huawei and their chip partner SMIC from getting modern tools without special permits. Their latest Kirin X90 processor still uses 7nm technology instead of the smaller 5nm size. Reports suggested the chip used newer methods but experts confirmed it runs on older 7nm processes. The technology gap keeps growing between Huawei and global rivals like Apple and Qualcomm. Companies such as TSMC and Samsung will start making 2nm chips within two years. This means China will fall behind the rest of the world at least three full...
