Japan has publicly announced the discovery of the Kirin 9000s chip secret, and it is still questionable whether the process has stalled.
Since the Huawei Mate60 series quietly entered the market, Kirin chips have made a comeback in both domestic and Western markets, starting with this flagship phone equipped with the Kirin 9000S.
Finally, Japan, which represents the level of Chinese chip technology, has now publicly announced that it has discovered the secret of the Kirin 9000S chip - is it 7nm or 14nm process?
As we all know, under the rule of American capitalism, Huawei lost the foundry services of TSMC and Samsung, and after using two or three years of stock chips, it had no choice but to use Qualcomm Snapdragon chips in the Huawei Mate40 and Mate50 series.
In addition to the Kirin 710, which focuses on the low-end market, the Kirin chip has completely disappeared from the market, becoming a pain point for pollen and the public, and Huawei has also collapsed, and the market shipments have quickly fallen out of the top five.
In order to reduce costs and win more users, they invested in scientific research, and even did not hesitate to use the first sub-brand, just to find a breakthrough to resist the technological blockade of the United States.
In the three years of intensive R&D, Huawei has completed countless R&D stages step by step, and its R&D investment has gradually risen to the highest point, reaching a minimum of 1 trillion yuan in 10 years.
After the official release of the mate60 series, Meng Wanzhou led the Huawei brand to be officially opened"The way out", which worries Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Huawei Mate60Pro took the lead in opening up sales channels and was an instant hit, with a partial localization rate of up to 90%, which proves the importance of independent research and development for the country and Chinese enterprises.
However, in the Huawei Mate60 product sales interface and Huawei's new product launch conference, the Kirin 9000S chip was not introduced in detail.
This has caused great panic in Western capitalism, which has imposed restrictions on China, fearing that the carefully established embargo system will eventually collapse, especially the United States and Japan.
U.S. Secretary of Commerce Raimondo even visited China for this purpose, claiming that China has absolutely no ability to produce advanced processors through its own capabilities, and the Kirin 9000s chip must be a chip technology stolen from the United States!
However, the U.S. agency disassembled the Huawei Mate60Pro for detailed testing, but failed, and finally came to the conclusion that the Kirin 9000S chip has reached the 7nm process level, which belongs to the mainland manufacturer, and the process is unknown.
Biden's team was naturally annoyed, but there was nothing to be done, because there was no imported lithography machine on the production line of the Kirin 9000s chip, and even if there were monitoring records, it could not be detected.
Interestingly, as American capitalism is the most faithful"Little brother"Fumio Kishida's team did not give up the search for the Kirin 9000s chip after the United States confirmed that China has 7nm technology.
After digging deeper in the Japanese side, they finally got their wish, and the report shows this: the Kirin 9000S still uses the 14nm process, but the structure is much more professional than the chips on the market, and the 14nm process is comparable to the 7nm chip.
Regardless of whether the Kirin 9000S actually uses the 14nm process, the test results published by the United States and Japan are clearly contradictory, and one side of the argument can only admit this.
From the perspective of the development of the semiconductor industry of the two countries, although the pace of chip innovation in the United States in recent years has been somewhat slow, it is obviously still better than Japan's semiconductor industry chain.
If the news from Japan is true, the only possibility is that Biden wants to exaggerate the speed of China's development, use the topic to play, and tighten restrictions.
But the bottom line is that according to the test data, the Kirin 9000s already has the strength to surpass the 4nm Snapdragon 8+ chip, whether it belongs to 14nm or 7nm, this is a major breakthrough for domestic chips.
Of course, as Ren Zhengfei pointed out a long time ago, even if it is 7 nanometers, there is still a gap between Chinese chips and the world's leading chips, and the Chinese R&D team still needs to work semiconductor research and development!What are your thoughts on this?Feel free to let us know in the comments!
