The dust has settled on the Huawei chip incident, and the US media restrictions are no longer feasible
The dust has settled on the Huawei chip incident, and the US media said that the restrictions do not work.
The United States has changed the chip rules many times, restricting the shipments of a large number of chip semiconductor giants such as TSMC and ASML, with the aim of cutting off the first chain of advanced chips.
The result is a reversal of the poles, with chip companies such as TSMC losing serious money, while Huawei is the first in the United Nations industrial chain.
Huawei Mate60Pro has been on the market for more than two months, and it is still in short supply, the reason is that the Kirin 9000S chip has returned, coupled with Huawei's self-developed HarmonyOS system, Huawei Mate60Pro's smoothness is beyond imagination.
The Huawei Mate60Pro also has satellite calling technology, and it is the only smartphone in the world that supports satellite calling.
The Huawei Mate60Pro has achieved sales of more than 1.6 million units in six weeks, and this is still limited by production capacity.
Huawei officially announced that all users who use the pre-subscription form to purchase Huawei Mate60Pro can buy it.
In addition, Huawei also uses Kirin 900S chips on Huawei Mate60RS Extraordinary Master, Huawei MateX5 and other models.
The key is that Huawei has also launched the Hongqiao 900 chip, and the Ascend 910 series chips have also been exhibited, and the self-sufficiency rate of Huawei chips has reached 70%, which means that a large number of Huawei HiSilicon will be launched one after another, and the production capacity is also guaranteed.
In fact, after the United States revised the rules, Bill Gates has said that restricting shipments does not prevent domestic manufacturers from owning high-performance chips;Zhang Zhongmou said that he was not worried that domestic manufacturers would not be able to obtain high-performance chips.
ASML said that restricting shipments will only accelerate the pace of progress of domestic manufacturers, accelerate the withdrawal of giants from the domestic chip market, and so on.
Although a large number of semiconductor chip companies such as TSMC cannot ship, Huawei has made a breakthrough in the domestic industrial chain and realized the localization of advanced Kirin 9000S chips.
After the launch of the Huawei Mate60Pro, the Netherlands changed its mind and approved ASML's shipment request, allowing it to continue to ship lithography models such as the 2000i to China.
TSMC, Samsung, and others have all benefited from the exemption to not only expand domestic factories but also ship advanced equipment to the country for process upgrades.
The key is that the national integrated circuit industry chain has taken a step forward, and the most advanced integrated circuits will be produced domestically.
First of all, the national industrial chain has the ability to build a DUVI lithography machine, which can shorten the chip manufacturing process to 7 nanometers, and on the basis of the original EUV, the country has also made progress in more advanced light source technology.
Therefore, ASML continues to send lithography models such as 2000i to China, which can reduce the chip process to 5nm.
Secondly, SMIC has already mastered multiple first-class processes and mass-produced chips with 14nm, N+1 and other processes.
Liang Mengsong announced very early that the R&D task of 7nm has been completed, and the 8 most difficult items in the 5nm process have begun to be developed, and as soon as the EUV lithography machine arrives, it can be fully put into production.
ASML insists on sending models such as the 2000i and other DUV lithography machines, which are transitional products to EUV lithography machines and can also be used in 5nm processes. The results can be imagined.
SMIC recently announced that among the chips that have been mass-produced, the expansion of wafers that dare to compete with international manufacturers has been basically completed, and it can achieve a monthly output of more than 100 million chips by the end of the year.
Finally, more Huawei HiSilicon chips have begun to be released one after another, in addition to the yet-to-be-released Ascend 910 series, there are also Kirin X series, Kirin 10 series and Kirin 9 series that are benchmarked against Apple's M series.
Of course, Huawei has developed more chips by itself, from mobile phones to PCs, from communications to servers, it can be said that wherever chips such as CPUs are used, Huawei basically has research and development.
Huawei HiSilicon has already become the world's 10th largest semiconductor company, and with the emergence of the Kirin 9000, more chips from Huawei HiSilicon will appear one after another.
This is also the reason why the United States said that the dust had settled on the Huawei chip incident and the restrictions did not work.
