According to recent news, Huawei has made a breakthrough in making an advanced chip that has triggered closer US scrutiny.
The US National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, said on Tuesday that the government wanted to know the precise composition of the processor in Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro, which was just a few years behind the current generation and made by US-blacklisted Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.
The Kirin 9000s chip in Huawei's latest phone uses an advanced 7-nanometer processor fabricated in China by the country’s top chipmaker, SMIC, according to a teardown of the phone that TechInsights conducted for Bloomberg
.
Huawei's chip development is significant for the tech industry because it showcases China's progress in building its domestic chip capabilities and highlights China's relentless bid to foster a resilient and independent chip sector, despite anticipated soaring costs.
Huawei's development of its own 5G chip may have implications for the tech industry, the global economy, and geopolitics. Huawei has been laboring under U.S. sanctions since 2019, and the imposition of these restrictions has catalyzed Huawei’s efforts to establish its own chip ecosystem, and the Kirin 9000s chip serves as a pivotal advancement in this regard.
The US government is seeking to establish the full details of Huawei Technologies Co.’s advances in chip technology, news of which has stoked Chinese nationalism and ignited speculation about the effectiveness of Washington’s curbs on the country’s vast technology sector.
