Huawei and SMIC quietly rolled out a new Kirin 9000C processor.
Chinese foundry SMIC may have broken the 5nm process barrier, as evidenced by a new Huawei laptop listed with an advanced chip with 5nm manufacturing tech — a feat previously thought impossible due to U.S sanctions.
Looks like they call it “6 nm” which is unusual. Yeah something is improved in the chip, but the marketing isn’t any kind of objective measure of that. Although I imagine most of the improved battery life comes from the bigger battery and more efficient OLED screen.
