Huawei to produce advanced chips in own factory!

Huawei's large AI Infrastructures

Chinese giant Huawei plans to build its own manufacturing facility to design phone chips, according to a report in the Financial Times. A way for the Middle Kingdom firm to cover its behind in the more distant future.

A PLANNED INDUSTRIAL SITE
Its screen supplier Samsung, for example, is one of the lucky ones, as is the ARM brand, which it supplies with the architectures for the Kirin chips. However, a sine qua non was imposed on them: the technologies sent must not support 5G. So on this point, Huawei remains at an impasse, as it has been accused by the United States of using 5G for espionage purposes on behalf of the Chinese government.

Therefore, executives of the company would like to build their own chip production plant, reports The Financial Times , relayed by Android Authority . Here, the idea is simple: if the crossover with the United States is resolved, Huawei would want to cover itself in the future in case of new lawsuits that would prevent it from cooperating with all companies using American technologies, as it did for a year.

A LONG-TERM SOLUTION.
This future industrial facility, based in Shanghai, would then be used to circumvent new industrial and commercial sanctions in the distant future. For Huawei would indeed start from scratch, and would then begin manufacturing 45 nm processors, an engraving seen in 2007. 28 nm chips could then land in late 2021, followed by 20 nm in 2022. In short: the group would see one hell of a delay.

Still according to the Financial Times , chip inventories are now dry. But this factory is nevertheless a long-term solution, and not immediate, because Huawei would need years and years to design its own 5 nm hardware, such as the recently introduced Kirin 9000 , which integrates 5G technology.
