WTF!? OK they had the 7nm process for more than a year now, but 6nm without EUV?
I’m not an expert, but it seems to me that when China cracks EUV, which they allegedly are getting close to, then SMIC will progress fast to even better processes.
China is making very good progress, especially considering they cannot use any western equipment. Everything has to be home grown!

Big…if true. This article is long on claims but utterly bereft of proof.

As usual with very much wow inventions from China.
Not to say that they don’t have clever people there doing cool stuff. It’s just my experience that such articles are often overselling something which does not live up to the claim

Even if the hardware does…drivers matter. I’m reminded of the Moore Threads MTT S80.

Huawei has sold a lot of phones last year based on “surprising advances” from SMIC. They have shipping AI chips that are benchmarked based on announcements that drew skepticism at the time. Not sure about this company’s product or how close it is to shipping.
