Microchip development has always been a race to build smaller and smaller transistors โ the fundamental components of chip circuits. Now Chinaโs Huawei Technologies wants to change the game entirely. Faced with US tech export restrictions that block its access to the worldโs most advanced chipmaking machinery, Huawei is proposing a fundamental shift in semiconductor progress: stop obsessing over how small the transistors are and start focusing on how fast data moves through the system. It is a...
Huawei Technologies has unveiled a new scaling law and chip architecture intended to deliver transistor performance equivalent to a 1.4-nanometre process node โ representing the leading edge of semiconductor development โ in a few years without relying on advances in lithography tools. The move represents a significant step by the Chinese tech giant to establish a self-reliant semiconductor ecosystem. The company claims the new Tau (ฯ) Scaling Law, which was presented on Monday by He Tingbo,...
French โ President Emmanuel Macron said on โ Friday that the government will invest an additional โฌ1 billion (US$1.16 billion) in its quantum strategy and โฌ550 million to support the microelectronics sector, as global powers race to be first to leverage โemerging technology. โIโll say it out loud. We have the means to be the winners of this race,โ Macron said while announcing the funding. On Thursday, US President Donald Trumpโs administration unveiled plans to take US$2 billion in equity stakes...
