Huawei unveils 1.4nm-equivalent chip target despite US sanctions By Ma Si | chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2026-05-25 14:02 Huawei Technologies Co expects its premium chips to achieve transistor density equivalent to 1.4-nanometer processes by 2031 under a new semiconductor development framework, the company announced on Monday at a conference in Shanghai. He Tingbo, Huawei board member and president of its semiconductor business, formally introduced the "Tau Scaling Law" in a keynote speech titled "New Semiconductor Path in Practice." Unlike traditional approaches that rely on miniaturizing transistors — an industry paradigm increasingly challenged by physical limits and diminishing cost benefits — the new methodology prioritizes reducing signal propagation time across devices, circuits, chips and systems, He said. Huawei has already designed and mass-produced 381 chips based on the Tau Scaling Law over the past six years, covering industries from smartphones to AI computing, He said. This autumn, the company will launch a new Kirin smartphone chip that adopts a multi‑layer circuit architecture that shortens critical‑path wiring and improves transistor den…

The Chinese tech giant captured global attention on Monday by introducing the new Tau (τ) Scaling Law, which it said lay the groundwork for Huawei to achieve transistor density equivalent to a 1.4-nanometre process in high-end chips by 2031. If proven,...

Is Huawei’s new chip scaling law a true breakthrough, or mere hype? Microchip development has always been a race to build smaller and smaller transistors – the fundamental components of chip circuits. Now China’s Huawei Technologies wants to change the game entirely. Faced with US tech export restrictions that block its access to the world’s 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...

China’s chip software firms back Huawei’s new scaling law. But can they catch US rivals? China’s chip design software industry is rallying behind Huawei Technologies’ ambitious new architecture aimed at producing chips that can rival leading global products, but analysts warn a steep uphill climb remains before local players can break the market stranglehold of US rivals. Empyrean Technology, a major Chinese electronic design automation (EDA) provider, became the latest supporter of the new chipmaking methodology. The company recently unveiled Argus, a new physical verification...

Huawei Chip Breakthrough 2026: Tau Law Rivals 1.4nm by 2031 He Tingbo — president of Huawei's semiconductor business, known in the Chinese tech industry as the "chip queen" — delivered the keynote at IEEE ISCAS in Shanghai announcing the Tau Scaling Law and LogicFolding architecture on May 25, 2026. SHARE The Huawei chip breakthrough 2026 is the most significant semiconductor announcement from China since the Mate 60’s 5G chip surprised the world in 2023. At the 2026 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems in Shanghai on May 25, He Tingbo — president of Huawei’s semiconductor business — delivered a keynote titled “New Semiconductor Path in Practice,” unveiling what the company calls the Tau Scaling Law, a proposed replacement for Moore’s Law that uses 3D chip stacking rather than transistor miniaturization. The breakthrough, which Huawei says will deliver transistor density equivalent to 1.4-nanometer processes by 2031, has generated 40 million views on Chinese social media under the hashtag “Huawei Semiconductor Field New Breakthrough” — and a remarkable concession from Nvidia’s CEO delivered just days earlier.

While Chinese chipmakers have found success in supporting AI inference – the relatively simple process of running an already-finished model to answer user...

Huawei's Chip Plans: Ambitious or Unrealistic? The Chinese company was blacklisted from receiving advanced semiconductor technology in 2019 over national-security concerns. Jamie Wilde Guest Contributor to The Daily Upside Even semiconductor chips seem to be on GLP-1s now, with HuaweiannouncingMonday that it’ll launch an ultra-thin 1.4-nanometer chip by 2031 using new “LogicFolding” tech. Huawei plans to first use LogicFolding — a process offolding and stackingcircuits to shorten chips’ wiring — to make its Kirin smartphone chips this fall. In the semiconductor world, thinner means more powerful. Currently, China’s most advanced chipmaking abilities are believed to yield 7-nanometer chips. Taiwan’s TSMC, the leader in chip manufacturing, makes 2-nanometer chips with a plan for 1.4-nanometer chips in 2028. Huawei’s He Tingbo, who’s known in tech circles as the “chip queen,” is leading Huawei’s semiconductor biz through a stage it describes as “extreme survival mode.” The Chinese company was blacklisted from receiving advanced semiconductor technology in 2019 due to national security concerns. That left an Nvidia-sized hole for Huawei to fill, but it also left Huawei without mu…

Huawei targets 1.4 nm-class chips with new computing architecture Huawei says it plans to achieve transistor density equivalent to 1.4-nanometer chip processes within the next five years, outlining a new approach to semiconductor development that aims to overcome the limitations imposed by US export controls. The Chinese technology giant announced the strategy during a semiconductor symposium in Shanghai on Monday. As per a report, the company said future high-end chips will rely on a framework it calls the Tau Scaling Law, which focuses on improving how quickly data and signals move through chips and computing systems rather than depending solely on shrinking transistors. The announcement comes as China pushes to reduce its reliance on foreign semiconductor technologies. US sanctions have restricted Chinese firms’ access to advanced chipmaking equipment, particularly extreme ultraviolet lithography tools used to manufacture the world’s most advanced chips. Huawei did not provide independent performance data to support its claims. However, the company said the approach could enable chips with transistor density comparable to 1.4 nm processes by 2031, a level expected to be near…
