Huawei’s operations face great difficulties following the latest US ban, that cut access to chip supply.

It will initially be able to only manufacture 45nm chipsets that were initially introduced back in 2007.

Earlier this year Richard Yu, CEO of the consumer business group at Huawei, revealed the company can no longer make its own chips, meaning it has to start from square one. The FT report said 28nm chipsets will be manufactured by the end of 2021 - such platforms are useful for IoT devices; by 2022 Huawei will eventually be able to yield 20nm chips that would be useful for the 5G base station business.

Huawei started using 5nm chips on their Mate 40 series before Qualcomm Snapdragon. Think of the space they have covered within the last 5 years. With the government aid and Chinese population "stop dreaming"

Push a man far and push him so far. With China five years plan, in the next five years Qualcomm and TSMC that their major customers are Chinese companies will lose most of them because China is going independent, which they might not have at least ...
