Huwaeri announces their newest phone with 100% Chinese components to time with US secretary's visit
So it may be just a bluff.
Big if true.

Which Chinese fab can make 7nm chips? I thought the best they have is 14nm.

Looks like the performance is similar to SD888 - which is not bad, but far behind the current SD8 gen 2.

Think it's SMIC (not with EUV though)
wait isn't 7nm pretty good, the hacker news story about a new thing by intel used 7nm too https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37315802 probably you could do some stuff with enough 7nm chips

> a lot of tech breakthrus needed to overcome lack of access to EUVs, TSMC foundries & American RF supply chain

and not even use EUV at all? that is a pretty small number of nanometers

Keep in mind that Intel is years behind. TSMC N7 came out in 2018 so SMIC is ~5 years behind. Samsung 7LPP uses EUV but TSMC N7 and Intel 7 don't so it's not required. Without EUV, SMIC will probably be stuck at 7 nm for many years while other fabs reach 2 nm.
maybe they will go straight into quantum computing and not bother with archaic liquid tin laser printers
I think SMIC / Huawei will have mass production EUV within two or three years.
Where do you think they're getting the tooling?
If Huawei can make enough of these I bet it will seriously cut into the sales of the upcoming iPhone 15 in China.
Mate60 has already been sold in China, but it is said that it is not sold to countries other than China. I wonder if there is any blogger who got this machine and filmed an explanatory video?
What does it actually mean when the 5G chip comes from a 7nm fab instead of a 5nm or 3nm? Does the battery have to weigh 1g more to supply the chip with the extra power and the phone have to be 1mm³ bigger to accommodate the bigger chip and battery, or will the numbers have be bigger?

I opened an old phone when I replaced it a few years ago, and described each part to my children. The chips didn't account for much of the volume.

I realise that a 3nm chip uses less power for the same processing than a 7nm chip does. Phones are mostly idle, though. Can receive/transmit 100Mbps or whatever, do receive/transmit very, very much less. I'd be thankful if someone who really knows about phone geometry/power could explain.
