Bloomberg: Huawei plans to build a plant in China to produce its own chips without US technology

According to the American publication Bloomberg, citing the Financial Times, Huawei is going to build a plant for

producing our own microchips without using US technology.

What is known

The report states that the plant will appear in Shanghai.Since Huawei has no experience in creating SoCs, it will be managed by the research company Shanghai IC R&D Center, which is funded by the city government.

Naturally, we can’t wait for the release of top solutions right awaycosts. Huawei will start from scratch. The first chips will be built using a 45-nanometer process technology. Next, Huawei plans to establish production of 28-nanometer SoCs for Internet of Things devices. According to sources, this will take place no earlier than the end of 2021. By the end of 2022, Huawei is set to release 20nm chips for 5G telecom equipment. There is no information about the release dates of mobile processors yet. They clearly shouldn’t be expected in the next 5 years.

Recall that due to US sanctions, Huawei had to abandon proprietary Kirin processors, which were manufactured by TSMC.
