From where? It’s a four-fold challenging template creation process that requires a lot of time and resources. Burn Lin revealed Huawei’s ambitious plan to create the P70 series, which should be released in 2024 and may feature a 5nm Kirin SoC. But here’s the trick: Problems with precise alignment and possible inconsistencies can lead to reduced yield and sharply increased production time.
Huawei’s parent foundry SMIC could demand a “king’s ransom” for these 5nm wafers, further reducing the already limited supply of Kirin SoCs. Therefore, raising the prices of the final product is one of the company’s possible solutions.
