    Intel is industry’s first mover on High NA EUV lithography system.

    Keeping things off the cloud would require lots of DRAM at the client side.

    Intel is industry’s first mover on High NA EUV lithography system.

    Investment is not collaboration; the statement implied 30 years of continued hands-on collaboration with Intel on the project.

    Kirin 9000s Analysis: Should be Made by SMIC's N+2 Process

    Is the 1.8 million referring to P60 or Mate 60? The P60 is using the Snapdragon 8+ indeed, but that is not domestic. One analyst predicted Huawei to sell only 60 million (across all models) this year: https://www.reuters.com/technology/chinas-huawei-start-selling-pura-70-smartphones-2024-04-18/...

    Kirin 9000s Analysis: Should be Made by SMIC's N+2 Process

    It looks like the Pura 70 forecast of 10.4 million domestically generated would be too optimistic compared to the P60 only 1.8 million generated from TSMC? Aside, Huawei Mate 60 allegedly crossed 30 million, is that disputed?

    Kirin 9000s Analysis: Should be Made by SMIC's N+2 Process

    The P60 is using the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 which uses a 4nm process from TSMC. Presumably the chip supply would not be the limiter of sales.

    Huawei Pura 70 smartphone sales start; chip still a mystery

    HONG KONG/SHENZHEN/SHANGHAI, April 18 (Reuters) - Chinese technology giant Huawei started selling two models of its highly anticipated, high-end Pura 70 smartphone series on Thursday that many analysts expect to contain an advanced China-made chip like its Mate 60 handset. The Pura series...

    Intel is industry’s first mover on High NA EUV lithography system.

    High-NA customers need some strategy for the mask as well. Multilayer, absorber, and Intel now wants to change mask size as well (they didn't plan it with ASML earlier)?

    Wait until they consider NVIDIA's (or their own) large dies.

    Intel is industry’s first mover on High NA EUV lithography system.

    30 years, that's obviously wrong. Nikon was still the preferred litho vendor for Intel back then.

    Intel is industry’s first mover on High NA EUV lithography system.

    "High NA EUV is the next-generation lithography system developed by ASML following decades of collaboration with Intel." A misleading statement from Intel, as if they co-owned it for decades.

    Any reason given for the drop in 3nm? Is it just "smartphone seasonality"?

    5 things you should know about High NA EUV lithography

    HS: understood. Checking the most recent CAR (probably more mainstream) literature, more or less the same trend toward reported sizing dose being higher, quite often significantly, than 30 mJ/cm2...

    5 things you should know about High NA EUV lithography

    They had doses as high as over 80 mJ/cm2 here https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/12957/129570V/Patterning-optimization-for-single-mask-bit-line-periphery-and-storage/10.1117/12.3010934.full#_=_ when MOR was used.

    5 things you should know about High NA EUV lithography

    ASML did report on NXE:3800E getting >500W (but <505W): https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/12953/129530V/High-power-EUV-light-sources-500w-for-high-throughput-in/10.1117/12.3010463.full#_=_ But TSMC earlier talked about pellicles not surviving long enough at 400W...
