Earlier this month, TechInsights did a teardown of the Kirin 9030 chip found in Huawei’s Mate 80 Pro Max [1]. Two clear statements were made on the findings: (1) the transistor density of SMIC’s “N+3” process was definitely below that of the earlier 5nm processes from Samsung and TSMC, and (2) metal pitch was aggressively scaled

TechInsights has been in the semiconductor analysis business for more than 35 years and is THE most trusted source of semiconductor information. TechInsights started as a reverse engineering and IP analysis company but has grown into much more. I remember waiting for the teardown reports before buying electronics to make sure… Read More
TechInsights has a new memory report that is worth a look. It is free if you are a registered member which I am. HBM is of great interest and there is a section on emerging and embedded memories for chip designers. Even though I am more of a logic person, memory is an important part of the semiconductor industry. In fact, logic and memory
