Huawei's 5nm Kirin X90 Processor Enters Mass Production! Guo Zhengliang: 82% Yield Sets New Record, Signifying US Ban's Ineffectiveness

After Xiaomi officially launched its self-developed 3nm smartphone processor, China's CCTV announced the mass production of Huawei's 5nm Kirin X90 processor. Former legislator Guo Zhengliang stated that this signifies Huawei's successful breakthrough of the US chip ban, as China is now able to complete the self-design and manufacturing of 5nm chips.
Guo Zhengliang stated on the CTi News program that Huawei's 5nm yield has reached 82%, setting a record. He emphasized that Huawei manages all processes from chip design, wafer framework to software independently, signifying that the US has no further means of intervention.
He further pointed out that while Xiaomi's design of a 3nm chip is impressive, it pales in comparison to Huawei's achievement because Xiaomi's focus is mainly on consumer electronics and less on military aspects. In fact, the US also aims to profit from the Chinese market; therefore, in consumer electronics, the US is more lenient. For instance, OPPO uses Qualcomm chips, and Xiaomi previously did as well. There are rumors that their chips may now be arranged for production by TSMC, although this has not been confirmed yet.
Guo believes that while the US allows for consumer market participation, it will surely intervene once artificial intelligence and sensitive areas involving military and 5G are involved.
