A fresh report saying that Huawei is working on producing its own chipsets comes one month after a previous rumor was disseminated.
. This was big news because the company has been banned by the U.S. Commerce Department from obtaining cutting-edge chips manufactured by foundries using American technology. For last year's highly-regarded Mate 50 Pro flagship model, Huawei used Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset with no support for 5G connectivity.declining more requests for export licenses for U.S.
. That means that once its supply of Snapdragon chips runs dry, Huawei won't be able to use even 4G versions of Snapdragon silicon. And the problem in China is that the country's largest foundry, SMIC, is limited to producing chips using the 12nm-14nm process node compared to the 3nm chips being made now by TSMC and Samsung.A lower process node number indicates the use of smaller transistors allowing more to fit inside a chip.
You might wonder why China's top foundry can't produce chips using a lower process node. That's because the one machine needed to create silicon using a node of 10nm and lower cannot be shipped to China. The machine is the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine which is used to etch extremely thin circuitry patterns on silicon wafers.

After scuffling with injuries, the Bucks are once again resembling big-game huntersThere was a moment when it seemed like the wheels in Milwaukee were starting to wobble. The Bucks raced out to a 19-6 start to the season behind the now-customary MVP-caliber play of Giannis Antetokounmpo, the persistent two-way excellence of Jrue Holiday, and a killer start by Brook Lopez that made the 15-year vet something of an All-Star cause célèbre. Come mid-December, though, the Bucks dipped down into the doldrums, playing sub-.500 ball for about six weeks to fall 5.5 games behind the East-leading Celtics — as close to the play-in bracket as they were to the top spot in the conference.
