Huawei's latest mobile is armed with China's most advanced process node to date despite using blacklisted chipmaker β€” Huawei Kirin 9030 mobile SoC made on SMIC N+3 process, but can't compete with 5nm node

TechInsights says Huawei's Kirin 9030 is built on SMIC’s N+3 process: an incremental, DUV-based extension of its 7nm-class technology that pushes density without EUV but falls well short of true 5nm nodes amid rising yield challenges.

Photonic latch memory could enable optical processor caches that run up to 60 GHz, twenty times faster than standard caches β€” optical SRAM stores and outputs data entirely as light, but density challenges remain

Researchers from the University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute and the University of Wisconsin-Madison have demonstrated what they describe as the first regenerative photonic memory latch.
