Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has informed the US Commerce Department about one of its chips being found in a Huawei product by tech research firm TechInsights. The chip, part of a multi-chip system, could be a violation of export restrictions on Huawei. TSMC said it had not supplied chips to Huawei since September 2020 and is not aware of any investigation against it. This incident highlights the challenges of enforcing export controls and Huawei's need for advanced chips. The US Commerce Department stated that it is aware of the alleged violations but cannot comment on any ongoing investigation.

The latest Huawei Mate 70 smartphone has been found to have a chip that offers only incremental improvements compared to its predecessor, contrary to expectations of a more advanced chip. The chip, called Kirin 9020, was manufactured by Chinese chip foundry Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), using a 7nm process rather than the anticipated 5nm process. TechInsights suggests that Huawei may be struggling to make significant breakthroughs in chip manufacturing. However, the Kirin 9020 chip does feature enhancements in performance and efficiency, according to the consultancy's teardown analysis. Sales predictions for the Mate 70 are expected to be weaker than its predecessor.
