pretty detailed hypothesis on the manufacturing of the 9000s chip. I couldn’t understand everything he said so was hoping someone here can clarify the end conclusion of his analysis? I wasn’t due if he thought this chip was one of the stock piles from before tsmc was banned and the CN referred to the end packaging was in china or was it most likely made by SMIC?
CN mean packaging in China. 2035 most likely not referred to date.

He concluded new ICs from SMIC.

Just to understand the earlier news wrt. Huawei and Qualcomm. It was Huawei that stopped buying from Qualcomm, right?

Which would sense since they had the new Kirin chips to replace what Qualcomm used to supply. However it would also show that they expect to produce as much as they need (otherwise why cut off Qualcomm) and it therefore cannot be a 3-year old stock from TSMC in some new packaging.

The state of the art for IC is 7nm chip inside China, today.

As far as I know, no one makes a 5nm AI chip.

That will change soon, but that does not mean the entire world change over from a 7nm AI chip to a 5nm AI chip. No, the hell, way, that will happen.

Didn't China Inc. place a $5 billion dollar order with Nvidia for their A100 which still uses a 7nm chip IIRC?

At 7nm, means China Inc. is in the game, fighting, scratching and clawing.

And the best is yet to come.

:D
