Going back to the SSA-800, Robert Castellano at Seeking Alpha thinks that it'll be capable of 14nm right from the start.

Castellano was also the first person to break the news that Naura was developing 5-7nm equipment (which was confirmed by Yicai last month) AFAIK, so he has some credibility

The current model of the SMEE 28nm DUV system is equivalent to the ASML 1980i. This means it can produce 12nm -14nm Chips, but with multiple patterning techniques will be able to reach 7nm. SMIC and HuaHong use the 1980i. ASML (

) is not yet allowed to sell the 2000i model in China.

It will take roughly 12 months for SMEE to come up with an equivalent machine to the ASML 2000i. It looks like SMIC, HuaHong, and Huawei will eventually make their future 7nm and 5nm chips using SMEE lithography equipment.

I know.

Speaking of Havok, he insists that the LPP EUVL machine will come out in 2025, which sounds right, but he's very insistent that its equivalent to the NXE3100 (the CIOMP EUVL tech demonstrator in 2017 already could do 32nm, which is where the NXE3100 was at)?!

Can’t recall he said much about the EUVL machine other than it will use an LPP light source. How much can he know when the components are still being worked on?

IIRC, he said that the domestic EUVL prototype would be finished in 2025, and that it would be equal to the NXE 3100 (can't remember which thread).
