No. They sourced the dram from other manufacturers.
Stacking chips on top of each other might help in the short and medium term but it will be more expensive in the long run.
You will need more machine tools to make larger effective die area and heat dissipation is harder if you stack chips.
You will also need to spend more money on packaging. And get worse power consumption.
7nm is more expensive than 14nm.
Also the benefit of stacking is low power consumption.
I am constantly bemused by the reaction to China's semi-conductor efforts apropos the US ban, like some how the tech companies in China will all just curl up and die quietly in the corner instead of coming out swinging!
US ban on Chinese Satellite launches didn't stop China making and launching satellites!
US ban on the ISS hasn't stopped China getting access to a space station!
Ban this! ban that! maybe just another instance of 'to a hammer everything is a nail!'
I suppose they are expecting the beggar thy neighbour policies that makes for tent cities in Venice beach will happen in China too!
@foofy sir another novice question what can a 3d stacking chip bring to the table? is it like a INTEL 14nm chip comparable performance wise to TSMC 7nm?
Yes. Achieve 7nm chip performance with 14nm 3d chip.
@foofy Sir thanks for your patience and wisdom, I learned a lot from this discussion.
@Strangelove and @AETHER bro a follow up on your previous post with a more detailed report from ASIA TIMES highlighted below.

Huawei’s HiSilicon moving into advanced 5G chip production
Digitimes report claims Huawei will build its first wafer fabrication facility in Wuhan with production starting in 2022

Currently, Huawei’s Wuhan-based Research Institute has nearly 10,0000 research and development personnel that mainly researching and developing optical communication equipment, HiSilicon chips, and automotive laser radars. Credit: Handout.
=================================
According to an industry insider who spoke to Asia Times, you don’t need to put a 5nm chip into a laptop because processing is moving back to the center with rapid emergence of 5G.
The key is fast communications, which means the Chromebook idea could dominate the market in the future.
“You can set up massive parallel processing arrays with 14-28 nm chips that are as fast as you want, and the laptop is simply a dumb terminal for this central processor,” the insider said.
“The importance of the superfast, narrow gateway chips is exaggerated. China can now or soon will be able to produce all the 14-28nm chips it needs — and that’s 98-99% of the total market.”
China’s 30-year-long semiconductor journey has grown into a major player, accounting for nearly 13% of the global IC design market in 2020.
