I am suspicious of this. Pretty much everyone else have said 9000S for P70New leaks regarding the suggest the upcoming flagship is testing a new Kirin chipset – 9010. According to the details, the P70 handset is reportedly testing an entirely fresh processor to bring enhanced performance on board.
Huawei P70 series continues to raise the excitement of users with its rumors. However, the latest leak is no less than a surprise in the topic. Notably, the company is working with a dynamic Kirin 9010 chipset for the Huawei P70 series.
The news is coming from the courtesy of Weibo tipster @SmartPikachu. Yet, a major confirmation on this subject is still awaited. If true, this would be a significant move by the company amid the growing tensions between the and China trade.
Meanwhile, some inputs revealed that Huawei even registered the trademark of the Kirin 9010 chip in April 2021. The production start of the processor was expected by the year 2022. Although the difficult business scenarios and U.S. restrictions caused the company to drop the development.
But it looks like Huawei is planning to restart the Kirin 9010 manufacturing and introduce it with the ultimate P70 smartphone lineup. Perhaps, the next-gen Kirin processor may bring more powerful capabilities to the approaching P-series with more efficient performance over its predecessors.

The electron beam lithography machine completely independently developed by Zeyou Technology has achieved initial results.
The realization of independent controllability of domestic electron beam lithography machines is an important part of realizing the independent controllability of my country's integrated circuit industry chain. Recently, Zeyou Technology and Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory have made significant progress in the development and industrialization project of a fully autonomous electron beam lithography machine. They successfully developed an electron beam lithography system and realized the complete electron beam lithography machine. The independent controllability marks a key step in the research and development and industrialization of domestic electron beam lithography machines.
Electron beam lithography is a process that uses focused electron beams to expose certain polymers (electron beam photoresists) and develop patterns to obtain patterns. The instrument that generates a focused electron beam and scans the focused electron beam according to a set pattern is called an electron beam lithography machine. It is one of the important means to promote our current fields of new materials, cutting-edge physics research, semiconductors, microelectronics, photons, and quantum research. Previously, the global electron beam lithography machine market was highly concentrated and was mainly monopolized by American and Japanese companies. my country has not yet mastered the core technology in this field and has long relied on imported equipment.
In order to realize the independent controllability of electron beam lithography machines, Zeyou Technology has continued to accumulate multi-disciplinary core technologies such as electron optics, micro-nano technology, high-voltage source and electron source technology, vacuum systems, automatic control, and digital image processing over the years to build It has established a complete technical system and launched a variety of electron beam products such as desktop scanning electron microscopes. In March 2023, Zeyou Technology and Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory jointly invested 24 million yuan to establish a joint engineering center with the goal of creating an electron beam equipment technology innovation base integrating scientific research and industrialization. Through in-depth research and development of cutting-edge technologies in the intersection of electron beams and new materials, we can achieve independent control of key equipment and common technologies, and effectively enhance my country's overall innovation capabilities and industrial competitiveness in the field of electron beam processing and preparation.
At present, Zeyou Technology has completed the development of an engineering prototype of an electron beam lithography machine based on its independently developed scanning electron microscope host, and has carried out functional verification work. Through the exposure production of test samples, high-resolution complex graphics can be drawn, reaching the advanced level. This achievement marks a significant improvement in Zeyou Technology’s independent innovation capabilities in key technologies and complete machines of electron beam lithography machines. In the next step, Zeyou Technology will continue to improve the performance indicators of the electron beam lithography machine so that it can meet the requirements of batch application and industrialization.
It is believed that with the unremitting efforts of the company's technical team, the complete electron beam lithography machine independently developed by Zeyou Technology will accelerate its mass production and commercial application. This will not only significantly reduce the equipment cost of domestic chip manufacturing, but also break down the technical barriers of foreign companies, allowing our country to have independent and controllable electron beam lithography technology, promote domestic substitution, and effectively ensure national information security.
Indeed. Last time I talked with a guy who works in Huawei, he said that P70 will have the same chip as Mate 60 Pro, that was in the beginning of December. However, the overall performance should be slightly better across the board due to software improvements, especially in NN inference.
40 units of SiC epitaxy equipment from the 48th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Corporation were successfully moved in
40 SiC epitaxial furnaces independently developed by the 48th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. were successfully moved in.
Semiconductor Industry Network learned: Recently, with the closure of the transportation channel at a customer's site, 40 SiC epitaxial furnaces independently developed by the 48th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology were successfully moved in.
