AMD's Global Foundries may help them.

AMD doesn't own Global Foundries. They used to use them, but have switched over to TSMC a couple of years ago. I think Global Foundries is owned by the UAE. Anyway, they've given up on 7nm, so they can't help Intel.

It's just like TSMC Nanjing; TSMC gets billions of dollars to build a fab that by the time of operation, is at least two generations behind state of the art.
Hi Peter2018,
AMD is partnering with TSMC, and Global Foundries is selling their EUV and will focus on 28nm, The only way to compete with TSMC domination is thru state sponsor IC industries. Samsung Im afraid may lost its second place to SMIC by 2025 and beyond,they are in a bind. If they choose the US side they will lose the China market to SMIC and had to compete with TSMC , thats why they are planning huge investment just to stay in the game.

Samsung has the advantage of having a huge built in customer in the form of other parts of the family of Samsung conglomerates.
If Huawei actually goes into the fab business, the vast majority of its chips will probably go to other Huawei entities.
Hi Skywatcher,
good to hear from you,
If Huawei actually goes into the fab business, the vast majority of its chips will probably go to other Huawei entities.
Will it affect SMIC since Huawei is one of its biggest customer?
The winner in the tech ban on Huawei is MediaTek, sorry qualcomm,
beware MediaTek you are the next target.

MediaTek announced on July 23 that the new 5G chip, Dimensity 720, has been adopted by phone makers including Huawei, Xiaomi, and OPPO.
The Dimensity 720, unveiled on Thursday, uses TSMC's 7nm process, integrates a low-power 5G baseband, and supports MediaTek's 5G UltraSave power-saving technology.
MediaTek said the chip is positioned in the mid- to high-end market and will promote the popularity of 5G technology.
Industry insiders believe that the Dimensity 720's entry into the Chinese mainland market, the main competition is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 690, which was launched last month.
Previously, MediaTek had launched the Dimensity 800 series of 5G chips. Analysts predict that these chips are expected to start shipping in large quantities this quarter, with peak shipments from the fourth quarter to the first quarter of next year.

The whole world will just revolt against the big bully, causing its bankruptcy. This is going to be the result of this.
Huawei has certainly developed an EDA Tool as part of the 2016-2020 5 year plan but is currently keeping it low key. It is to be used to design Chips which will be built using indigenous Semiconductor equipment. I think you will see some articles about this in the near future.
Hisilicon has used US made EDA Tools thus far as its main Chip Fabricator is TSMC. I believe Cadence EDA software is integrated with ASML Lithography machines, so basically you are forced to use American EDA Tools.
This is an article in English which claims Huawei is developing EDA Software.
