it cross 3/4 million 5G station now halfway to 2 million station that will cover the country
China has made initial achievements in building the world's largest 5G mobile network, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) said Monday.
Apparently the top of the line Huawei basestation for 5G has 2 logic chips that are 7nm.
If the entire country needs 2 million or 3 million basestations for standalone 5G, then it would seem that Huawei has more than enough for the build out and for export.
Before the American restrictions on TSMC, Huawei was selling 50 million cell phones per quarter. Not all were top of the line using 7nm chips, but that does give us an indication of actual numbers for a stockpile.
If Huawei stockpiled 40-100 million 7nm chips from TSMC, that is enough to last for years, for base stations most definitely, and to stay in the game in high end phones.
Read that Huawei will come out with 3 different models of the foldable phone. Probably a limited edition, only available in China. Make that stockpile last for phones.
Having a stockpile that will last years, such as 3 or 4 years, means time to crank up the IC tech, for Huawei and for the country.
That is the fog of tech war. Huawei still has production and full speed ahead for the 5G in China, while American auto manufactures face a chip shortage and has stopped production temporarily with layoffs.
