Huawei earlier announced that its latest entry, Mate 40s, will have its latest next-generation Kirin chipsets, termed as Kirin 1000 series. The next-gen processor will be based on the revolutionary 5nm architecture that will feature ARM Cortex-A77 cores.
But to the dismay of Huawei, the US Commerce Department has increased its restrictions on the Chinese tech giant. It has ordered the global chipmakers that used US technology had to obtain a license from the US government to work on designs for Huawei.
Even if the chipmakers want to sell a general-purpose design model to Huawei, they would still require the permission of the US government. Thus, Huawei has now allegedly booked TSMC’s 5nm production line to the greatest extent possible, as the window of its business with the supplier is being narrowed out.
But the ability of TSMC to deliver on this contract will determine the fate of the upcoming Mate 40 Series. As TSMC has less than 10 days, it’s still working non-stop to complete their contract. But, TSMC won’t be able to deliver the products on time, this will further delay the release of Mate 40s and its successors.
How the delay has affected Huawei
For many years Huawei has been a prominent player at the IFA Tech Expo in Berlin. But Honor and Huawei, has only introduced the products such as wearables and notebooks at this year’s Tech Expo, which is a major drop in its performance compared with previous years.
The 5nm Kirin SoC’s has not yet been unveiled as it was planned. Thus, it creates doubt about the future of Huawei’s mobile tech. Huawei has been a major player in the mobile industry for many years. However, with the current restrictions on the company by the US Government, the future of its mobile development looks bleak.
With the production of the 5nm chipset, Huawei was expected to release its Mate 40s series sooner, but since TSMC won’t be able to hold good on their end, it will cause a huge delay in the release of Mate 40s and its successors.
Since the release of Mate 40s has not been officially confirmed the future of Huawei’s mobile tech rests completely in the production and delivery of 5nm chipsets.
