A teardown of Huawei's latest Mate 80 Pro Max smartphone has put China's semiconductor progress back under scrutiny, after analysis showed the HiSilicon Kirin 9030 processor was made on SMIC's third-generation 7nm-class N+3 process with a local metal pitch narrower than that of Intel's 18A chip used in Panther Lake.

SemiAnalysis has published the first teardown from its new in-house lab, focusing on the minimum local metal pitch on SMIC’s third-gen 7nm at 32.5nm.
