Here is some good news for her Huawei. The TSMC announced that it will continue to work with the Chinese company and even proceed with its mass production Kirin 985 SoC.
Η It will be built with the second generation 7nm + scale process that incorporates EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography. The new SoC will be used for the first time in the series Huawei Mate 30 which will logically be presented in October.
Note that the TSMC is based in Taiwan and is not affected by trade agreements with China and the United States. That is why, after all, it will start its mass production Apple A13 SoC which we will see on the new iPhones in September.
Also, the TSMC also announced its future plans to start trial production of processors in 5nm with EUV lithography, with mass production scheduled for the first quarter of 2020 to meet demand from June 2020.
It is not excluded that the transition from 7nm to 5nm will be made with an intermediate production at 6nm, which will be considered as a small upgrade of the 7nm + process.
