Re:Huawei builds up 2-year reserve of 'most important' US chips by temac on Saturday May 30, 2020 @08:26AM (#23360671)
SMIC already produces at 14nm. You can cover lots of things with that.

Apparently not enough as Huawei seems pretty nervous about it. If your competition is using 7nm and 5nm parts and you're stuck in the past with 14nm your market share will erode very quickly, especially in the smartphone business.

Mind you that other Chinese smartphone makers do not (as of yet) face the same restrictions and are able to purchase the newest parts. What chance does Huawei stand against them, even in the Chinese market? I'd say very little.
