Huawei’s incredible Kirin 9000S chip. The chip is technically incredible. The performance and power consumption profile in a variety of tests bring it on par with 1 to 2-year-old Qualcomm chips (S888 & S8G1). The RF side of the chip is amazing, using an integrated modem that is on par with Qualcomm’s current best. This is not surprising given Huawei was a bit ahead of Qualcomm before they were banned from using TSMC. The most important point is that the RF Front End chips are also domestically produced, which was a capability many thought China lacked. 華為令人難以置信的麒麟 9000S 芯片。 該芯片在技術上令人難以置信。 各種測試中的性能和功耗概況使其與使用 1 至 2 年的高通芯片（S888 和 S8G1）相當。 該芯片的射頻部分令人驚嘆，使用了與高通當前最好的集成調製解調器相媲美的集成調製解調器。 這並不奇怪，因為華為在被禁止使用台積電之前領先於高通。 最重要的一點是，射頻前端芯片也是國產的，這是很多人認為中國缺乏的能力.

不知道什麼智囊的餿主意，制裁華為，不允許買芯片給中國。TMD 賣給誰? Qualcom, Nvidia, AMD, Intel 等企業有大量庫存。欲哭無淚。現在華為生產出7nm 芯片. 完了。美國企業真完了。那些無恥政棍，不懂業務就盲目制裁。殺敵一千，自損兩萬!

The most shocking finding is that when direct comparisons are done on identical IP, the Arm A510 for Huawei’s Kirin 9000S built on SMIC’s N+2 (7nm) and 2022 Qualcomm’s S8G1 built on Samsung’s 4LPX process. The performance and power consumption of the Arm A510 cores are effectively on par with each other despite the process technology gap, indicating SMIC N+2 is better than most in the west realize. Part of the reason these chips are so close to each other is Samsung’s poor yield and SMIC’s good yield. 最令人震驚的發現是，當在相同IP上進行直接比較時，華為麒麟9000S的Arm A510基於中芯國際的N+2（7nm）和2022年高通的S8G1基於三星的4LPX工藝。 儘管存在工藝技術差距，Arm A510 內核的性能和功耗實際上彼此相當，這表明中芯國際 N+2 比西方大多數人意識到的要好。 這些芯片彼此如此接近的部分原因是三星的良率較低，而中芯國際的良率較高.

Put simply, Kirin 9000S is a better designed chip than the West realizes. It has solid power and performance. Even with the lackluster export controls, this is a leading edge chip that would be near the front of the pack in 2021, yet was done with no access to EUV, no access to cutting edge US IP, and intentionally hampered. We cannot overstate how scary this is. 簡而言之，Kirin 9000S 的芯片設計比西方想像的更好。 它具有堅實的動力和性能。 即使出口管制乏善可陳，這也是一款領先的芯片，到 2021 年將接近領先地位，但它是在無法獲得 EUV、無法獲得美國尖端知識產權的情況下完成的，並且是故意受到阻礙的。 我們無法誇大這是多麼可怕.
