Pretty cool, solid achievement.

Breaking the stranglehold that USA/ROK/TW have on high end IC manufacturing can only be beneficial.

Not really into silly expensive bougie phones but new tech usually comes out like this.

Given the inscrutability of hardware in general, and the desire for 5 eyes to maintain their own backdoors/not give other nations any I suspect competitive chinese chips will end up banned in 5 eyes nations and allies tho :(

TBH I'd prefer a government halfway across the world that doesn't give a shit about me being able to spy on me than my own but obviously no state is keen on citizen's privacy.

Wish Huawei wasn't banned and unusable in my shitty country.

I assume Honor phones (which aren't banned) won't have these Chinese made chips in the future?

all chinese phone

yes huawei

20000 yuan

no huawei

Man I wish band compatibility didn't make using cool phones so hard here even if I did import them

The chip powers the Mate XT 2, the third device in the company's tri-fold line, which starts at 19,999 yuan (~$2,980), and went on sale in China on September 12 2026.

Holy jesus, that price made me spit out my coffee

The LogicFolding design is really interesting. I'm eager to see benchmarks to confirm the performance improvements. If it pans out, they have opened a whole new avenue of chip design beyond the diminishing returns of Moore's law.

LogicFolding splits logic across two active silicon layers bonded face to face, with roughly 50 million vertical interconnects at a pitch of about 1.5 micrometers. Because signals travel shorter distances, Huawei says it could lower operating voltage while raising density.

That's a lot of interconnects!

I will now buy your phone
