Chinese manufacturer Huawei just won a global race to develop the next generation of microchips, narrowly beating Apple to the finish line.
At the IFA consumer electronics trade show in Berlin last Friday, Huawei’s consumer head, Richard Yu, unveiled the firm’s latest processing chip, the Kirin 980. Designed by Huawei’s semiconductor unit, HiSilicon, the Kirin 980 is the world’s first confirmed 7-nanometer mobile chipset, brushing aside the current 10-nanometer standard.
