Hi, @AnastasiInTech ! Love from Portugal! .. No need to answer, just an idea for a future video, maybe.. .. .. . On the chanel @Computerphile, there is one (and extra episode), about Trinary computing...the professor talks about the 100% entropy eficiency it has.. Russia was pioneer with the trinary computer "Setun".. one or 2 youtube channels (in russian) dedicate thmselves on creating trinary computer/hardware, but, i guess with binary computing designed electronics.. I guess, to create such a system, even assemblers and S.O. to take advantage of such a system, would be necessary to be designed, BUT, even on theory (and discarding the fact that binary system studies are tought currently in educational systems around the world..mostly), would such a system, have advantages, or after these years, a complete tecnological dismiss? Also, how would it look like a contemporary trinary chip, in theory, nowasays? Thxs!

And that's why China's going ahead, while we remain stuck on frivolous appeasement of our ego.
@@morningstararun6278 Since TSMC is moving to Vietnam and everything is going to be even more expensive because of that move, companies that require chips might seek slots in SIMC instead of bidding for slots in TSMC. These SIMC chips will be enough for most companies needs except those that need top of the line chips (the likes of nVidia and Apple that started building FABs for their own use so TSMC is already going to loose those businesses). I hope I've helped. Or maybe you were just joking and referred to screwing as an act of something using screws, or having sex in the butt? Who knows... :)

While Huawei phone sales persist, SMIC will maintain the financial resources necessary for iterative processes. Engineering heavily relies on the cycle of trial and error. The most effective method to undermine a nation's industry is to flood the market with cutting-edge chips at lower prices, discouraging local companies from pursuing iterative improvements. "Ban" sounds powerful in politics but in fact powerless in engineering.

Many people today could probably still use a high-end mobile phone released 3 or 4 years ago without any real issues. So I'm sure the KIrin 9000s is good enough even at 7nm. This is Huawei's comeback CPU and I'm sure better things are yet to come.
I'm using a mid- to low-end (aka budget) phone from 3 or 4 years ago. It's fine still. The problem these days is not so much the processor speed. It's when you run out of storage, everything grinds to a halt. And you have to start moving files to your computer, deleting stuff, removing software. Especially bad if your phone doesn't support a microsd, and you are using memory hogs like WhatsApp/WeChat. WeChat hogs more memory, but WhatsApp does not allow you to move the media folder off internal memory. That was actually the reason why my mom had to replace her phone. The old one still works perfectly otherwise.

@@danielch6662, If memory is the issue, getting a new phone is identical to erasing your old one. For me it’s the battery that’s the problem. I don’t want a faster phone, but rather one that has a longer battery life. If the battery life isn’t longer, it’s not worth upgrading.
I dont believe yield is low, definitely not below 50% or the 30% you quote. No money can widen the DUV machines bottleneck, and they could not manage MASS ptoduction with poor unreliable yields. Finally experts who examined the new Kirin under electron microscope say the transistor elements and layers are very clean and with high quality edges means they are not pushing beyond their equipment or skill resulting in inconsistent quality.
They can mass produce because they ordered truckloads of DUV’s from ASML. It’s a big step they have managed N7 or even N5, but it’s not clear whether production is actually profitable. But this may not be a huge concern for China at this stage. The question is, what is the next step without EUV…

There are a few issues, Huawei themselves never said it is 7nm or 5nm. They only said the performance is comparable to their competitors. Also they emphasize the importance of architecture and software optimization, 4 of the larger cores they used are their in house designed taishan cores(used on their servers previously).

@@urbandecay3436 The US is not the world and many countries is not beholden to US hegemony and US supremacy. The US apply sanctions on another sovereign countries and force sanctions onto other countries and expect other countries to fully accede to US demands and full submission to US interests and US foreign policy?!?! The US wanted to destroys China and its economy in order to prevent China from competing with the US. The US Bureau of Industry and Security issued a document with its 139 pages of dense bureaucratic jargon and minute technical detail is a declaration of economic war on China. The US wanted to destroys China and its economy in order to prevent China from competing with the US. The US government announced its intention to cripple China’s ability to produce or even purchase the highest-end chips. The US wanted to impact China’s A.I. industry and the semiconductor stuff is the means to that end. China was cut off not just from importing the most advanced chips, but also from acquiring the inputs to develop its own advanced semiconductors and supercomputers, and even from the U.S.-origin components, technology and software that could be used to produce semiconductor-manufacturing equipment to eventually build their own fabs to make their own chips. After Oct. 7, the US forbids any persons to engage in any activity that supports the production of advanced semiconductors in China, whether by maintaining or repairing equipment in a Chinese fab, offering advice or even authorizing deliveries to a Chinese semiconductor manufacturer. For China, the race for technological self-sufficiency presents perhaps a greater challenge than any the country has faced. Yet if any country can overcome such a challenge, it is likely to be China. The Oct. 7 export controls, while crippling China’s advanced chip-making ability for the foreseeable future, may end up spurring long-term growth. Now Chinese companies must innovate together or die. Should a large share of China’s $400 billion in annual chip imports be turned inward, domestic chip companies may finally have the means and motivation to catch up. In 2020, Huawei was the largest smartphone seller in the world, with an 18% market share, besting even Apple and Samsung. Huawei’s revenues plunged by nearly a third in 2021, and the company sold off one of its smartphone brands in a bid to stay afloat. By 2022, its share had fallen to 2 percent. The Oct. 7 rules represented the sum of everything U.S. policymakers had learned about semiconductors, supply chains and American power. The US measures were announced to destroys Huawei as direct reaction to a perceived weakness in the Huawei controls. But there are signs of life. Despite the plunge in profits, revenues rose slightly, and the company’s operating system, Harmony OS which it developed after being cut off from using Android, has been installed on more than 380 million devices, mostly in China. Huawei remains one of the world’s biggest spenders on research and development, with a budget of about $24 billion last year and a research team of over 100,000 employees. Bereft of American chips and technology, Huawei has been forced to redesign and remanufacture all of its legacy products to ensure they contain no American components. The company is dragging along an entire domestic supply chain in its wake, sending its own engineers to help train and upscale Chinese suppliers it once shunned in favor of foreign alternatives. Recently, Huawei has made significant breakthroughs in the electronic design software used to produce advanced semiconductors at a size that, though still a few generations behind the US. If Huawei manages to succeed, it could emerge from American sanctions stronger and more resilient than ever. Huawei unveiled its latest Mate 60 Pro that is powered by a 7 nanometer processor. It is a breakthrough in China chipmaking ability given the US and Western sanctions. The US has been trying to freeze China out of the high end semi-conductor industry with all kind of dirty means to prevent China from completing with the US on the highly lucrative technology. The US like to portrays other countries as an antagonists and as well as an adversary when the US face with competition in chip technology which the US regard it as their domains and sphere of influence and will not accept any competition from another country. The US has been trying to freeze China out of the high-end semi-conductor industry with all kind of dirty means to prevent China from completing with the US on the highly lucrative technology. The US tries to kill Huawei on the ground of national security threats. The US undermine and sabotage Huawei through launching extrajudicial probes and even put out a provisional US extradition request on Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou which the US are alleging that Huawei violated the US's sanctions by selling American equipment to Iran, via shell companies set up by Ms Meng. The US announced financial fraud charges against Ms Meng. Ms Meng is under house arrest in Canada on the request by the US. The effects of sanctions cause Huawei US$30 billion annual loss in its smartphone business thereby losing its profitable cellphone and telecommunication business. Whenever the US tries to impose sanctions and bans China from developing chip technology, China will have to work hard to build its own technology to counteract and to redress the US actions in order to save China own industries and development. The US is using its national security strategy and sanctions to forbid China from advancing into high end development and technology. The US is implementing laws to hold on to its high end technology by preventing other countries in competing with US that threatened its monopoly over advanced technology that is the highest form of technology available. The US is trying to prevent China from surpassing them in chip technology by imposing all kind of restriction and sanctioning China in accumulating advanced technology. China will have to work hard to build its own technology to counteract and to redress the US actions in order to save China own industries and development. Nothing change when the US felt threatened in losing control of the chip industries, and tried to use all kind of sanctions including banning chip sales to China and implementing the Chips and Science Act- The Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act of 2022 (CHIPS Act), signed into law on August 9, 2022, is designed to boost US competitiveness, innovation, and national security. The law aims to catalyze investments in domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity. The US even tries to force South Korean’s Samsung and Taiwan’s TSMC to build their semiconductor industries to jump-start its own high tech industries to the US. The US force other countries from cooperating with China with regard to manufacturing and selling machines in manufacturing high technology chips. The US is making a mockery of its own market mechanism by using laws in curbing competition from other countries. Slowly but surely, China begins to make steady progress towards its high-tech industries. China stands at the forefront of leveraging chiplet technology to overcome sanctions and drive its semiconductor ambitions. Huawei has demonstrated resilience by harnessing chiplets, thus revolutionizing China's semiconductor landscape. Huawei's mastery of chiplet technology and the prospects of cross-border cooperation is the need of the hour to democratize technological advancements instead of stifling innovation with sanctions. Amid escalating tensions and Western sanctions limiting Huawei's access to advanced chip manufacturing tools, the company has displayed remarkable adaptability. Huawei's strategic response involves capitalizing on its semiconductor design prowess and forging partnerships, such as with Semiconductor Manufacturing International Co. (SMIC). By embracing chiplet technology, Huawei mitigates the impact of trade restrictions and cultivates a self-reliant and robust supply chain. Huawei achievement is good for the entire world and for China. The future of chips was life or death for China. The Wolfowitz Doctrine announces the US's status as the world's only remaining superpower and proclaims its main objective to be retaining that status. The US will discourage other countries from challenging the US leadership or seeking to overturn the established political and economic order. The US like to portrays other countries as an antagonists and as well as an adversary when the US face with competition in space or high-tech industries which the US regard it as their domains and sphere of influence and will not accept any competition from another country. The US must maintain the mechanisms for deterring potential competitors in other countries from even aspiring to a larger regional or global role. The US want to forestall and prevent other countries from challenging US hegemony and primacy. The US is nothing short of a tyrant and an oppressor to other countries around the world.
It is really good for the consumers in the world because high end chip margin is super super high, but will soon drop with this new competition fm Huawei chips.

For someone who know little about EUV and DUv, that is an excellent explanation about the differences!!

So, China tech companies, mostly Huawei, is making their own design software/tools, designing their own chips, creating their own OS (Harmony) Soon, the world may see two alternatives to tech. It is a good thing for consumer and competition. Apple had been too complacent. No new advancement to the iPhone in the last few years.
Harmony OS is basically Android. The toolchain is all from Google, Linux, et al. They ain't making their own stuff, they're adapting open-source. Nothing compared to what Apple, Google, and other companies do.
@@johndrumpf9888 How could a great company full of future idealism adopt Android's kernel architecture? Huawei Hongmeng system adopts an open source approach, and the source code has been posted on the official website. According to its source code, the kernel is developed based on C language, and some functional modules are written in a mixture of C language and C++. Generally speaking, the Hongmeng system is based on the C language and is jointly developed with some C++ language. Although Huawei's Hongmeng system and Google's Android system are both developed based on the Linux system, different development concepts lead to differences between the two. The Hongmeng system, like Apple's iOS system, does not use the virtual machine translation mode. Instead, it uses the C/C++ language to allow outer commands to reach the Linux kernel smoothly. Because the Linux kernel is written in the C/C++ language, it does not No extra translation is needed, and the Linux kernel can directly understand the meaning of the instructions. However, it is not realistic for Huawei's Hongmeng system to catch up with and surpass Google's Android system in a short period of time. Although the two are in a state of ebb and flow, it still takes time to achieve. There are two major problems with Huawei's Hongmeng system. One is ecosystem construction, and the second is that users' usage habits are difficult to change. According to the official introduction, Hongmeng system is a "future-oriented" operating system and a distributed operating system based on microkernel for all scenarios. Because it uses a microkernel, it can be flexibly deployed on different devices. Hongmeng system has a three-layer architecture. The first layer is the microkernel, the second layer is basic services, and the third layer is the program framework. Therefore, it can be adapted to almost all terminal devices: mobile phones, tablets, computers, TVs, smart cars, wearable devices, etc. Hongmeng system supports multiple development languages, mainly including C/C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Kotlin, Swift, HTML5, etc. 12 Among them, C/C++ language is mainly used for system-level development and calling of underlying interfaces, Java language is widely used in application development, JavaScript is used for Web application and hybrid application development, and Python is gradually gaining popularity in fields such as data analysis and artificial intelligence. application. In addition, Hongmeng system also has a high-level language ArkTS designed specifically for itself. It is extended based on TypeScript and is suitable for application development of Hongmeng system. ArkTS language ArkTS is the application development language of Hongmeng Ecosystem. On the basis of maintaining the basic syntax style of TypeScript (TS for short), it imposes stricter constraints on the dynamic type characteristics of TS and introduces static types. At the same time, it provides declarative UI, state management and other corresponding capabilities, allowing developers to develop high-performance applications in a simpler and more natural way.

Thank you for the commentary, regarding the Huawei Kirin chip, from an ACCURATE engineering scientific point of view. Most people explaining the appearance of this chip have even less knowledge than the little I have.👍
If you think they are stuck with 7nm technology, think again, there literally tens of thousands of Chinese engineers working day and night working on EUV or another totally different path to produce equivalent advanced chips. They are not just working on the lithography machine alone, they are literally working on the entire supply chain from beginning to end, packaging, testing, chip design, software etc, and it is inevtiable they will have all of this way sooner than you think. Think of the implication of this, and this would NEVER have happened if it were not for US pushing them in the first place.
You mean they have tens of thousands of Chinese hackers spying on western Companies like ASML to steal information to reengineer what has already been invented. 😂
"this would NEVER have happened if it were not for US pushing them in the first place" - you're right. it would not have been so delayed. They were working on this long before US freaked out over the military implications. all they are doing is slowing them down.
Update: it might be 5nm chips. On 9/25, Huawei released a system software displays Huawei Mate 60 Pro specs. And it shows 5nm chip set in the system status. But Huawei is quiet about it. No official confirmation. It creates a lot of buzz last week. Let's see how it plays out in coming days. If it is really 5nm, that means China is ON PAR with Western chip technology. The so called 3nm chip that Apple claims to use for iPhone 15 is only using 3nm technology for a small portion of the chip. 5nm chip is the real leading-edge production at scale.
It is no doubt a 5nm chips, tech insights said the wafer area is only 2% larger than Kirin 9000 which is 5nm made by TSMC. Considering it has more transistors in it, Kirin 9000s definitely is a 5nm chips.
The size of thrs chips don't really matter all that much ,there are numerous ways to make it function, as in the case of Huawei Matr 70. The phone is actually 5.5 G, while Apple 15 hasn't made much progress despite it having a 3 nM chip.
5.5G lmao, they dont even have chips for regular 5G due to sanctions and magically they made a better chip than the chips they had but couldnt even produce for themselves? Pass me some of your crack, looks like banging stuff
A lot of people think china's chip is not a big achievement, I think their not looking at the tragectory in this tech development and how fast it is moving up. If they can keep momentum it's very competitive to what the rest of the world is doing when working together.
like Japan and South Korea... at one point SK was 10 years behind JP, but in just 2 years the gap close to 1 year... today is ahead. many people don't understand that 10 years behind does not mean it will necessarily take 10 years to close the gap.
@@johnsmith-cw3wo So that means they were not 10 years behind, but 2? I mean the years gap should not be how long toke that technology to be developed at the first time, but how long would take today with the current available knowledge. But yeah, is something really difficult to measure, because depends of a lot of factors, the country that is trying to produce the chip by itself, how many technology they have access to, how many professionals in the area they have, how many industrial capability they have, etc, etc, etc... So in that regards I understand your point. Is a lot more easier check what that country has at this moment and measure the years on how long take to the pioneers starting to that point to the current stage.
@@Ateshtesh yes... it just meant for Japan it took 10 years, Korea did it in 2. (can very well be a situation when a country is 5 years behind then it take 20 years to catch up... does not always have to be less 😁)

TSMC first started making 7nm chip before they got their first EUV. intel also invested heavily in non-EUV tech because of their sunken cost. SMIC co leader created the TSMC DUV 7nm chip a decade ago and help Samsung reach chip parity with TSMC, so for him to lead SIMC to do 7nm chip with DUV is no surprise, it actually an easy job for him. this is why they like to say chip making is like baking. having a better oven helps, but how good the cake is, depend on the baker, not the oven. this is why US make shitty chip despite having the best oven. and while i agree it is more expensive to make chip on DUV, I don't really agree that it would be "sky high", since SMIC operation cost is likely lower than TSMC. if you need to take longer u just need more machine to offset by economic of scale. so the question is really how fast can China scale up.
Not a decade ago. TSMC began production of 256 Mbit SRAM memory chips using a 7 nm process called N7 in June 2016. That is the first DUV 7nm and only to memory chip which is less complicated to mobile core Soc. Then first 7 nm mobile processor intended for mass market use was produced at 2018.
Yes! As you mentioned, some say it may be close to a 5nm node. That's my guess too if Huawei's new chip is made with SMIC's N+2 process because the N+1 process is close to 7nm. And I read a claim that there will also be a Kirin 9100s chip released in 2023 with 4nm. I have doubts about that but we will see, the Chinese tech industry often hides its cards it seems.
@@zim2023Dwl My guess is that China needs redundancy for their long-terms plans. This includes a large margin for the tech industry making the Chinese tech companies appear weaker than they actually are while western tech companies try to look stronger because of a focus on short-term profit.

SMEE has manufactured a couple of 28nm lithography machines (192nm ArF) that are successfully tested and certified. ASML lithography machines had been replaced by those made-in-China lithography machines.
The chip is not Chinese. It's supposedly partially made in Korea. China can't do shit, they are copycats. And no, it's not anywhere close to Apple's chips.
It's a start. Once proven, they can improvised and improve. It's a learning process and ultimately once they achieve it, it will 100% Chinese made and that will be a loser to other countries that try to sanction. They are digging their own graves.
The Huawei system update on the 18th unlocked 12 threads. Judging from the decompression of the same large file today, the Kirin 9000s is faster than the Snapdragon 8Gen2. We look forward to the Huawei conference on the 25th to unlock the GPU and revive the Kirin with full health!
So far no test software on the market knows how to test the Mate60 GPU, this clearly implies it is of a very different architecture. A hands-on review claims Mate60 is smoother at the UI level, but this smoothness can be for various reasons. Some games experienced hiccups but this is most likely optimization/driver issues.
Not sure if you recall, but TSMC's first gen 7nm node (7FF) was fabbed via DUV alone, with no EUV layers. They reached ~97 Mtr/mm^2 in their densest library, with 75 layers in total. A while later they first tested EUV with their second gend (7FFP) 7nm node. They employed EUV on just 6 non critical layers, out of 65 layers in total. 7FFP was markedly denser, with 114 Mtr/mm^2. On their N5 node they increased the EUV layers to 14 and also lowered the total layer count to 59. And from N4 onward the EUV/DUV layers ratio is gradually changing in favor of progressively more EUV layers.
Though I am a programmer, I am not involved with the defense industry. However, as far as I know, China is already in the ballpark, in terms of being able to compete with the US as a near-peer adversary, as far as microprocessors used in defense applications go. One does not need to exactly match one’s opponents, if geography and logistics enables one to compensate with greater numbers and availability. This certainly applies to a conflict between China and western forces in the South China Sea.
Tensions in South China Sea and in Taiwan, are actually about chips, U.s. tryin to stop One China idea so China cant get access in Taiwan Chip Industry. But if China make huge break in chips design and chip production in mainland - than U.S. will lost interest in conflict China about Taiwan ...

The big news today is that China has developed a new light source to produce EUV lithography and are building a factory to implement it. If so, SMIC can take the EUV step without ASML.
i think they can easily go for 5nm from 7 nm in the 2024 , because its not just about machine its about humans brains , the achieved 7 nm thanks to the chinese dude who left TSMC and have brought its R&D engineers team along him to the SMIC . so he can turn the tables for SMIC for sure
2024. This I've got to see. If they can really achieve it, my hat will be off. I will not hold my breath as I think they may achieve it in 5 to 10 years. We will see, since its only a year to wait. Do not believe all the hype. Only real results. How about the video of that guy who bought the phone and tried, actually failed, to use the satellite connection which he really wanted to use since he lives in a rural area. We will see.
He would have stayed put at tsmc if not for the mis treatment he got from his former employer, at one point, his executive room was ripped apart and remodelled to fit 4 workdesks and shared space with 3 new engineers while he was sent to Europe , and he joined Samsung shortly after. The Huawei position came later.
The SMIC "7nm" process node based on a nxt 1980 di ARF stepper is a pretty big deal. They're not completely self-sufficient in terms to front-end fabbing (everyone's dependent on TE photoresists for example) but they are getting around the export restrictions pretty well.
Good for them! the US never play fair - they resort to sabotage instead of just making a better product. They might delay China a few years but all they've really done is ensure that China invest and eventually catch up. It's not like the US developed EUV either - but they get to dictate to a second country who can and can't buy their products? China are more successful because they're nice.

Actually China come out with something entirely different it's not exactly a DUV they are using, they are using a much larger scale of light sources something similar to EUV but not as compact as the ASML photography machine however would the result they produced here is quite impressive.
With the silicon chip density nears physical limit, break thrus at the bleeding edge is going to take even more time and money. For the Chinese, playing catchup and innovating with well studied and established technological know how, it is potentially much faster than those operating at the frontiers of technology. Hence the gap between China vs TSMC, Samsung will probably narrow even faster despite all the sanctions.
In spite of facing the bleeding edge ,Chinese can still develop faster than other coutries because of not only the technology but also the political regulation ,
the chinese works one day the job they do is worth 3 days working for USA and EU workers ,the working efficiency is quite different , most westerns still did not notice about this
@EventH I didn't realize "only the whites can invent and only the whites can succeed" or "Chinese only copy, and Chinese are incapable to invent" can be expressed in that many forms by the White racist bigots.
It's not a question of how far you can go. You have to carve your own path. It's as if you were a car manufacturer and suddenly one day your tire supplier stopped supplying you with tires under duress from your enemy. You have no choice but to develop and produce your own tires. Knowledge cannot be blocked. The greater the market demand, the more resources will be invested in research, because this is a blank market and the most valuable venture capital project. Profit is the biggest driving force for the development of human science and technology.
The question for the Chinese, is how to achieve 6 sigma production for 5nm with DUV machines at high volume. I think the Chinese can achieve such manufacturing quality & quantity given time. Other questions are, can the Chinese think out of the box & leap frog the EUV process with some our process, such as improving semiconductor packaging, stacking more layers to the IC substrate which can be done with thier current equipments. Or will they be able to reverse engineer EUV. I think the key to the EUV is the reflections of mirrors & transmition of EUV through highly sophisticated lens & mirrors. My observations is that to manufacture the EUV machine it need the whole supply chain of supporting eco-systems of suppliers, which is difficult to bulit.
Your channel is good and informative, it would be good if you put what you say in Latin audio and that will make it reach more to that community as well.
There are many speculations and detractors about how SMIC and Huawei have achieved the new chip. We really don't know for sure. Also, western commentators need to know that TSMC engineers now working with SMIC are Chinese people. They were not forced to go work for SMIC. What the China through these companies have achieved cannot be gainsaid. Whether it's 7nm or not, the performance of the Kirin is good enough to match the Snapdragon. That's saying a lot.
Hi Anatasi, maybe you shall talk more about the functionality on how the machine make chips? I always read about the lithography machine, but i dont know how it functions.
I came across your site by accident. Thank you for breaking down the pieces to something understandable for a layman, like me. I am always interested, but when it comes to technology it blurs out in my mind. Its like lawyers or doctors who debate and write in jargons unfit for normal consumption. ....so that they can charge more. This is the feeling I get about technology. This is the most productive 15 mins I spent on listening to technology blablabla which are comprehensible words and sentences constructed at common sense level. . Many thanks. I will be back.
Beautifully clear, informative & stimulating video. As Brunel said: Engineering is doing for 6 pence what any fool can do for 12 pence. So impressive how necessity is the mother of invention. Thank you for sharing!
The original TSMC N7 is DUV only too. They implemented EUV in its enhanced versions later like N7+ and N6. Products on that DUV only 7nm were priced pretty reasonably. It's the later EUV ones that they hiked the prices on contrary to your analysis.
That's true, price per transistor has gone up for the first time in history. Modern eUV nodes are just so insane. It is by far the most complex and greatest technological achievement that humanity has achieved.
Wait til they build their own euv machine. Definitely won't be surprised if they do. They also might try next gen litography approach, if they manage to achieve that, they'll definitely become industry leaders. Sometimes, not able to access current advance tech is quite a blessing cause you just need to skip to next gen. Much like developing countries that don't upgrade their coppers and simply skipped to fibers, now have much more internet bandwidth and speed than developed countries that did.
Given that the lower physical limit of chip is 2 nm, which sets the maximum barrier for electron tunneling, ASML is approaching the borderline imposed by Physics Law. This gives more advantage to the pursuer (like Huawei) over the pioneer/inventor (like ASML).
@@CesarMaidana-g7m A silicon atom is 0.132 nm across. So how can it be 0.002nm? Moreover, thats just the atom itself, including the crystalline structure thats even larger.
It looks like SMIC made big improvements in the precision of wafer alignment between pattern exposures. This not only enables them to cs 5nm, it can be used all the way up the chain to 20 nm, or anywhere mp is used, to reduce variation and increase yield. TSMC and Samsung do not have this alignment technology, because they had EUV instead. But they are doing mp too, and reportedly only managing 55% yield at 3nm, and with only small improvements in PPA. Because alignment is even more critical at 3nm. It looks like SMIC has the upper hand: state of the art chips and low cost.
Chinas motto is "necessity is the mother of invention" they have limited resources, so they are making way to achieve same result using technology that is readily available.

I’m using an iPhone 7, and it’s fine.
The issue is cost though. How much do these chips cost compared to the TSMC chips?
I'm using a mid- to low-end (aka budget) phone from 3 or 4 years ago. It's fine still. The problem these days is not so much the processor speed. It's when you run out of storage, everything grinds to a halt. And you have to start moving files to your computer, deleting stuff, removing software.

I have been waiting for her ever since they announced the Kirin 9k. All other platform talking gibrish
I dont believe yield is low, definitely not below 50% or the 30% you quote. No money can widen the DUV machines bottleneck, and they could not manage MASS ptoduction with poor unreliable yields. Finally experts who examined the new Kirin under electron microscope say the transistor elements and layers are very clean and with high quality edges means they are not pushing beyond their equipment or skill resulting in inconsistent quality.
and now you know why the china haters are going mad trying to come up with explanations.
They can mass produce because they ordered truckloads of DUV’s from ASML. It’s a big step they have managed N7 or even N5, but it’s not clear whether production is actually profitable. But this may not be a huge concern for China at this stage.

The US Bureau of Industry and Security issued a document with its 139 pages of dense bureaucratic jargon and minute technical detail is a declaration of economic war on China.
The US wanted to destroys China and its economy in order to prevent China from competing with the US.
The US government announced its intention to cripple China’s ability to produce or even purchase the highest-end chips.
The US wanted to impact China’s A.I. industry and the semiconductor stuff is the means to that end.
China was cut off not just from importing the most advanced chips, but also from acquiring the inputs to develop its own advanced semiconductors and supercomputers, and even from the U.S.-origin components, technology and software that could be used to produce semiconductor-manufacturing equipment to eventually build their own fabs to make their own chips.
After Oct. 7, the US forbids any persons to engage in any activity that supports the production of advanced semiconductors in China, whether by maintaining or repairing equipment in a Chinese fab, offering advice or even authorizing deliveries to a Chinese semiconductor manufacturer.
For China, the race for technological self-sufficiency presents perhaps a greater challenge than any the country has faced.
Yet if any country can overcome such a challenge, it is likely to be China.
The Oct. 7 export controls, while crippling China’s advanced chip-making ability for the foreseeable future, may end up spurring long-term growth.
Now Chinese companies must innovate together or die.
Should a large share of China’s $400 billion in annual chip imports be turned inward, domestic chip companies may finally have the means and motivation to catch up.
In 2020, Huawei was the largest smartphone seller in the world, with an 18% market share, besting even Apple and Samsung. Huawei’s revenues plunged by nearly a third in 2021, and the company sold off one of its smartphone brands in a bid to stay afloat. By 2022, its share had fallen to 2 percent.
The Oct. 7 rules represented the sum of everything U.S. policymakers had learned about semiconductors, supply chains and American power.
The US measures were announced to destroys Huawei as direct reaction to a perceived weakness in the Huawei controls.
But there are signs of life. Despite the plunge in profits, revenues rose slightly, and the company’s operating system, Harmony OS which it developed after being cut off from using Android, has been installed on more than 380 million devices, mostly in China.
Huawei remains one of the world’s biggest spenders on research and development, with a budget of about $24 billion last year and a research team of over 100,000 employees.
Bereft of American chips and technology, Huawei has been forced to redesign and remanufacture all of its legacy products to ensure they contain no American components.
The company is dragging along an entire domestic supply chain in its wake, sending its own engineers to help train and upscale Chinese suppliers it once shunned in favor of foreign alternatives.
Recently, Huawei has made significant breakthroughs in the electronic design software used to produce advanced semiconductors at a size that, though still a few generations behind the US.
If Huawei manages to succeed, it could emerge from American sanctions stronger and more resilient than ever.

China stands at the forefront of leveraging chiplet technology to overcome sanctions and drive its semiconductor ambitions.
Huawei has demonstrated resilience by harnessing chiplets, thus revolutionizing China's semiconductor landscape.
Huawei's mastery of chiplet technology and the prospects of cross-border cooperation is the need of the hour to democratize technological advancements instead of stifling innovation with sanctions.
Amid escalating tensions and Western sanctions limiting Huawei's access to advanced chip manufacturing tools, the company has displayed remarkable adaptability.
Huawei's strategic response involves capitalizing on its semiconductor design prowess and forging partnerships, such as with Semiconductor Manufacturing International Co. (SMIC).
By embracing chiplet technology, Huawei mitigates the impact of trade restrictions and cultivates a self-reliant and robust supply chain.

@@johndrumpf9888 How could a great company full of future idealism adopt Android's kernel architecture?
Huawei Hongmeng system adopts an open source approach, and the source code has been posted on the official website. According to its source code, the kernel is developed based on C language, and some functional modules are written in a mixture of C language and C++. Generally speaking, the Hongmeng system is based on the C language and is jointly developed with some C++ language.
Although Huawei's Hongmeng system and Google's Android system are both developed based on the Linux system, different development concepts lead to differences between the two. The Hongmeng system, like Apple's iOS system, does not use the virtual machine translation mode. Instead, it uses the C/C++ language to allow outer commands to reach the Linux kernel smoothly. Because the Linux kernel is written in the C/C++ language, it does not No extra translation is needed, and the Linux kernel can directly understand the meaning of the instructions.
However, it is not realistic for Huawei's Hongmeng system to catch up with and surpass Google's Android system in a short period of time. Although the two are in a state of ebb and flow, it still takes time to achieve. There are two major problems with Huawei's Hongmeng system. One is ecosystem construction, and the second is that users' usage habits are difficult to change.
According to the official introduction, Hongmeng system is a "future-oriented" operating system and a distributed operating system based on microkernel for all scenarios. Because it uses a microkernel, it can be flexibly deployed on different devices. Hongmeng system has a three-layer architecture. The first layer is the microkernel, the second layer is basic services, and the third layer is the program framework. Therefore, it can be adapted to almost all terminal devices: mobile phones, tablets, computers, TVs, smart cars, wearable devices, etc.
Hongmeng system supports multiple development languages, mainly including C/C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Kotlin, Swift, HTML5, etc. 12
Among them, C/C++ language is mainly used for system-level development and calling of underlying interfaces, Java language is widely used in application development, JavaScript is used for Web application and hybrid application development, and Python is gradually gaining popularity in fields such as data analysis and artificial intelligence. application. In addition, Hongmeng system also has a high-level language ArkTS designed specifically for itself. It is extended based on TypeScript and is suitable for application development of Hongmeng system.
ArkTS language
ArkTS is the application development language of Hongmeng Ecosystem. On the basis of maintaining the basic syntax style of TypeScript (TS for short), it imposes stricter constraints on the dynamic type characteristics of TS and introduces static types. At the same time, it provides declarative UI, state management and other corresponding capabilities, allowing developers to develop high-performance applications in a simpler and more natural way.

"this would NEVER have happened if it were not for US pushing them in the first place" - you're right. it would not have been so delayed. They were working on this long before US freaked out over the military implications. all they are doing is slowing them down.
Update: it might be 5nm chips. On 9/25, Huawei released a system software displays Huawei Mate 60 Pro specs. And it shows 5nm chip set in the system status. But Huawei is quiet about it. No official confirmation. It creates a lot of buzz last week. Let's see how it plays out in coming days.
If it is really 5nm, that means China is ON PAR with Western chip technology. The so called 3nm chip that Apple claims to use for iPhone 15 is only using 3nm technology for a small portion of the chip. 5nm chip is the real leading-edge production at scale.
It is no doubt a 5nm chips, tech insights said the wafer area is only 2% larger than Kirin 9000 which is 5nm made by TSMC. Considering it has more transistors in it, Kirin 9000s definitely is a 5nm chips.
LOL, this sounds like a big cope.
The size of thrs chips don't really matter all that much ,there are numerous ways to make it function, as in the case of Huawei Matr 70. The phone is actually 5.5 G, while Apple 15 hasn't made much progress despite it having a 3 nM chip.
5.5G lmao, they dont even have chips for regular 5G due to sanctions and magically they made a better chip than the chips they had but couldnt even produce for themselves? Pass me some of your crack, looks like banging stuff
A lot of people think china's chip is not a big achievement, I think their not looking at the tragectory in this tech development and how fast it is moving up. If they can keep momentum it's very competitive to what the rest of the world is doing when working together.
like Japan and South Korea... at one point SK was 10 years behind JP, but in just 2 years the gap close to 1 year... today is ahead.
many people don't understand that 10 years behind does not mean it will necessarily take 10 years to close the gap.
DUV is a dead end anyway. It's the same as build huge monument for the dead.
@@johnsmith-cw3wo So that means they were not 10 years behind, but 2?
I mean the years gap should not be how long toke that technology to be developed at the first time, but how long would take today with the current available knowledge.
But yeah, is something really difficult to measure, because depends of a lot of factors, the country that is trying to produce the chip by itself, how many technology they have access to, how many professionals in the area they have, how many industrial capability they have, etc, etc, etc...
So in that regards I understand your point.
Is a lot more easier check what that country has at this moment and measure the years on how long take to the pioneers starting to that point to the current stage.
@@Ateshtesh yes... it just meant for Japan it took 10 years, Korea did it in 2. (can very well be a situation when a country is 5 years behind then it take 20 years to catch up... does not always have to be less 😁)
@@johnsmith-cw3wodid u know South Korea was way behind Japan and Taiwan until this one engineer from TSMC from Taiwan helped Samsung leapfrog Japan and catching up to TSMC. But now this engineer already helping China SMIC to achieved 7nm in short period of time.
TSMC first started making 7nm chip before they got their first EUV. intel also invested heavily in non-EUV tech because of their sunken cost. SMIC co leader created the TSMC DUV 7nm chip a decade ago and help Samsung reach chip parity with TSMC, so for him to lead SIMC to do 7nm chip with DUV is no surprise, it actually an easy job for him. this is why they like to say chip making is like baking. having a better oven helps, but how good the cake is, depend on the baker, not the oven. this is why US make shitty chip despite having the best oven.
and while i agree it is more expensive to make chip on DUV, I don't really agree that it would be "sky high", since SMIC operation cost is likely lower than TSMC. if you need to take longer u just need more machine to offset by economic of scale. so the question is really how fast can China scale up.
The advantage is china will become master of trade in the world because it can make every things locally
Great comment and based on fact and reality
yes, TSMC needs to pay the US, that is reason why the cost can be "sky high"
You assumed china not have domestic EUV like techno
The chips are 5 nm not 7 nm
Not a decade ago. TSMC began production of 256 Mbit SRAM memory chips using a 7 nm process called N7 in June 2016. That is the first DUV 7nm and only to memory chip which is less complicated to mobile core Soc. Then first 7 nm mobile processor intended for mass market use was produced at 2018.
Yes! As you mentioned, some say it may be close to a 5nm node. That's my guess too if Huawei's new chip is made with SMIC's N+2 process because the N+1 process is close to 7nm. And I read a claim that there will also be a Kirin 9100s chip released in 2023 with 4nm. I have doubts about that but we will see, the Chinese tech industry often hides its cards it seems.
Watch for Huawei event on 25 Sep. More new products and info will be released.
china in certain cases only announce anything after they are really ready, never say "we will produce X".
They have no option but to keep a low key, you know the reason
@@zim2023Dwl My guess is that China needs redundancy for their long-terms plans. This includes a large margin for the tech industry making the Chinese tech companies appear weaker than they actually are while western tech companies try to look stronger because of a focus on short-term profit.

6:12: 💻 The speaker discusses the Clean My Mac X software and its helpful features for editing videos on a MacBook.
9:18: 💡 SMIC can fabricate nanometers without EUV machines by hiring brilliant engineers and getting creative with limited resources.
12:02: 📺 The economic efficiency of 7 nanometer technology using EUV is significantly higher compared to DUV tools, but pushing the limits to smaller process nodes will take time and result in high defect rates.
Recap by Tammy AI
I think I remember Huawei hinted they are looking at ways around using EUV machines to make chips.
China will not move on to EUV because they choose to pursue Quantum chip technology, which is a new ground for everyone.
😂😂If you think so then you are not far from being doomed
SMEE has manufactured a couple of 28nm lithography machines (192nm ArF) that are successfully tested and certified. ASML lithography machines had been replaced by those made-in-China lithography machines.
7nm can be used in many products , it's a milestone for china
你是正确的,中国芯片技术有了0到1的突破。7nm到3nm还有差距

Its a DUV chip. This is the limit of that tech. This is like building a really great propellor prop plane when your competition is in the jet age.

Yesterday, Huawei unlocked Mate60,The 12-core hyper-threaded CPU has surpassed the 3 nm cores used by Qualcomm and Apple processors.
utter lies
@@peter-xw1muWhy?
The hyper-threading is confirmed but the final (this may not be the last unlock, GPU side not touched yet) performance needs more testing.
@@peter-xw1mu Suck it up, the west is over.
The chip is not Chinese. It's supposedly partially made in Korea. China can't do shit, they are copycats. And no, it's not anywhere close to Apple's chips.
It's a start. Once proven, they can improvised and improve. It's a learning process and ultimately once they achieve it, it will 100% Chinese made and that will be a loser to other countries that try to sanction. They are digging their own graves.
Extremely well explained!
Thanks for writing and sharing!
Also: "There is a big difference between research and mass production!"
The Huawei system update on the 18th unlocked 12 threads. Judging from the decompression of the same large file today, the Kirin 9000s is faster than the Snapdragon 8Gen2. We look forward to the Huawei conference on the 25th to unlock the GPU and revive the Kirin with full health!

@@黄微-j2j 说实话发布会有点失望,不过还好Mate 60 RS上架,可以预约了,很期待RS的SOC是什么制程
So far no test software on the market knows how to test the Mate60 GPU, this clearly implies it is of a very different architecture. A hands-on review claims Mate60 is smoother at the UI level, but this smoothness can be for various reasons. Some games experienced hiccups but this is most likely optimization/driver issues.
they did not say anything on the release conference. It seems that they do not want to disclose much information to prevent further sanaction from US
Not sure if you recall, but TSMC's first gen 7nm node (7FF) was fabbed via DUV alone, with no EUV layers.
They reached ~97 Mtr/mm^2 in their densest library, with 75 layers in total.
A while later they first tested EUV with their second gend (7FFP) 7nm node. They employed EUV on just 6 non critical layers, out of 65 layers in total. 7FFP was markedly denser, with 114 Mtr/mm^2.
On their N5 node they increased the EUV layers to 14 and also lowered the total layer count to 59.
And from N4 onward the EUV/DUV layers ratio is gradually changing in favor of progressively more EUV layers.
Though I am a programmer, I am not involved with the defense industry. However, as far as I know, China is already in the ballpark, in terms of being able to compete with the US as a near-peer adversary, as far as microprocessors used in defense applications go. One does not need to exactly match one’s opponents, if geography and logistics enables one to compensate with greater numbers and availability. This certainly applies to a conflict between China and western forces in the South China Sea.
Tensions in South China Sea and in Taiwan, are actually about chips, U.s. tryin to stop One China idea so China cant get access in Taiwan Chip Industry. But if China make huge break in chips design and chip production in mainland - than U.S. will lost interest in conflict China about Taiwan ...
@@gale8225 - A good way to solve the tension is to encourage Taiwan to join USA as the 51st state. That should make the WuMao crazy LOL
The ccp in West Taiwan will be crazy that the little island containing the legitimate government of china in exile joined USA. They will lose their minds ha ha.
@@gale8225no. It is not about chips. Chips is just one of the things to try to halt china's growth. White MAN can't stand another race catching up.
Technology can only go so far. China has only enemies around them if they are going to attack some country in the waters around. All these countries are more than happy to serve as logistics bases for the United States. A military agression would be an enormous mistake by China. They have a much better future at continueing developing themselves and pacific relations with other countries, instead of acting as the local bully in Asia.
@@InXLsisDeo lol. man the western media did an excellent job brainwashing you about China (and the world too). So many weak minds it's SAD. Go to the front line to fight China, dude, that's all you are worth (in mental capacity)😂🤣😂
The big news today is that China has developed a new light source to produce EUV lithography and are building a factory to implement it. If so, SMIC can take the EUV step without ASML.
Even surpass the ASLM
Good luck everybody, compete or be overtaken. Do your own work too.
工厂在半年前已经施工了
@@李洋-u1x Amazing! If so, production?
i think they can easily go for 5nm from 7 nm in the 2024 , because its not just about machine its about humans brains , the achieved 7 nm thanks to the chinese dude who left TSMC and have brought its R&D engineers team along him to the SMIC . so he can turn the tables for SMIC for sure
2024. This I've got to see. If they can really achieve it, my hat will be off. I will not hold my breath as I think they may achieve it in 5 to 10 years. We will see, since its only a year to wait. Do not believe all the hype. Only real results. How about the video of that guy who bought the phone and tried, actually failed, to use the satellite connection which he really wanted to use since he lives in a rural area. We will see.
Even with those former TSMC employees, it is impressive to produce the chips with all sanctions
He would have stayed put at tsmc if not for the mis treatment he got from his former employer, at one point, his executive room was ripped apart and remodelled to fit 4 workdesks and shared space with 3 new engineers while he was sent to Europe , and he joined Samsung shortly after. The Huawei position came later.
@@happyzahn8031 Weird because I saw a lot of videos of success use of satellite connections.
what is the title of the video to look for it?
The SMIC "7nm" process node based on a nxt 1980 di ARF stepper is a pretty big deal. They're not completely self-sufficient in terms to front-end fabbing (everyone's dependent on TE photoresists for example) but they are getting around the export restrictions pretty well.
Good for them! the US never play fair - they resort to sabotage instead of just making a better product. They might delay China a few years but all they've really done is ensure that China invest and eventually catch up. It's not like the US developed EUV either - but they get to dictate to a second country who can and can't buy their products?
China are more successful because they're nice. America should try it some time :P

China will achieve technological parity, primarily because there is an army of engineers graduating from Chinese universities every year!

@@honzo1078 so true!
@@honzo1078 Only ASML has EUV machines, many companies and countries tried and failed. ASML invested more than €6 billion in EUV R&D over 17 years. They spent 20 years developing EUV with our partners and suppliers, resulting in a machine that contains around 100,000 parts. By the time China gets there on its own, the technology will be outdated or completely obsolete. This is likely why no one else is designing their own EUV machine. China has too because they cant buy EUV machines from ASML.
Nobody says There are plenty of Western scientists in Huawei.❤
I really appreciate the work you put into these videos. It's very valuable. Looking forward to seeing you reach a million subscribers!
very nice video! I read many articals but first time find someone exlain principle clearly on social media
Your voice really brings attention to the subject. Excellent presentation!
Actually China come out with something entirely different it's not exactly a DUV they are using, they are using a much larger scale of light sources something similar to EUV but not as compact as the ASML photography machine however would the result they produced here is quite impressive.
BS.
With the silicon chip density nears physical limit, break thrus at the bleeding edge is going to take even more time and money. For the Chinese, playing catchup and innovating with well studied and established technological know how, it is potentially much faster than those operating at the frontiers of technology. Hence the gap between China vs TSMC, Samsung will probably narrow even faster despite all the sanctions.
In spite of facing the bleeding edge ,Chinese can still develop faster than other coutries because of not only the technology but also the political regulation ,
the chinese works one day the job they do is worth 3 days working for USA and EU workers ,the working efficiency is quite different , most westerns still did not notice about this
@EventH I didn't realize "only the whites can invent and only the whites can succeed" or "Chinese only copy, and Chinese are incapable to invent" can be expressed in that many forms by the White racist bigots.

It's not a question of how far you can go. You have to carve your own path. It's as if you were a car manufacturer and suddenly one day your tire supplier stopped supplying you with tires under duress from your enemy. You have no choice but to develop and produce your own tires. Knowledge cannot be blocked. The greater the market demand, the more resources will be invested in research, because this is a blank market and the most valuable venture capital project. Profit is the biggest driving force for the development of human science and technology.
ASML in the Netherlands has a monopole in super short UV processing.
China is 10 years behing, the gap is growing and nobody talks about the yield.
no, Huawei has its own technologies (improved FinFET and EDA tools), may be 1-2 year behind
Thank you for covering this!
Excellent explanation of the state of art as well as the semiconductor mfg process. Easy to understand. Keep it up.
The question for the Chinese, is how to achieve 6 sigma production for 5nm with DUV machines at high volume. I think the Chinese can achieve such manufacturing quality & quantity given time.
Other questions are, can the Chinese think out of the box & leap frog the EUV process with some our process, such as improving semiconductor packaging, stacking more layers to the IC substrate which can be done with thier current equipments.
Or will they be able to reverse engineer EUV. I think the key to the EUV is the reflections of mirrors & transmition of EUV through highly sophisticated lens & mirrors. My observations is that to manufacture the EUV machine it need the whole supply chain of supporting eco-systems of suppliers, which is difficult to bulit.
Brilliant explanation! Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I like the unbiased way that you used to develop the idea which seems close to the fact.
Your channel is good and informative, it would be good if you put what you say in Latin audio and that will make it reach more to that community as well.
There are many speculations and detractors about how SMIC and Huawei have achieved the new chip. We really don't know for sure. Also, western commentators need to know that TSMC engineers now working with SMIC are Chinese people. They were not forced to go work for SMIC. What the China through these companies have achieved cannot be gainsaid. Whether it's 7nm or not, the performance of the Kirin is good enough to match the Snapdragon. That's saying a lot.
Superb video. Thank you and congratulations!
It's always good to hear from an expert
Your breakdown is incredible!
Hi Anatasi, maybe you shall talk more about the functionality on how the machine make chips? I always read about the lithography machine, but i dont know how it functions.
I came across your site by accident. Thank you for breaking down the pieces to something understandable for a layman, like me. I am always interested, but when it comes to technology it blurs out in my mind. Its like lawyers or doctors who debate and write in jargons unfit for normal consumption. ....so that they can charge more. This is the feeling I get about technology. This is the most productive 15 mins I spent on listening to technology blablabla which are comprehensible words and sentences constructed at common sense level. . Many thanks. I will be back.

The original TSMC N7 is DUV only too. They implemented EUV in its enhanced versions later like N7+ and N6. Products on that DUV only 7nm were priced pretty reasonably. It's the later EUV ones that they hiked the prices on contrary to your analysis.
That's true, price per transistor has gone up for the first time in history. Modern eUV nodes are just so insane. It is by far the most complex and greatest technological achievement that humanity has achieved.
Thank you for the in depth video!
Wait til they build their own euv machine. Definitely won't be surprised if they do.
They also might try next gen litography approach, if they manage to achieve that, they'll definitely become industry leaders.
Sometimes, not able to access current advance tech is quite a blessing cause you just need to skip to next gen. Much like developing countries that don't upgrade their coppers and simply skipped to fibers, now have much more internet bandwidth and speed than developed countries that did.
我用的是华为 Mate 40 pro 已经两年半了,手机性能和电池都毫无任何问题,仍然丝滑。
Given that the lower physical limit of chip is 2 nm, which sets the maximum barrier for electron tunneling, ASML is approaching the borderline imposed by Physics Law. This gives more advantage to the pursuer (like Huawei) over the pioneer/inventor (like ASML).
smaller doesn't mean better. Military and heavy industry uses much larger chips which are more reliable

0.002 nm
@@CesarMaidana-g7m A silicon atom is 0.132 nm across. So how can it be 0.002nm? Moreover, thats just the atom itself, including the crystalline structure thats even larger.
It looks like SMIC made big improvements in the precision of wafer alignment between pattern exposures. This not only enables them to cs 5nm, it can be used all the way up the chain to 20 nm, or anywhere mp is used, to reduce variation and increase yield. TSMC and Samsung do not have this alignment technology, because they had EUV instead. But they are doing mp too, and reportedly only managing 55% yield at 3nm, and with only small improvements in PPA. Because alignment is even more critical at 3nm. It looks like SMIC has the upper hand: state of the art chips and low cost.
