This is a photo of the architecture of SMIC's 7 nm chip. This is making big headlines in Western tech press.
Especially because U.S. pours more billions in its semiconductor industry than China does and that SMIC is slated to get prohibited from buying ASML's DUV lithography machines. Yet today China's SMIC is at least 2 generations ahead of Intel ๐
Curious timing though, with the CHIPS act up for a vote. Intel, Micron would have us believe SMIC somehow jumped two nodes so they can get $50B in taxpayer money.
"Only whites can engineer stuff, them yaller people just ain't smart enough" was probably the rationale.
