He Tingbo, president of Huawei’s semiconductor division, unveiled a new “Tau scaling law” that aims to keep chip performance rising by shortening signal‑travel time through vertical LogicFolding rather than shrinking transistors, a move prompted by the limits of Moore’s Law and U.S. sanctions that cut Huawei off from external chip‑making equipment. After six years of development and 381 chips already mass‑produced, the upcoming Kirin 2026 could be the world’s first processor using this technology, prompting both optimism—analysts see it as a coherent post‑Moore framework—and caution over heat, yield and cost challenges.
