In a rare interview, Huawei chip scientist Liao Heng warns Western chip companies will eventually face physical chip limits and talks Huawei's Tau Scaling Law (Bloomberg)
↗
Huawei's top semiconductor scientist Liao Heng gave a rare interview warning that Western chipmakers will hit physical limits and presented Huawei's alternative framework called Tau Scaling Law.
If Huawei has identified a viable path past the scaling walls that Western fabs are approaching, it could shift competitive positioning in advanced chipmaking. The claim also signals that Huawei's semiconductor R&D remains active despite sanctions, which affects supply chain assumptions for anyone building hardware dependent on cutting-edge fabrication.
