Huawei reveals its own replacement for Moore’s Law as it aims straight at 1.4nm chips
Huawei has introduced a new semiconductor principle called Tau Scaling Law, aimed at guiding future chip development. This approach is intended to push the boundaries of transistor density beyond the limits of Moore's Law. While Huawei claims potential advancements, it has yet to provide independent performance data to support these assertions.
- ▪Huawei unveiled its Tau Scaling Law at the 2026 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems in Shanghai.
- ▪The company aims to achieve transistor density equivalent to 1.4nm by 2031.
- ▪Currently, China's most advanced chipmaking capability is around 7nm.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Huawei has revealed what it sees as a new path forward for advanced chips. At the 2026 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems in Shanghai, Huawei’s He Tingbo introduced the company’s Tau Scaling Law, a new semiconductor principle that Huawei says can guide chip development as traditional Moore’s Law runs into physical and economic limits. The company says future high-end chips designed under this approach could reach transistor density equivalent to 14 angstroms, or 1.4nm, by 2031. How Huawei is changing the chip game Huawei’s He Tingbo during the company’s keynote at IEEE Huawei 1.4nm sounds pretty impressive, but the keyword here is equivalent.
