Fwiw Boeing is using lots of foreign parts too

That's because the discussions around what he was saying got so overly toxic at the time of October sanctions. I have found that he has certain commentaries based on unknown sources that we don't have access to.
For example, he got interviewed here and it seems like we should expect additional Huawei like restrictions on baidu, Alibaba and tencent. This shouldn't surprise everyone here. Any major successful Chinese tech companies are likely to face certain restrictions.
He likely got wind of this from people in DC.
Irrelevant to my point
Given that those companies have lots of American investors and customers, I'd imagine that would p*ss off a lot of people here.
Oh well
The best way to build Chinese semiconductor industry is to give the customers no choice but to do so. A fab doesn't want to take risks on domestic equipment because of cost? Alibaba or something can just pay them to do so and give them a guaranteed order of X SoCs.
List them.

But perhaps include free accommodation (dorm) and also free meals (?) .. so if you think about it, not really that small. If it is the case, it means that the salary is basically can be saved near 100% ... try doing it in any city in the US or EU
Supposedly an interview with Chiplet expert from Huawei. Not sure about its authenticity.
Talk about using domestic vs foreign EDA. You can stack 14nm to get 7nm chip performance. Empyrean's EDA is still getting trialed. Sounds like SMIC is the manufacturer here and they are still using foreign EDA.
In terms of which type of chiplets/stacking to design firm, it says big data center and cloud CPUs first -> smartphone later. Since heat and space requirements for server CPUs aren't as strict as smartphones.
Does not rule out using chipsets for base station, but currently they don't need 14nm chips.

Good interview. He talks about new packaging techniques for chiplet, what companies care about Huawei and which ones don't.
This seems to be counter to what I typically hear in this thread. Most people seem to be very optimistic, but I don't share that optimism. Though, to be fair, Chinese progress is a lot further along than what most Westerners think it is.
Are we really going to see a mass production immersion lithography machine in 2024-2025 from SMEE?
