By 2026, smartphone SoCs (System on Chips) are poised to achieve a significant milestone, with clock speeds exceeding 5GHz for the first time. This technological breakthrough is the result of a collaborative effort among industry giants Apple, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and TSMC. However, due to U.S. sanctions, Huawei finds itself unable to join forces with TSMC. Consequently, the clock speed of Huawei's latest Kirin 9030 SoC has not yet crossed the 3GHz threshold. Despite this limitation, Huawei's Kirin chips continue to compete at the highest performance levels, matching the capabilities of top-tier chips and offering a comprehensive range of options across various price points.
