Huawei Unveils Tau Scaling Law to Challenge Moore's Law

Huawei unveiled its Tau Scaling Law and LogicFolding chip architecture in Shanghai, proposing a new path for semiconductor performance that does not rely solely on miniaturization.

On May 25, Huawei announced a new Tau scaling law at the IEEE International Circuit and System Research Symposium held in Shanghai. This law uses time dimension to replace geometric miniaturization, proposing a new approach for improving chip performance. Huawei simultaneously launched Logic Folding architecture, which optimizes signal transmission paths through multi-layer collaborative optimization, shortening signal transmission distances. This design does not rely on expensive lithography process advancement, but instead achieves efficiency improvement at the system level. Over the past six years, Huawei has designed and mass-produced 381 chip types based on the Tau scaling law. The Kirin chips launching this autumn will be the first to adopt Logic Folding architecture. Industry analysts note that United States sanctions have restricted Huawei's access to advanced EUV lithography machines, and this move may represent a new attempt to work around restrictions.
