US Analysis Firm: "Huawei Phones Have Used Hynix Chips Since 2021"…Hynix "Investigating Circumstances"
Confirmed Use of Chips Produced After 2021
SK Hynix "No Transactions After Sanctions"
Chinese tech giant Huawei, which is subject to U.S. export restrictions, is reported to have used SK Hynix semiconductor chips produced after 2021 in its new smartphones.
According to Bloomberg on the 14th (local time), semiconductor consulting firm TechInsights announced that after disassembling several Huawei smartphones, it confirmed the use of Hynix semiconductor chips produced at least after 2021.
TechInsights stated that SK Hynix semiconductor chips were used in the new smartphones 'Mate 60 Pro,' 'Mate X3,' and 'P60 Pro,' which was released earlier this year. Among these, the 'Mate 60 Pro' attracted attention for incorporating semiconductors manufactured using a 7-nanometer process despite U.S. sanctions.
Earlier, when analysis suggested that SK Hynix memory semiconductors were used in the 'Mate 60 Pro,' SK Hynix stated, "We have not conducted any transactions with Huawei since the U.S. sanctions against China."
