Recent teardown analysis by SemiAnalysis of Huawei's Kirin 9030 chip revealed that SMIC's third-generation 7nm process (N+3) achieves a smaller metal pitch than Intel's 18A and surpasses TSMC's N6 in transistor density, despite not using EUV lithography. However, this does not make SMIC's N+3 proces
