Tau Scaling Law to rewrite rules for chip performance growth

Huawei has introduced the 'Tau Scaling Law,' focusing on improving transmission speeds between system components to drive chip performance growth as transistor miniaturization reaches physical limits, aiming to unveil a new smartphone chip using this technology. This represents a shift from hardware miniaturization to system-level optimisation, creating a replicable ecosystem spanning semiconductor design to AI integration despite restrictions on advanced lithography equipment.
