Chinese semiconductor giant SMIC has reportedly been manufacturing
7-nanometer chips since last year, the best sign yet that China has
found a way to develop advanced components despite US efforts to curb
the country's homegrown silicon capabilities.
This is based on findings from American semiconductor analyst firm
TechInsights
<https://www.techinsights.com/blog/disruptive-technology-7nm-smic-minerva-bitcoin-miner>,
which recently bought a cryptocurrency-mining ASIC manufactured by SMIC
and found that it uses a 7nm process after doing a study of the chip's
die. The ASIC is designed by a company called MinerVa, which has been
mass producing the chip since July 2021, according to
