The end of Moore's Law? Huawei unveils new chip architecture, which it hopes can help it cut the gap on Nvidia and TSMC

Huawei's He Tingbo delivering a keynote speech titled "New Semiconductor Path in Practice" at the 2026 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS).

• Huawei proposes Tau Scaling Law as an alternative to slowing Moore’s Law
• LogicFolding architecture reduces signal delay through vertically stacked semiconductor circuit designs
• Traditional transistor shrinking faces growing physical and economic limitations across the semiconductor industry

For more than five decades, the semiconductor industry has relied on a simple and powerful prediction, Moore’s Law, which states that transistors on a chip double roughly every two years, has now hit serious physical and economic walls.
