In a riveting development, bitcoin mining orders appear to have spurred Huawei's Kirin chip evolution. The Miner Mag, a prominent blog by Blocksbridge Consulting, sheds light on this potential influence. This turn of events seemingly paves the way for a significant reduction in <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/immersion-cooling-transforms-chinas-crypto-mining-landscape/">China</a>'s reliance on Western tech innovations, according to <a href="https://news.bitcoin.com/report-huaweis-kirin-chip-may-have-been-accelerated-by-bitcoin-mining-orders/">bitcoin.com</a>. 
Initially, Huawei grappled with hurdles in accessing superior chip <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/bitcoin-miners-set-for-a-tough-ride-as-2024-halving-nears-jp-morgan/">production</a>, particularly after landing on a <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/senator-lummis-pushes-for-crypto-regulation-amid-sec-lawsuits/">U.S.</a> trade blacklist in 2019. Consequently, their partnership with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) ended. This prompted Huawei to forge ties with <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/immersion-cooling-transforms-chinas-crypto-mining-landscape/">China</a>'s Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC) for their Kirin chip <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/bitcoin-miners-set-for-a-tough-ride-as-2024-halving-nears-jp-morgan/">production</a>. However, SMIC struggled to develop advanced 7nm chips initially. 
Interestingly, the situation saw a shift when companies such as <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/canaan-s-revenue-drops-by-72/">Canaan</a> initiated chip designs utilizing SMIC's first-generation 7nm N+1 process. Starting in late 2020, this collaboration significantly aided SMIC in enhancing its production capabilities. Furthermore, companies like Innosilicon and Miner-VA joined in, leveraging SMIC’s N+1 process, a move that amplified production efficiency markedly. In this context, <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/canaan-s-revenue-drops-by-72/">Canaan</a>'s substantial orders propelled the yield rate of N+1 chips to soar above 90%. 
Indeed, the substantial orders from <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/russias-bitcoin-gold-rush-mining-machine-influx-outpaces-rest-of-the-world/">bitcoin miners</a> served as a critical element in refining SMIC's 7nm production skills. Consequently, this development seemingly accelerated Huawei's Kirin chip production using the improved N+2 process. Hence, this partnership might have set the stage for Huawei’s rapid progression in its Kirin chip development. 
Notably, this collaboration not only fostered Huawei's advancement but also hinted at a broader shift in China’s technological landscape. It highlights the pivotal role <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/russias-bitcoin-gold-rush-mining-machine-influx-outpaces-rest-of-the-world/">bitcoin miners</a> played as early adopters and regular customers of SMIC’s evolving 7nm production technology. Clearly, their involvement was instrumental in troubleshooting issues and enhancing yields. 
In conclusion, this collaboration illustrates a significant milestone in Huawei's journey, potentially ushering in an era of technological independence for China. The findings from Miner Mag underscore the considerable implications of SMIC’s 7nm advancements in lessening China's dependence on Western chip technologies. This unfolding scenario paints a promising picture of symbiotic growth and innovation, positioning China as a burgeoning powerhouse in the global tech arena.
