Huawei will stop receiving TSMC processors from September due to the US blockade
Finally TSMC will open a new factory in the United States and this is a big problem for Huawei. And it is that although the plant has not yet begun to be built, TSMC already has to start going through the hoop. The Trump Administration prohibits TSMC from making silicon for Huawei because it is using components made in the United States.
Who has revealed it is the Japanese Nikkei, which puts Huawei in serious trouble. According to reports, by mid-September they will no longer receive any more processors made by TSMC. Not only that, they will also not have access to 5nm lithographed silicones for new smartphones, servers and consumer computers.

Huawei against the ropes
The trade war between the United States and China has started to flare up again, after a first trade agreement. The U.S. Department of Commerce released a rule on Friday that bars non-U.S. Chipmakers from using manufacturing equipment, intellectual property or software to make silicon for Huawei. This restriction will have a harsh response from China, which is considering vetoing companies such as Apple, Boeing or Qualcomm.
It should be noted that Huawei is the largest manufacturer of telecommunications systems and the second largest smartphone manufacturer. Much of the chips are manufactured by TSMC, which would pose a big problem for the Chinese company. In addition, Huawei also demands chips for AI and for network systems from TSMC.
This US ban has already been noticed by TSMC, which has lost about 3% in value. The Taiwanese foundry is expected to lose hundreds of millions of dollars from this decision. Curious that after the announcement it was revealed that TSMC will open a plant in the United States.
China is already studying what measures to take and how to block US products. A stupid trade war started by the United States that wants to preserve its technological hegemony, which it already has lost. Sanctions, threats and accusations of espionage, the latter, without providing evidence.
