[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0lmX91Cy7wl5/en/huawei-s-tau-scaling-a-claimed-alternative-to-moore-s-law?t=4) At ESCOS 2026, Huawei dropped a bomb on the global chip industry, a new physics law called Tau Scaling.

[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0lmX91Cy7wl5/en/huawei-s-tau-scaling-a-claimed-alternative-to-moore-s-law?t=12) Here's the genius part. For 60 years, chipmakers shrunk transistors flat.

[0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0lmX91Cy7wl5/en/huawei-s-tau-scaling-a-claimed-alternative-to-moore-s-law?t=18) At 3nm, quantum tunneling kills the game.

[0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0lmX91Cy7wl5/en/huawei-s-tau-scaling-a-claimed-alternative-to-moore-s-law?t=22) Even Apple and NVIDIA hit a wall. Huawei's answer? Don't shrink, fold.

[0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0lmX91Cy7wl5/en/huawei-s-tau-scaling-a-claimed-alternative-to-moore-s-law?t=28) Stacked transistors vertically. Crash signal distance by 90 Make geometry irrelevant. Make time new metric.

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0lmX91Cy7wl5/en/huawei-s-tau-scaling-a-claimed-alternative-to-moore-s-law?t=38) Receipts, 381 chips already shipped in 6 years.

[0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0lmX91Cy7wl5/en/huawei-s-tau-scaling-a-claimed-alternative-to-moore-s-law?t=43) Current density, 2nm equivalent.

[0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0lmX91Cy7wl5/en/huawei-s-tau-scaling-a-claimed-alternative-to-moore-s-law?t=47) 2031 target, 1 4nm, 5 to 10 years ahead of best.

[0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0lmX91Cy7wl5/en/huawei-s-tau-scaling-a-claimed-alternative-to-moore-s-law?t=53) 20 billion saved per fab. No EUV machines required.

[1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0lmX91Cy7wl5/en/huawei-s-tau-scaling-a-claimed-alternative-to-moore-s-law?t=60) Translation, every US section, every Dutch EUV ban, every chip war headline, just became the absolute.

[1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0lmX91Cy7wl5/en/huawei-s-tau-scaling-a-claimed-alternative-to-moore-s-law?t=68) They blocked the road, China built a highway.
