Huawei Unveils Tao's Law V2: Kirin 2026 Boosts AI Inference 40% on Same Node
Huawei's He Tingbo releases Tao's Law V2, detailing Kirin 2026 metrics: 238 MTr/mm² transistor density (+55%), 41% power reduction at iso-performance, and 40% SRAM frequency increase. Without EUV lithography, co-optimization of architecture, circuit, and process delivers equivalent performance gains, proving system-level optimization as a viable alternative to Moore's Law scaling.
Huawei's Tao Law: LogicFolding Bypasses Lithography, 55% Density Gain on Fixed Node
At ISCAS 2026, Huawei's He Tingbo unveiled the Tao Law, replacing geometric scaling with temporal optimization targeting tau (characteristic time). LogicFolding vertically stacks active layers to shorten critical paths, achieving 55% transistor density increase and 41% energy efficiency gain on a fixed node. Kirin 2026 reaches 3.1GHz; Ascend series will adopt LogicFolding. The roadmap projects equivalent 1.4nm density by 2031, fundamentally challenging Moore's Law's lithography dependency.
