Huawei Expands Tau Chip Roll-out as Mate XT 2 Targets 1 Million Sales

Huawei Technologies is accelerating the deployment of a new class of advanced processor built on its in-house Tau Scaling Law, and the company intends to equip the newly released Mate 90 smartphone series with these chips. The move represents a further advance in the Chinese technology firm's effort to sidestep strict US export restrictions, a strategy that has led Huawei to rebuild its smartphone operations around domestically developed components. The Mate XT 2 handset is the first device to incorporate mobile processors that use the LogicFolding architecture, which is derived from Huawei's Tau Scaling Law chip design principle. According to Yu, the phone is expected to exceed 1 million units in total sales, and Huawei plans to introduce it in markets across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and potentially Europe. The Mate 90 series will also carry the self-developed advanced chips as Huawei widens the reach of its Tau-based technology.
