Huawei's Tau Law Redefines Chip Scaling: Logic Folding as the Post-Dennard Path to 1.4nm
Huawei has proposed a new semiconductor scaling framework called the Tau Law, which focuses on temporal minimization through logic folding. This approach aims to achieve transistor densities equivalent to 1.4nm by the year 2031. The framework was introduced by Huawei Board Director He Tingbo at the 2026 ISCAS conference in Shanghai. AI
