Citi reports that Huawei's 'Tao's Law' introduces a new chip design philosophy focusing on reducing latency rather than geometric scaling. This innovation, exemplified by the Kirin 2026 chip's 55% increase in transistor density, signals a shift in chip design. Citi anticipates that advanced packaging equipment suppliers, particularly hybrid bonding machine providers, will benefit significantly from this trend, despite challenges in 3D designs and existing geometric scaling constraints.
