On June 20, ZTE said on the interactive platform that the company has the ability of chip design and development, with 7Nm chip scale mass production, and has realized commercial use in the global 5g scale deployment, and 5nm chip is being imported. However, many media misread this, and now ZTE has made clarification.

ZTE said that it noted that in recent years, a number of self media have targeted at the mass production of ZTE's 7Nm chips, the information that 5nm chips began to import has been misread, some reports are inconsistent with the facts, which has caused trouble and impact on the normal operation of the company. In the field of chip design, ZTE focuses on the design of communication chip and does not have the ability of chip production and manufacturing.

ZTE said that it has more than 20 years of experience in the design of special communication chips, and has the ability of whole process customization design from chip system architecture to back-end physical implementation. In terms of chip production and manufacturing, the company relies on global partners for division of production.

ZTE has also become the second company in China to design 5nm chips independently after Huawei. There is no denying that many companies now have the ability of chip design, but the manufacturing of advanced chips is still in the hands of a few companies such as TSMC and Samsung. The U.S. is basically in a monopoly position for processes below 10nm, which is why Huawei's chip manufacturing is "stuck" by the U.S.

It is worth mentioning that ZTE held its 2019 shareholders' meeting yesterday. Xu Ziyang, executive director and President of ZTE, said that facing the future technology layout, ZTE has begun to conduct 6G research. If 5g is the interconnection of all things, 6G is the combination of "wisdom" and "wisdom", including land, sea, and space. If you can think of it, you can connect. He said the 6G business model may not come out until 2030.

In addition, he said, "the terminal strategy is an integral part of ZTE. Although we have gone through some detours, we believe that in terms of the end, especially the 5g and 6G end, it will be the value in the future." With the rapid development of 5g technology and application in the world and China, large-scale deployment of 5g construction has brought new opportunities to terminals, both in technology and market space. This is the reason ZTE has adjusted its terminal business.

Recently, ZTE carried out personnel adjustment and appointed Ni Fei as general manager of ZTE terminal business department to take full charge of ZTE terminal business. Ni Fei is also president of Nubia.
