Perhaps it was this? notebookcheck.net There might be something of truth in this, in the sense that HiSilicon might be designing a 3nm chip because they are currently locked out of all chips, and will mostly miss the 5nm generation (they stockpiled 5nm Kirin-9Ks until mid-Sept when they were frozen out of TSMC). So given they have nothing else to do, why not try to leapfrog the others and have a 3nm ready to go when TSMC starts risk production. The problem is this is predicated on Biden lifting Trump's ban. I would think that it would be very difficult to claim a smartphone SoC is a national security threat, so that blocking China from making them is actually an economic attack, not a security issue. TWT what happens. But its certainly not a near term issue, and it would be fabbed at TSMC, or possibly Samsung.
