IFA Four major companies design the key chips for smartphones, and Huawei's HiSilicon became the first to announce its 7nm designs today at the giant IFA show in Berlin.

The HiSilicon Kirin 980 series is the first to disclose details of chips based on the new production techniques – although you can expect Apple to follow in a few days. Huawei's Benjamin Wang said it was the result of three years work, and crams 6.9 billion transistors onto the die.
