How Huawei Discovered a Hidden Loophole in Moore’s Law

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
Huawei unveiled “logic folding,” a chip design that stacks layers vertically with Through-Silicon Vias instead of relying only on smaller transistors.
The company says the approach can raise transistor density by 53% and improve energy efficiency by 41%.
If it works at scale, it could help push AI and high-performance computing chips beyond some of Moore’s Law’s limits.
Key hurdles remain, especially heat dissipation, alignment, and manufacturing complexity.
