Huawei MATE 40 Pro is the next important "jewel" that the Huawei company will launch for customers all over the world, but unfortunately, just before it appears, there is some extremely bad news. More precisely, the Huawei MATE 40 Pro would be produced without the Kirin 1020 chip that Huawei is currently preparing, and this is because of a new ban imposed by Donald Trump against the Chinese company last week.

Huawei MATE 40 Pro the new Kirin 1020 chip could not have been produced in TSMC's factories, which until now have been responsible for the production of chips for future Chinese phone models. The ban imposed by Donald Trump forbids those from TSMC to make processor chips for the Huawei MATE 40 Pro, and the main goal of the American presidential administration was to block the production of new important phone models.

Huawei MATE 40 Pro it could have the Kirin 1020 chip produced by SMIC, a new partner found by Huawei right in China to replace TSMC. The problem is that SMIC cannot make this processor with a 5nm manufacturing process, as in the case of TSMC, but only based on a 14nm one, much lower, which cannot offer as good performance, but also high energy efficiency, which what can make it inferior in relation to the future chip A14.

Huawei MATE 40 Pro it cannot be a top phone without a suitable processor, and based on what we see now, it seems that this very important thing will definitely be missing from the phone. It is difficult to say at the moment to what extent the Huawei MATE 40 Pro could have a processor that is truly able to compete with those from Apple, Qualcomm, or even Samsung, but for now there is no evidence to confirm that this it would be possible.

Huawei MATE 40 Pro it could be launched with an inferior processor model, just to reach the market, maybe even last year's, but the final decision remains, of course, with Huawei.
