**SemiAnalysis STEEL Lab’s June 15 teardown report on the Huawei Mate 80 Pro (powered by the Kirin 9030 Pro) confirms the chip uses SMIC’s N+3 process node, which has a 32.5nm minimum metal pitch—roughly 10% tighter than Intel’s 18A node (36nm).** Via aggressive DUV multi-patterning and DTCO optimizations, SMIC’s N+3 achieves a logic density of ~113.4 MTr/mm2, slightly higher than TSMC’s N6 (107.7 MTr/mm2). But this performance comes with major tradeoffs: far higher process complexity, increased production costs, and steeper yield control challenges. The Kirin 9030 Pro is an evolution of the Kirin 9020, with a similar die size but better component utilization. Key improvements include adding one extra big CPU core, boosting GPU compute units (CUs) from 4 to 6, expanding the NPU’s Tiny core, and growing cache capacity. Notably, core areas shrank dramatically: the big core is down 22%, and GPU CUs are cut by 28%. This drove significant performance gains over the prior generation—GPU 3D

**June 15 Update**: Anthropic, the AI startup behind the Claude chatbot, has notified users of a privacy policy overhaul, with a new Terms of Service set to go into effect on July 8, 2026. The changes signal a major shift: mandatory real-name registration and facial identity verification, plus a lower bar for sharing user data with law enforcement—effectively closing the book on anonymity for large-scale AI model services. **Identity Verification Rules**: For individual Claude users (Free, Pro, and Max tiers), identity checks will be required in cases of suspected account abuse, policy violations, or reports of minor-related activity. The process uses third-party compliance provider Persona, where users must upload government-issued ID and complete a live selfie for biometric matching. Anthropic confirms this biometric and ID data won’t be stored on its own servers, nor used for model training or marketing purposes. **Data Sharing Adjustments**: The new policy loosens data disclosure
