BEIJING, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from China Daily:
On Monday, at the 2026 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) in Shanghai, He Tingbo, President of HUAWEI's Semiconductor Business Department, presented the Tau (τ) Scaling Law, a proposed successor to Moore's Law for guiding semiconductor development.
This law proposes replacing geometric scaling with time (τ) scaling as a new guiding principle for the evolution of both semiconductors and electronic systems. Based on this principle, innovative technologies such as HUAWEI's LogicFolding can be used to continuously compress signal propagation delay and steadily improve transistor density, which will drive the ongoing evolution of semiconductors and electronic systems.
In recent years, Moore's Law – which has guided the semiconductor industry for more than five decades – has faced severe physical limits and diminishing economic returns. The global industry has been increasingly constrained by the slowdown in the geometric scaling of transistors and the erosion of cost-per-transistor benefits.
The industry must now tackle the urgent and recurrent challenge of overcoming the physical constraints of traditional processes and finding a new, sustainable evolution path that can match surging computing demands. This is where the Tau Scaling Law comes into play.
Based on this law, HUAWEI has developed innovative core technologies like LogicFolding and established a multi-level co-optimization mechanism that spans semiconductor devices, circuits, chips and systems. This mechanism aims to systematically shorten the time constant in order to drive up performance, energy efficiency and transistor density at each level in the following ways:
- At the device level: Optimizing the resistance and parasitic capacitance of transistors and interconnects to minimize the device-level time constant at the underlying physical layer
- At the circuit level: Adopting the LogicFolding architecture to break down the physical boundaries of traditional circuit layouts, significantly shortening critical-path wiring, effectively reducing the resistive and capacitive load of signal propagation, and ultimately boosting transistor density and circuit performance
- At the chip level: Employing full-stack coordinated design of software, architecture and silicon to achieve fine-grained, workload-driven control over instruction and data flows, enhancing system-level parallelism and efficiency, and significantly reducing end-to-end execution time
- At the system level: Redefining interconnect protocols for computing systems with UnifiedBus to achieve unified memory addressing and native memory semantics for SuperPoDs, significantly reducing system communications latency
In her keynote speech, He elaborated on HUAWEI's application of the Tau Scaling Law to smartphones and AI computing. Over the past six years, HUAWEI has designed and mass-produced 381 chips based on the Tau Scaling Law, serving a wide range of industries, sectors and markets.
The Kirin chips scheduled to launch in the fall of 2026 will be the first ever to adopt the LogicFolding architecture, which will considerably enhance the chips' performance. By 2031, the high-end chips HUAWEI designs based on the Tau Scaling Law are expected to feature a transistor density that is equivalent to 14-angstrom (1.4 nm) processes.
Looking ahead, He noted, "We believe that openness and collaboration are key to driving ongoing progress in the semiconductor industry. No single company can independently find all the answers along the path of semiconductor evolution. With the Tau Scaling Law, we look forward to working closely with scientists, engineers and industry partners around the world to drive the sustainable development of the semiconductor and electronics industries."

HUAWEI Presents the Tau Scaling Law, Enabling Breakthroughs in Transistor Density and System Performance
TAIPEI, May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- VIVOTEK has successfully deployed a hybrid cloud surveillance solution at Kongens Ege in Denmark, enhancing operational efficiency, remote system management, and long-term scalability across the mixed-use development. Delivered in collaboration with ITV Security and FA-EL, the integrated solution combines on premises reliability with VORTEX cloud capabilities, enabling centralized monitoring, proactive maintenance, and simplified management for modern smart building environments.
Background
The former Scandic Kongens Ege hotel in Randers, Denmark, is a long-standing local landmark known for its elevated location and panoramic views over the city. After closing in 2013, the site underwent a major property redevelopment, transforming the former hotel into a modern mixed-use property with residential accommodation, hospitality areas, and shared facilities.
To secure this complex environment, the developer required more than traditional video surveillance. As a leading global security solution provider, VIVOTEK, in collaboration with long-term Danish partner ITV Security and system integrator FA-EL, delivered a cloud-enabled hybrid solution powered by VORTEX Connect to support operational efficiency, remote management, and long-term scalability.
The Challenge
Unlike a traditional single-use property, the mixed-use nature of Kongens Ege site required a sophisticated approach to address operational complexities:
- Comprehensive Coverage: Reliable 24/7 surveillance across residential, public, and shared areas.
- Automated Access: Vehicle access automation for controlled parking.
- Simplified Management: Centralized system management without increasing on-site IT complexity.
- Cloud Readiness: A future-proof architecture ready for multi-site operations and remote maintenance.
The Solution
VIVOTEK deployed a hybrid cloud surveillance solution designed to combine on-premises reliability with cloud-based intelligence. Designed and commissioned by FA-EL with technical support from ITV Security, the system leverages VORTEX Connect integrated into VIVOTEK ND-series NVRs. This creates a unified platform that seamlessly bridges local infrastructure with cloud operations.
Key System Components
- IT9399-HTVW 4K high-resolution cameras deployed throughout the site, ensuring clear forensic detail across indoor and outdoor areas.
- IB9387-LPR-V3 ANPR cameras integrated with the car park gate to enable automatic vehicle access.
- ND9442P recorders with embedded VORTEX Connect, eliminating the need for a separate CMS server.
- VAST Security Station used as the local CMS, while VORTEX enables cloud-level visibility, control, and service continuity.
Why VORTEX Connect Makes the Difference
VORTEX Connect transforms the surveillance system from reactive monitoring to a proactive, service-driven solution:
- Centralized Cloud Management: All cameras and NVRs can be monitored and managed remotely from a single interface, reducing on-site intervention and IT dependency.
- Simplified Onboarding & Higher Reliability: The cloud agent is embedded directly into the ND NVR, reducing system complexity, hardware requirements, and potential failure points.
- Remote System Control: Operators can reboot NVRs, manage alarms, configure cameras, and power-cycle PoE ports remotely, without physical access.
- Automated Failure Alerts: Email notifications instantly alert operators if a device goes offline or encounters issues, enabling faster response and proactive maintenance.
- Secure Cloud Protection: Support for Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) strengthens cybersecurity and simplifies access control.
Result and Customer Feedback
The Kongens Ege redevelopment proves how VIVOTEK's VORTEX Connect transforms complex properties into efficiently managed, future-ready sites. By bridging on-premises reliability with cloud intelligence, this solution delivers a scalable infrastructure that meets today's operational needs while enabling future smart building and AI integrations.
Key Outcomes
- Hybrid Cloud Flexibility: A smooth and seamless transition toward cloud adoption
- Cost Efficiency: Reduced operational costs with no dedicated CMS server required
- Proactive Management: Faster troubleshooting and response times, even off-site
