Qualcomm has agreed to license patents covering Huawei's LogicFolding chip technology, according to a Bloomberg report. The deal means the US chipmaker will pay to use chip architecture developed by its Chinese rival, an unusual turn given the ongoing US-China tech rivalry and export restrictions that have kept the two companies largely at odds. The agreement highlights how deeply Huawei's semiconductor research has penetrated the industry.
Why now: A major American chip firm licensing technology from a sanctioned Chinese rival is a surprising reversal in the semiconductor standoff
