Huawei is preparing new AI chips for China to compete with NVIDIA

Huawei plans to start mass-producing its new 910C AI chips for Chinese customers next month, with some shipments already underway, Reuters reports.

The Chinese company is trying to create its own alternative to NVIDIA's H20 chips, which the American company was previously able to sell to China. The administration of US President Donald Trump previously imposed a ban on the supply of H20 chips to China.

Huawei's 910C is more of an architectural evolution than a technological breakthrough. These chips can offer performance on par with NVIDIA's H100 by combining two 910B processors into one using advanced integration techniques. This will give the chips twice the processing power and memory capacity of the 910B.

With this new product, Huawei will try to win back a part of the market dominated by NVIDIA. The main factors for this are the ban on the export of the most productive chips of the American company B200 and H100. The US banned the supply of the latter chip to China even before its release.

We remind you that earlier Huawei also introduced the Ascend 920 chip, which should also become an alternative to the H20, which was banned from export to China.
