Huawei Begins Testing Ascend 910C AI Chips to Compete with Nvidia in China

The new chips are being sampled by major Chinese tech firms as US trade restrictions limit Nvidia's market access.

Huawei has started sampling its next-generation Ascend 910C AI chips with large Chinese server and internet companies.
The Ascend 910C is an upgraded version of the 910B and is aimed at providing an alternative to Nvidia's high-end GPUs.
US trade restrictions have prevented Nvidia from shipping its most advanced GPUs to China, creating an opportunity for Huawei.
Huawei's new chips are expected to launch in October and could generate significant revenue, potentially rivaling Nvidia's sales in China.
The adoption of Huawei's AI chips may also encourage Chinese companies to integrate more of Huawei's hardware and software solutions.
