Chinese giant Huawei has just crossed a strategic course in the AI global battle. Indeed, the firm is currently testing its new Ascend 910D chip. It is designed to outdo the famous Nvidia H100. An advance heavy with consequences, against the backdrop of American sanctions reinforced against China!
In short
- Huawei is testing its ia ascend 910D chip to compete with NVIDIA and bypass American sanctions.
- China strengthens its technological autonomy in AI in the face of export restrictions imposed by the United States.
Huawei muscle his game with Ascend 910D to dominate the AI market
According to the Wall Street Journal, the First samples of the IA Ascend chip 910D will be delivered to Chinese companies at the end of May. If the tests prove to be conclusive, Huawei could offer a national alternative to American cutting edges developed by Nvidia. It would be a crucial lever for Beijing's technological autonomy.
In this frantic race to dominate the AI marketthe Chinese government does not hide its ambitions. During a Politburo session, the President of the People's Republic of China Xinping said:
It is essential to strengthen technological innovation and build an independent system in terms of AI.
Meanwhile, Nvidia already accuses the blow. The group predicts a charge of $ 5.5 billion linked to American export restrictions. This favorable context Huawei pushes to multiply initiativesin particular via its CloudMatrix 384 infrastructure. This is an optimized system for intensive calculation which links several IA Ascend chips. Its main function is to maximize treatment power.
An IA offensive that upsets the global balance
There Huawei rise in AI is not limited to fleas. The company also ships more than 800,000 units of its former models ascend 910b and 910c. What to consolidate your network with telecom operators and IA application developers like Bytedance!
At the same time, Washington continues to build its arsenal. In addition to banning the sale of H100 fleas in China in 2022, the United States recently added Nvidia's H20 chip to its black list. Result: immense pressure on the global supply chain of advanced technology.
With Ascend 910D, Huawei is therefore no longer content to catch up. It redraws the rules of the game. Between digital sovereignty and economic war, the Battle for AI promises to be total.
In any case, the launch of Ascend 910D could mark a major turning point for the Chinese IA infrastructure. At a time when geopolitical tensions are increasing, artificial intelligence becomes a weapon of influence as strategic as it is military!
