Huawei set to unveil AI chip in China, challenging Nvidia

Huawei Technologies is gearing up to release a new artificial intelligence (AI) chip, positioning itself as a competitor to NVIDIA in the Chinese market, reports The Wall Street Journal.

Called the Ascend 910C, the chip is currently undergoing tests by Chinese internet and telecom companies.

This move comes as a direct challenge to Nvidia’s dominance in China, especially in light of recent US sanctions that have restricted Nvidia from selling its advanced chips, including the H100, to Chinese customers.
