Social media reports claim Huawei builds a new computer chip to compete with NVIDIA. The Chinese company wants their Ascend 910D chip to beat NVIDIA's H100 processor. Huawei plans to connect four smaller chip pieces together to make one powerful processor. The company has access to around two million individual chip parts. American trade restrictions make it hard for Huawei to buy the newest manufacturing equipment.
Huawei already makes the Ascend 910C processor using two chip pieces. The new 910D version would use four pieces instead of two. Chinese social media says this new chip might work better than NVIDIA's H100. NVIDIA launched the H100 back during 2022. American rules stop NVIDIA from selling their best chips to China.
The company might start shipping the new 910D chip sometime between this quarter and early 2026. Huawei could make around 400,000 of these chips if they use 1.5 million chip pieces. China's SMIC factory might build these processors for Huawei. The company also works on the Ascend 920 chip that should arrive around 2027.
