NVIDIA chief executive Jensen Huang acknowledged Huawei as a formidable competitor during a media session at APAC 2025, noting the Chinese company's mastery of 5G communications and smartphone manufacturing now extends to artificial intelligence infrastructure development. Huang stated that underestimating Huawei would be foolish despite his firm maintaining a significant lead in AI technology, adding that accelerating competition from China has prompted NVIDIA to increase its own pace of innovation.
Huawei recently unveiled an AI chip roadmap extending through 2027 that includes self-manufactured high-bandwidth memory and next-generation Atlas SuperPoDs featuring 8,192 Ascend 950 processors in single clusters, with performance claims matching specifications anticipated from upcoming Rubin architecture systems. The domestic advancement occurs as American export restrictions continue blocking NVIDIA from the Chinese market, where local cloud service providers increasingly view indigenous alternatives as viable options.
