The US Commerce Department is reportedly drafting regulations that would restrict remote access to Nvidia GPUs in data centers located in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Japan. This move shifts the export-control regime from focusing on hardware to targeting access. In response, DeepSeek has reportedly placed an order for 160,000 Huawei Ascend 950DT processors for a gigawatt-scale data center in Inner Mongolia.
This data center is intended for inference purposes, rather than training. Recent reports indicate that the price of Huawei's Ascend 950PR has increased from around 60,000 to over 80,000 yuan, while the 910C has risen from approximately 90,000 to over 110,000 yuan, indicating a tightening supply situation.
