Künstliche Intelligenz: Huawei will Nvidia mit neuen KI-Chips herausfordern
Das Exportverbot für Hochleistungschips erschwert das Geschäft der chinesischen KI‑Entwickler. Mit einer neuen Chipgeneration will Huawei das Land unabhängiger machen.
In Shanghai and Beijing, Chinese tech giant Huawei aims to challenge Nvidia as the world leader in high-performance AI processors with a new generation of chips. At the "Huawei Connect" conference on Thursday, current CEO Eric Xu announced that only limited exports of current and upcoming models would occur. Xu explained that "due to insufficient capacity to meet the demand in China, we do not plan to fully expand to the international market."
The company unveiled its new AI processors, "Ascend 960DT" and "Ascend 960PR," which are expected to hit the market within the coming year. According to David Wang, who alternates with Xu every six months in leading Huawei, subsequent generations would be released every twelve months.
Huawei's chips are less powerful than Nvidia's competitors, but the company is attempting to compensate for this deficiency through accelerated communication between processors. This technology could allow up to one million chips to function as a single system, according to the Chinese firm's claims.
