CNBC News reports on July 11 that Huawei is attempting to break into the AI chip market dominated by NVIDIA with a strategic push to export its self-developed chips to the Middle East and Southeast Asia, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Insiders reveal that Huawei has recently engaged with potential clients in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Thailand to market its Ascend 910B AI chip. This move signals Huawei’s ambition to carve out a share in the high-growth global AI semiconductor arena.
To lure customers, Huawei is also promoting its proprietary “super AI server” CloudMatrix 384, which leverages the advanced Ascend 910C chips. As a showcase of its capabilities, Huawei Cloud demonstrated the CloudMatrix 384’s computational power in a recent video, highlighting:
384 Ascend NPUs and 192 Kunpeng GPUs interconnected to form a unified system.
Industry-leading single-card inference throughput: 2,300 tokens per second.
Unmatched cluster computing scale: 160,000 cards with 95% linear scalability.
Cloud-based resilience: 40-day stable training and 10-minute recovery times.
Huawei Cloud emphasizes that its latest Ascend AI cloud services represent the optimal computing solution for large-scale AI model deployments, marrying performance with efficiency. However, supply constraints mean Huawei has no immediate plans to export the Ascend 910C chips overseas, as it prioritizes allocation to Chinese enterprises seeking alternatives to U.S.-restricted advanced chips.
