Huawei Ascend Chips Drive World’s Most Powerful Cluster
At Huawei Connect 2025, Huawei revealed its Ascend chip roadmap, including the 950, 960, and 970 series for AI and HPC, challenging NVIDIA’s dominance. Despite semiconductor manufacturing challenges, Huawei focuses on domestic design, proprietary tech, and open-source strategies. New Ascend chips promise performance leaps with enhanced interconnects. Huawei’s SuperPoD and SuperCluster strategy, powered by UnifiedBus 2.0 (an open protocol), aims to provide scalable, high-performance computing, expanding into general-purpose computing with Kunpeng 950 processors and TaiShan SuperPod. Huawei claims significant performance advantages over competitors.
