Ascend

Gambit

<ul>
 <li>Huawei is on the verge of launching the Ascend 910C, an AI chip designed to compete with Nvidia’s H100.</li>
 <li>This move is part of a broader technological race between China and the US, further intensified by political tensions.</li>
</ul>
In a surprising turn of events, Chinese tech giant Huawei has <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/mt-gox-2-billion-in-bitcoin-on-the-verge-of-release/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced</a> the upcoming launch of its latest AI chip, the Ascend 910C. This chip, which according to the Wall Street Journal is already being tested by several Chinese companies, is said to rival Nvidia’s flagship H100 in terms of performance and efficiency.
For Huawei, this development represents a significant step towards technological independence. The company, which has been grappling with US sanctions for years that restrict its access to advanced semiconductors, sees the Ascend 910C as an opportunity to break free from its reliance on foreign technologies.
Nvidia, the undisputed market leader in AI chips, <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/why-marathon-digital-betting-250m-on-bitcoin-matters-more-than-you-think/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">remains</a> unfazed. With an impressive market capitalization of $2.68 trillion and a strategic plan to deliver over a million of its new H2O chips to Chinese customers, the company seems to be solidifying its position.

The launch of the Ascend 910C by Huawei is more than just a technological advancement; it’s a clear signal to the US that China is <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/brokers-shun-crypto-in-hong-kong-is-this-the-end-of-bitcoin-etfs/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">determined</a> to become a major player in the field of artificial intelligence.
