At the time, Huawei claimed that its chip was the world's most powerful AI processor and Chinese media reports said the original Ascend 910 was manufactured on a 7 nanometer process. The chip, however, failed to dent Nvidia's dominance both inside and outside China. Nvidia introduced its A100 and H100 chips in 2020 and 2022 respectively which swept up the majority of the AI chip market share globally, a trend supercharged by the emergence of generative AI.
Reuters also found that documents related to Ascend 910B, such driver and firmware upgrade guides, started appearing on Huawei’s website this August. In the absence of Nvidia chips, China's AI firms will have to rely on domestic products like Huawei's less powerful chips, but analysts say that it could be only a matter of time before Huawei is able to close this gap, given the amount of support and investment the Chinese government is pouring into AI and semiconductors.
