China’s Huawei hypes up chip and computing power plans in fresh challenge to Nvidia

SHANGHAIL: Huawei outlined its long-term chip plans for the first time on Thursday and said it would launch the world’s most powerful computing clusters – underscoring China’s drive to wean itself off foreign semiconductor suppliers like Nvidia.

In an announcement that broke years of secrecy about its chips business and which could increase the stakes in the U.S.-Sino war for tech supremacy, Huawei detailed timelines for its Ascend artificial intelligence chips and Kunpeng server chips.
