Huawei Technologies is preparing to test its new processor, the Ascend 910D, which is set to compete with Nvidia chips. This comes amid growing tensions in US-China trade relations.
New Processor from Huawei
Huawei is actively developing a new processor called Ascend 910D, aimed at competing with high-performance chips from Nvidia. The first samples are expected by the end of May. Earlier versions, 910B and 910C, have been released, but experts indicate that the 910D is still in development and will require more testing before market release.
Nvidia Competition and Market Impact
Nvidia plays a significant role in the competitive battle for AI technology between the US and China. Chinese tech companies, such as Tencent and Alibaba, are interested in Nvidia's H20 chips, but new US export restrictions may lead to losses for Nvidia, estimated at $5.5 billion due to unfulfilled orders. This prompts a reassessment of investments in AI on the crypto market, affecting cryptocurrencies related to these technologies.
Future of the US-China Trade War
These controls are part of the US strategy to reduce reliance on China for advanced technology. Nvidia has announced plans to invest $500 billion in new AI servers in the US. At the same time, TSMC, a major chip manufacturer from Taiwan, has stated plans to invest $100 billion to increase production in Arizona. These events highlight the deepening technological divide between the two largest economies.
The trade war between the US and China continues to impact the technology and cryptocurrency markets. Huawei's new developments affirm the competitiveness of Chinese technologies while also underscoring risks associated with regulatory constraints.
