CHINA'S HUAWEI DEVELOPS NEW AI CHIP, SEEKING TO MATCH NVIDIA

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Huawei's new Ascend 910D AI chip could be more powerful than Nvidia's H100, a popular chip used for AI training. It is still in early development and still needs to be tested to assess performance. The company will receive its first batch of samples of the processor as soon as late May. Huawei faces challenges in producing its chips - it has been cut off from TSMC and China's closest alternative is blocked from purchasing the most advanced chip-making equipment.
