The Wall Street Journal reports Huawei has approached Chinese tech firms to test its latest AI chip, the Ascend 910D.
Chinese tech giant Huawei has reportedly developed a powerful artificial intelligence chip that could rival high-end processors from US chip maker Nvidia.
The Shenzhen-based Huawei is poised to start testing a new AI chip called the Ascend 910D, and has approached local tech firms, which are slated to receive the first batch of sample chips by late May, The Wall Street Journal reported on April 27, citing people familiar with the matter.
The development is still at an early stage, and a series of tests will be needed to assess the chip’s performance and get it ready for customers.
