Huawei plans to boost new AI chip production in early 2025, despite US curbs – SUCH TV
Huawei is planning for mass production of its new AI Ascend 910C chip in Q1 2025. This would be a major step in the company’s chipset progress. It will eventually increase the customer base for Huawei’s AI processors in its home ground.
As noted by Reuters, Huawei is ready to ramp up the Ascend 910C AI chip production by the first quarter of next year (Q1 2025). Doing so will help it in battling with its U.S. rival – Nvidia. Although there could be major hurdles in this remarkable journey.
The company is seemingly ready to open a new chapter in its AI processor growth despite ongoing U.S. trade challenges.
U.S. authorities are already eyeing Chinese firms these days. After discovering the TSMC-made SoC in Huawei’s AI product.
Inputs reveal that the Ascend 910C production capacity is currently only 20%. Low yields of chips have been a constant problem for the company. But the OEM will probably resolve the supply issues to a greater extent in the first quarter of 2025.
Huawei has been sending Ascend 910C AI chip samples to some of its top clients in China. Although the set of U.S. curbs affected the company’s production line.
