Huawei is set to begin large-scale shipments of its new AI chip, the 910C, next month, a significant step in China's bid to reduce dependence on US technology amid export restrictions on Nvidia's H20 chip. The 910C, which combines two 910B chips, offers performance comparable to Nvidia's H100, attracting interest from local AI developers seeking alternatives. While Huawei has not confirmed the reports, sources indicate that sample shipments have already occurred, with chips produced using SMIC's 7nm process and possibly involving TSMC components, drawing regulatory attention.
