Huawei Unveils New AI Chip Tech to Challenge Nvidia’s Lead
- Huawei unveiled its long-term AI chip plans and newest Atlas 950 and 960 SuperPoDs during the Huawei Connect event in Shanghai on September 18, 2025.
- The announcement follows years of silence and occurs amid U.S. sanctions restricting Huawei's access to advanced semiconductor manufacturing nodes and Chinese probes into Nvidia.
- Huawei's strategy relies on combining many less powerful Ascend chips into SuperPoDs and SuperClusters, claiming these will deliver leading computing power despite individual chips being weaker than Nvidia's.
- The Atlas 950 SuperPoD will support over 8,000 Ascend NPUs with 1152TB memory capacity, shipping in Q4 2026, while the Atlas 960 SuperPod, launching in Q4 2027, will feature up to 15,488 chips and 30 exaflops computing power.
- This approach reflects China's push for technological self-reliance and suggests Huawei aims to maintain AI infrastructure leadership despite export restrictions and manufacturing challenges.
