Huawei on Thursday took the rare step of publicizing a three-year vision for eroding Nvidia’s dominance in the AI boom. In theory, the technique lets Huawei link as many as 15,488 of its Ascend-branded AI chips using self-developed UnifiedBus interconnect protocol, a new technology also formally unveiled on Thursday. Chinese chips generally remain inferior to those from Nvidia or Advanced Micro Devices, both of which get to use the world’s most cutting-edge chipmaking processes offered by TSMC. But in recent years, Chinese firms have found innovative solutions to get around power and performance ceilings. To build the so-called super cluster, Huawei plans to ramp up connection and memory access speeds within chips.
