The order by one of China's leading AI firms adds to signs that US pressure is prompting Chinese acceptance of Huawei's products as an alternative to those of American chip giant Nvidia.
It will be interesting to see, going forward, if Huawei can improve on their technology and processes
Why is this even a question? China is leading the world in high tech research.
to challenge NVidia
This is where the question is, but if we examine it, why would it be a question of if instead of when? What magic does NVidia have that the largest population in the world with the fastest growing economy in the history of the world can’t compete with?
The spun off company from chinas nvidia branch “Moore Threads” has a gpu out that you can buy, but drivers are extremely terrible on it.
Intel is an example of a major corporation who jumped into the dgpu game a few years ago, and they ran into several driver problems and still have many to this day.
The hardest part of gpu design nowadays isn’t the hardware part, but the software side
