This innovation is set to compete with Nvidia's NVLink, which enhances high-speed communication between AI chips.

While Huawei's AI chips may not match Nvidia's in power, the ability to cluster them provides users with increased compute power, essential for training and scaling AI systems. This move is a strategic play to enhance Huawei's competitiveness in the semiconductor industry.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of China's decision to ban domestic tech companies from purchasing Nvidia hardware, including the RTX Pro 600D servers tailored for the Chinese market. This development could potentially shift the balance in Huawei's favour, as it positions itself as a viable alternative in the AI infrastructure space.
