Isn't this a big deal in the tech world lately! Huawei, a company, has always been regarded as a "desperate San Lang" in the industry, and its spirit of stumbling to the end is really admirable. Just a few days ago, they made another big move and launched an AI chip called "Ascend 910C", which directly struck down Nvidia, a big man in the industry.
As soon as this chip came out, it caused quite a stir. Industry insiders were stunned, how did Huawei do this? This performance, this energy consumption ratio, this price, is simply open! NVIDIA's A100 chip has always been the "first brother" in the field of AI, but I didn't expect it to be surpassed by Huawei in a blink of an eye. It's like the leader of the martial arts alliance was suddenly picked off by an obscure small sect, which is somewhat embarrassing.
What's even more surprising is that the price of Huawei's chip is still very close to the people, only 60% of Nvidia A100. This is even more interesting, with the same performance, the price is cheaper, who will buy Nvidia's chips? As soon as the news came out, Nvidia's stock price fell by 16% in an instant, which is a rare drop in history.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Huawei's achievements today are not achieved overnight. As early as 6 years ago, this company began to lay out the AI field, and at that time, the industry still felt that this was a "money-burning" transaction. However, with its keen market insight and persistent investment, Huawei has made a bloody way in this field. Last year, they also launched a "Vanka AI Cluster", which is comparable in speed and stability to high-speed rail, laying a solid foundation for today's breakthrough.
Interestingly, Huawei's layout in the AI field is not simply to pursue technical "bells and whistles". They pay more attention to the application of AI technology to real life, so that ordinary people can truly enjoy the dividends of scientific and technological progress. For example, Huawei has done a lot of practice and exploration in unmanned driving and industrial robots. This concept rooted in people's livelihood will undoubtedly become a major advantage for Huawei in the future competition.
At a higher level, the success of Huawei's Ascend chips also represents the rise of Chinese technology companies on the global stage. Once upon a time, we were still following the role of "following the example of others", and now we have the ability to achieve "corner overtaking" in some areas. This kind of change is not only at the technical level, but also a reflection of the improvement of the country's comprehensive strength.
Technological development has never been smooth sailing. In the face of Huawei's sudden rise, Nvidia and other American companies will certainly not rest on their laurels. In the future, in the field of AI chips, there will be a good show. As melon eaters, we must not only be proud of the progress of Chinese enterprises, but also remain rational and objective, and not be blindly optimistic or arrogant. As long as we insist on innovation and remain open, we believe that we will eventually win our own place in this global technology race.
