Huawei reportedly plans to soon begin testing its latest Ascend AI chip, the Ascend 910D, which the company hopes will rival Nvidia's H100.

The report states that Huawei has recently approached several Chinese technology companies to test the technical capabilities of the new processor. Huawei hopes the Ascend 910D will outperform Nvidia’s high-end H100 AI chip, which is widely considered a benchmark for training sophisticated machine learning models.

Chinese tech giant Huawei is reportedly ready to test a new artificial-intelligence chip to compete with Nvidia — but the U.S. chipmaker shouldn’t be too concerned, according to one analyst. Huawei is looking to test its Ascend 910D chip with fellow homegrown tech companies and is expected to get its first samples of the chips next month,
