Nvidia is a little panicked, Huawei s AI chips are rising, and the 10 billion market is at risk

Mondo Technology Updated on 2024-01-19

The decision of the United States to export AI chips to China has caused concern among Nvidia, which they believe will lose a permanent opportunity. If China can't buy U.S. AI chips, China's self-developed AI chips will rise and eventually occupy the Chinese market. According to the data, China's AI chip market was about $7 billion in 2022 and is expected to increase to about $11 billion by 2023. In this 10 billion market, Nvidia occupies 90% of the market share, and there is no doubt that Nvidia is the leader in the entire AI chip field.

However, although Nvidia's H100 and A100 high-end AI chips were no longer sold in China last year, its China-only versions of the H800 and A800 launched in China are still popular and are in short supply once they are launched. This year, Nvidia plans to launch the HGXH20, GPUL20 and L2 to replace the H800 and A800, but the plans are not going well. Because NVIDIA has encountered competitors, Huawei's Ascend series of AI chips have become very popular in the Chinese market, and major manufacturers such as iFLYTEK and 360 have purchased Huawei's AI chips. It is said that Huawei's AI chip has been able to rival Nvidia's A100 chip. It is worth mentioning that the performance of the HGXH20 chip is sealed by 80%, and only 20% of the performance of the H100 chip, which cannot compete with Huawei's AI chips.

For now, Nvidia's plans to launch the H20 chip have been delayed, most likely because they consider that it may not be popular in the Chinese market. However, Nvidia is certainly reluctant to give up this $10 billion market and will do something to compete for market share, possibly launching some castrated versions of AI chips. But in any case, under the leadership of Huawei's AI chips, domestic GPU manufacturers will definitely launch more GPU chips and AI chips, and gradually realize the replacement of American products. As Nvidia has done before, Chinese AI chips will rise and eventually replace the US monopoly in this market.

As a well-known technology giant in China, Huawei's AI chip series, the Ascend series, has achieved great success in the Chinese market. Many large enterprises such as iFLYTEK and 360 have said that they have purchased Huawei's AI chips. According to the evaluation of all parties, Huawei's AI chip has been able to compete with NVIDIA's A100 chip. This also shows that Huawei's AI chips have reached the world's leading level in technology.

The success of Huawei's Ascend series of AI chips in the Chinese market is inseparable from their excellent performance and stable quality. In terms of performance, Huawei's AI chips have demonstrated powerful computing capabilities and efficient data processing capabilities in different fields. At the same time, Huawei's AI chips have lower power consumption, which can better meet the power consumption needs of users. In addition, the quality of Huawei's AI chips is very stable and can operate normally in various complex environments, ensuring data security and stability.

The rise of Huawei's AI chips is also inseparable from Huawei's strong R&D strength and investment. As one of the world's leading communications equipment manufacturers, Huawei has extensive R&D experience in the field of artificial intelligence. Huawei has a strong technical team that can continuously promote the R&D and innovation of AI chips. In addition, Huawei has invested a lot of money in the research and development of artificial intelligence chips, which provides a solid foundation for the company's technical reserves.

Data shows that the scale of the AI chip market in Chinese mainland will continue to grow in the next few years. According to market research institutes**, the AI chip market in Chinese mainland will be about $7 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow to about $11 billion by 2023. This fast-growing market has brought huge business opportunities and challenges to domestic AI chip companies.

The potential of China's AI chip market mainly comes from two aspects. First of all, China has developed quite rapidly in the field of artificial intelligence in recent years, and is gradually moving towards a big country in artificial intelligence. **With the support of supportive policies, domestic enterprises and scientific research institutions have made a series of important breakthroughs in the field of artificial intelligence, which has promoted the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology. Secondly, China's huge market demand for AI chips is also increasing. With the rapid development of China's economy and the improvement of people's living standards, artificial intelligence technology has been widely used in various fields, driving the market demand for artificial intelligence chips.

In this market with huge potential, China's AI chip companies will face huge business opportunities and challenges. These include well-known companies such as Huawei, iFLYTEK, and Megvii, which have shown outstanding strength in R&D capabilities and market penetration. At the same time, due to the fierce competition in the market, enterprises also need to continuously improve their technical strength and launch more advanced products to meet market demand.

With the decision of the United States to export AI chips to China, China's AI chip market is booming, and the rise of Huawei's AI chips has become a reality. This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for NVIDIA, which has to face competition from domestic companies such as Huawei. However, the huge potential of China's AI chip market also brings huge business opportunities for domestic companies. In this context, China's AI chip companies need to continuously increase R&D investment, improve technical strength, and launch more advanced products to seize market share.

There is no doubt that the rise of Huawei's AI chips marks China's strength and competitiveness in the field of AI chips. With the improvement of domestic enterprise technology and the expansion of the market, China's AI chips will gradually replace the monopoly position of the United States, and eventually become the leader in the field of global AI chips. The rapid development of China's AI chip market will bring huge business opportunities to domestic enterprises and inject new impetus into China's development in the field of artificial intelligence.
