Huawei's Historic Breakthrough: The Next Milestone - 910C Compute Server

Revolutionizing Technology with Unprecedented Computing Power

In March 2024, the Huawei Developer Conference unveiled the pure HarmonyOS, a fully self-controlled operating system. HarmonyOS Next features a new system architecture, improving overall performance by over 30%, boosting connectivity by more than three times, increasing capacity by over four times, and reducing power consumption by 20%.

Huawei plans to migrate over 5000 applications to HarmonyOS within the next year, aiming to make it the world's third-largest mobile operating system.

The operating system is a crucial node for China's self-control, and another key milestone is the development of self-controlled computing chips.

According to IC news, Huawei's Ascend 910C chip is in intensive internal testing. It is expected to expand testing within the next two months, launch prototypes in Q4 this year, and achieve mass production by Q1 2025.

Recent information suggests the upcoming 910C's performance can rival NVIDIA's H100. Once mass-produced, it signifies that China's compute chips are ready for use, leading to a surge in Ascend server volumes. Servers equipped with the 910C chip are expected to see a significant value increase.

Both Huawei 910 and 910B use a 7nm process with enhanced EUV technology. If 910C is mass-produced, it is likely to use a 7nm or more advanced process.

With advanced packaging, two 910B chips are combined, doubling performance, bandwidth, and power consumption!

Additionally, as large models enter the era of training clusters with thousands of GPUs, the 910C compute cluster will meet the parallel needs of ten thousand GPUs.
