据报道，华为开发了强大的AI芯片，可以与NVIDIA的处理器竞争

总部位于深圳的华为准备开始测试一种名为Ascend 910D的新AI芯片，并已与当地科技公司联系

Chinese tech giant Huawei has reportedly developed a powerful artificial intelligence chip that could rival high-end processors from US chip maker Nvidia.

据报道，中国科技巨头华为已经开发了一种强大的人工智能芯片，可以与美国芯片制造商Nvidia的高端处理器相媲美。

The Shenzhen-based Huawei is poised to start testing a new AI chip called the Ascend 910D, and has approached local tech firms, which are slated to receive the first batch of sample chips by late May, The Wall Street Journal reported on April 27, citing people familiar with the matter.

《华尔街日报》报道，这家总部位于深圳的华为有望开始测试一种名为Ascend 910d的新AI芯片，并已与当地科技公司接触，该公司将于4月27日据报道，该公司计划在5月下旬之前获得第一批样本芯片。

The development is still at an early stage, and a series of tests will be needed to assess the chip’s performance and get it ready for customers.

该开发仍处于早期阶段，需要一系列测试来评估芯片的性能并为客户做好准备。

Huawei is pinning hopes on its latest Ascend AI processor being more powerful than Nvidia’s H100 chip, which was used for AI training in 2022.

华为寄希望于其最新的Ascend AI处理器比NVIDIA的H100芯片更强大，NVIDIA的H100芯片在2022年用于AI培训。

Huawei is also poised to ship more than 800,000 earlier model Ascend 910B and 910C chips to customers, including state-owned telecoms operators and private AI developers such as TikTok parent ByteDance.

华为还准备将800,000多个较早的型号Ascend 910b和910c芯片运送给客户，包括国有电信运营商和私人AI开发人员，例如Tiktok Parent Bytedance。

Beijing has also reportedly encouraged Chinese AI developers to increase purchases of domestic chips as trade tensions between China and the US escalate.

据报道，北京还鼓励中国人工智能开发商增加国内筹码的购买，因为中国与美国之间的贸易紧张局势升级。

In mid-April, Nvidia stated that it was expecting around $5.5 billion in charges associated with its AI chip inventory due to significant export restrictions imposed by the US government affecting its business with China.

在4月中旬，NVIDIA表示，由于美国政府对与中国业务的影响，预计与其AI CHIP库存相关的指控约为55亿美元。

The Trump administration added Nvidia’s H20 chip, its most powerful processor that could be sold to China, to a growing list of semiconductors restricted for sale to the country.

特朗普政府将NVIDIA的H20芯片（可以出售给中国最强大的处理器）添加到越来越多的半导体清单中，这些半导体被限制在该国出售。

Some key components for AI chips, such as the latest high-bandwidth memory units, have also been restricted for export to China by the US.

AI芯片的一些关键组件（例如最新的高带宽内存单元）也受到美国出口到中国的限制。

Huawei is focusing on building more efficient and faster systems, such as CloudMatrix 384, a computing system unveiled in April, connecting Ascend 910C chips. This would leverage their chip arrays and use brute force rather than making individual processors more powerful.

华为致力于建立更高效，更快的系统，例如CloudMatrix 384，这是4月发布的计算系统，连接了Ascend 910c芯片。这将利用他们的芯片阵列并使用蛮力，而不是使单个处理器更强大。

China seeks self-reliance on AI

中国寻求自动依靠人工智能

Reuters reported on April 26, citing state media reports, that Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged “self-reliance and self-strengthening” to develop AI in the country.

路透社于4月26日援引州媒体报道说，中国总统习近平承诺“自力更生和自我强度加强”，以在该国发展AI。

“We must recognise the gaps and redouble our efforts to comprehensively advance technological innovation, industrial development, and AI-empowered applications," Xi said at a Politburo meeting study session on April 25.

XI在4月25日的政治局会议研究会议上说：“我们必须认识到差距，并加倍努力，以全面推进技术创新，工业发展和AI授权应用程序。”

“We must continue to strengthen basic research, concentrate our efforts on mastering core technologies such as high-end chips and basic software, and build an independent, controllable, and collaborative artificial intelligence basic software and hardware system,” Xi added.

XI补充说：“我们必须继续加强基础研究，将精力集中在掌握核心技术（例如高端芯片和基本软件）上，并建立独立，可控制和协作的人工智能基本软件和硬件系统。”

US President Donald Trump has repeatedly urged Xi to contact him for discussions about a potential trade deal after his administration imposed 145% tariffs on most Chinese goods.

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）一再敦促习近平与他联系，以讨论他的政府对大多数中国商品征收145％的关税。

China has stated that it is not having any talks with the US and that the country should “stop creating confusion.”

中国表示，它没有与美国进行任何谈判，该国应该“停止造成混乱”。
