Despite tough U.S. export controls, Huawei is charging ahead with a blend of science and strategic patience. CEO Ren Zhengfei candidly revealed that the company’s advanced chips are currently one generation behind U.S. rivals, but he reassured everyone by saying, "There is no need to worry about the chip problem."
Huawei is not sitting idle. The tech giant is leveraging advanced mathematical principles to "supplement physics" while employing non-Moore's Law methods alongside cluster computing. A prime example is the launch of its AI CloudMatrix 384 system, which seamlessly links 384 Ascend 910C chips to boost performance—making it competitive in key performance metrics.
In a bold long-term strategy, about one-third of Huawei's massive 180-billion-yuan annual R&D budget is dedicated to foundational theoretical research. As Ren puts it, "Without theory, there will be no breakthroughs," emphasizing that investing in deep research is like nurturing strong roots for future innovation. 🚀
This dynamic approach highlights Huawei's commitment to overcoming current hurdles and transforming the future of chip technology amid ongoing tech talks and trade discussions.
