July 28 – Huawei Technologies took the stage at Shanghai’s World Artificial Intelligence Conference to reveal its CloudMatrix 384 AI computing system, a platform Reuters reports rivals Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) most advanced offering.
Built on custom AI?optimized chips and high?speed interconnects, CloudMatrix 384 delivers multi?petaflop performance for large?scale model training. Huawei says the system taps innovations in chip design, cooling and power efficiency to match or exceed the throughput of Nvidia’s H100 GPUs, which dominate data?center AI workloads.
Analysts note that while Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) holds roughly 80% of the high?end AI accelerator market, competitors like Huawei and Cerebras are closing the gap. CloudMatrix 384 could appeal to Chinese cloud providers and enterprises seeking alternatives amid U.S. export restrictions on Nvidia chips.
Investors remain bullish on the company’s next?generation Blackwell architecture. For Huawei, the launch signals an intensified push into global AI infrastructure, setting up a fierce technology duel between the U.S. and Chinese AI champions.
