ALBAWABA – Huawei, the Chinese multinational technology corporation, is planning to start mass shipments of its AI chips to China, according to sources.
Huawei’s new 910C AI chip
The well-known technology company is planning to begin shipments of its new 910C artificial intelligence (AI) chip to the Chinese market very soon, according to close sources.
Additionally, sources confirmed that Huawei had already started delivering some of its AI chips even earlier.
Notably, this move comes as artificial intelligence (AI) companies in China are struggling to find local alternatives to the popular H20 AI chip, which only Nvidia has been permitted to sell in the Chinese market.

Following the recent tariff war between the United States (US) and China, the Trump administration informed Nvidia that sales of the H20 AI chip would require an export license.
As the US intensifies efforts to curb China’s technological advancement, Nvidia’s most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) products—including its flagship P200 chip—have been banned from the Chinese market.
This shift has opened the door for Huawei and other Chinese AI chip startups to target the market in Nvidia’s absence.
