Investing.com -- Huawei Technologies is preparing to start mass shipments of its advanced 910C artificial intelligence (AI) chip to clients in China as early as next month, according a Reuters report on Monday. Some shipments of the chip have already been dispatched.

This development comes at a convenient time for Chinese AI firms, which have been seeking domestic alternatives to the H20, the main AI chip that Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA ) was previously permitted to sell freely in the Chinese market. However, this month, the U.S. administration under President Donald Trump informed Nvidia that sales of the H20 would now require an export license.

Huawei’s 910C chip, a graphics processing unit (GPU), signifies an architectural evolution rather than a technological breakthrough, as per one of the sources and another person familiar with its design. The 910C chip achieves performance on par with Nvidia’s H100 chip by merging two 910B processors into a single package using advanced integration techniques.
