Huawei Horinger data center compute lags Nvidia

An analysis of Huawei’s Horinger data center in Inner Mongolia reveals that despite extensive scale and energy resources, its AI compute capacity reaches only about 7 percent of the world’s leading US-based facility. The facility relies on domestic chips like the Ascend 910C, which lag behind Nvidia hardware in energy efficiency and performance. Researchers estimate the campus currently hosts about 81,000 H100-equivalents of compute capacity, with plans to expand further by 2028. Open article →
