Recently, Huawei's new Atlas 900 AI chip and Mate 60 Pro mobile phone have once again aroused widespread public attention and discussion. One of the two stories was exciting, the other sparked public outrage.
First of all, let's talk about the Atlas 900, which is exciting news for the Chinese people. According to Huawei, the AI computing power of the Atlas 900 is the pinnacle of its current similar products, and its INT8 computing power reaches 6,000 trillion operations per second, which is 200 times that of the NVIDIA GH100. This achievement is based on Huawei's self-developed Ascend 910 chip.
As the first company in China to independently design a RISC-V architecture AI chip, Huawei's achievement is undoubtedly exciting. Previously, AI chip technology has long been dominated by foreign companies such as NVIDIA, and Huawei's Ascend chip series has broken this situation. This not only shows Huawei's strong strength in chip design and manufacturing, but also demonstrates the progress and confidence of Chinese enterprises in core technology research and development. Coincidentally, not long ago, another technology company, Baidu, also released its self-developed AI chip Kunlun. These developments indicate that Chinese companies are launching a general offensive in the "neck" field of chip technology, which is a major breakthrough in domestic substitution.
In contrast to the good news of Atlas 900, the ongoing "Zunpaimen" incident has sparked public outrage. The cause of the incident was that Zunpai was suspected of infringing Huawei's patent rights, and several of its executives were arrested one after another. Subsequently, "Coarse Grain", the person in charge of the "Lei Jun Reliable Fan Support Association", was accused of having a close relationship with Lei Chuanzhi, CEO of the Zunpai, one of the main culprits of the incident, which caused public opinion. Industry insiders have accused "coarse grains" of helping Qualcomm make profits in China for years, while Qualcomm has long managed to suppress domestic companies such as Huawei. As a leading figure in a domestic technology company, if "Coarse Grain" does not take this opportunity to liquidate Qualcomm, but colludes with infringing companies, it will undoubtedly disappoint the public. This shows that some companies have not only failed to unite in the context of the US government's suppression of Huawei, but have taken the opportunity to add obstacles to Huawei, which is regrettable.
To sum up, Huawei's latest moves have inspired two different emotions among the public, one uplifting and the other angry. When we watch, the road in the distance is still long, however, what makes us pay attention is that domestic chips are experiencing a period of opportunity for rapid breakthroughs. At this challenging and hopeful moment, enterprises in the industry should closely unite to resolutely resist external suppression and jointly promote the progress of domestic technology.
Domestic chips, an eye-catching name, represent the dignity and glory of a nation. Over the years, we have experienced many difficulties and setbacks in the development process in this field, however, today's period of opportunity allows us to see the light of day. Domestic chips are moving towards the center of the world stage at an astonishing pace, making the voice of China's science and technology louder step by step.
At this moment of rapid breakthrough, we cannot ignore the changes around us. Foreign repression and blockades are appearing in different forms, trying to stifle the development of domestic chips. However, this external distraction only inspires us to burn our fighting spirit even more. In the face of suppression, what we need to do is not only to resist, but also to unite, turn enemies into friends, and jointly promote the progress of domestic technology with technological innovation and cooperation. We look forward to more good news like Huawei's Atlas 900, and call on companies in the industry to seize the opportunity and forge ahead to promote industry progress through innovation."
