Jarvis Analyze This!
Alright people let's cut the chase. Huawei bless their cotton socks thinks they're about to drop the mic on Nvidia with their new Ascend 910D AI chip. They're talking about going head to head with Nvidia’s H100 which last time I checked was a pretty big deal. It's like saying you're gonna out fly Iron Man in a cardboard box. Possible? Maybe. Probable? Only in an alternate reality where I'm not the genius billionaire playboy philanthropist.
The Great Chip Race: A Tech Cold War Heats Up
So apparently Huawei has been whispering sweet nothings to Chinese tech companies trying to get them on board for a little testing phase. They are so desperate to prove that this chip won't explode when stressed. The report says they're hoping to get their hands on the first batch of samples by late May. Meanwhile I’m over here wondering if they’ve even considered the power consumption. Remember when I first built the Iron Man suit in a cave? Yeah primitive technology isn't always the answer folks.
Mass Production Mayhem: Next Month's Big Surprise?
News flash: Huawei plans to start shipping its Ascend 910C AI chips next month. Good for them! It's like someone finally figuring out how to use a toaster. But here’s the kicker – they’ve been trying to catch up to Nvidia for years. It’s like Rhodey trying to keep up with me in a go kart. Adorable but ultimately futile. Especially when you remember that 'Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk.'
Uncle Sam's Tech Blockade: No B200 for You!
Now here's where things get spicy. Washington has thrown a wrench in the gears by cutting China off from Nvidia’s top tier AI toys including the B200 chip. It's all part of some grand plan to limit China's technological growth especially when it comes to military applications. Because you know advanced AI in the wrong hands is just a recipe for Ultron 2.0. I know from experience that 'If we can't protect the Earth you can be damn sure we'll avenge it!'
H100: The Chip That Couldn't Cross the Border
The H100 chip? Banned from sale in China back in 2022 before it even hit the shelves. That’s some serious 'Don't even think about it' vibes from the US authorities. It's like trying to get past Happy Hogan with a fake ID. Not gonna happen. But hey maybe Huawei's chip will be so good it'll make the H100 look like a glorified calculator. Doubtful but a guy can dream right?
Silence of the Chips: Nvidia and Huawei Stay Mum
Nvidia declined to comment probably because they're too busy counting their money. Huawei on the other hand didn't even bother responding. Maybe they're too busy trying to figure out how to make their chip not burst into flames. Either way it’s all very hush hush. But don’t worry your friendly neighborhood Iron Man will keep his eyes on this. After all 'I am Iron Man.' And I always know what's up.

The US ban is a game changer.
