US exaggerating Huawei’s chip achievements, it isn’t great yet: Founder

Huawei Founder Ren Zhengfei believes that the US has been overhyping the company’s chip achievements. However, it is not a complete truth. The Chinese tech giant still has a long way to go to achieve big growth in the chipset segment.

Over time, the US authorities have imposed many stricter regulations on Huawei and its allies, seeing its rise in the chip field. Although the company has now revealed how many difficulties it has faced and still has a lot of room for improvements.

The senior executive today talked with one of the Chinese media outlets and said that the US was exaggerating the Huawei chip business and its achievements.

He added that the foreign authorities have played down the company’s tech amid trade tensions between China and the US, which also includes talks on export controls.

Ren said that even though Huawei is doing well in computing power, AI, and software segments, it still has a lot of work in the chip space. The firm needs upgraded strategies to withstand the ongoing challenges due to the US-China tech war.

The executive has made this statement after Nvidia was concerned about Huawei’s growth. Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, has discussed many times in the media that Ascend processors are doing well in the market, rivaling H20.

Jensen even added that the US export controls are indirectly helping the Chinese chip brands to take over the AI market in China, making them more powerful.

Huawei’s Founder further mentioned that the company has resolved certain technical issues in the chipset field. It has used cluster and stacking that made computing results comparable to the world’s best technologies in the market.

CloudMatrix 384 is the perfect example in this case. As per early reports, the AI tech is more efficient than Nvidia NVL72. Ren believes that China and Huawei are doing well in AI with sufficient electricity and a developed information network.

“AI depends on abundant electricity and advanced network infrastructure. China’s power generation and grid systems are world-class. Our telecoms infrastructure is the most advanced in the world. But when it comes to chips, the US has exaggerated Huawei’s achievements. Huawei is not that great.”
