Huawei is preparing to mass-produce its most advanced artificial intelligence (AI)<\/a> chip, the Ascend 910C, in the first quarter of 2025 in a bid to compete with industry leaders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite facing ongoing challenges due to US trade restrictions that limit its chip production capabilities, Huawei has started sending samples to tech companies while taking orders.<\/p>\n

Ascend 910C Chip Faces Sustainability Flaw<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to an exclusive report<\/a> by Reuters, Huawei\u2019s partner, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC), is utilizing its N+2 process to produce the Ascend 910C AI chip. However, limited access to advanced lithography tools has severely restricted its efficiency.<\/p>\n

Sources indicate that the current yield rate is around 20%, well below the 70% threshold required for commercial viability in advanced chip production.<\/p>\n
