3. Huawei’s AI Chip Ambitions Face U.S. Roadblocks—but the Ascend 910C is Coming in 2025!

Huawei plans to mass-produce its advanced AI chip, Ascend 910C, in early 2025, despite U.S. restrictions that have severely hampered chip production. Current yield rates for the chip, produced by SMIC, are only around 20%, far below the 70% needed for commercial viability. U.S. export curbs, including bans on advanced lithography equipment from Dutch supplier ASML, have slowed Huawei's progress. With limited resources, Huawei is prioritizing strategic government and corporate orders while also supplementing production with less-advanced chips from TSMC. As U.S.-China tensions rise, Washington continues to tighten restrictions, further complicating Huawei’s AI ambitions.
