Notes: Huawei’s 910C and CM384: A Strategic Shock to the NVIDIA Thesis (Pt.1)
Summary
* Huawei’s 910C and CM384 achieve H100-class and Blackwell-scale performance using older nodes, challenging the idea that leading-edge silicon is NVIDIA’s unassailable moat.
* System-level innovations and full-stack integration enable Huawei to deliver better real-world efficiency and scalability in key AI workloads.
* While uninvestable, Huawei’s rise threatens NVIDIA’s pricing power and dominance in China and may erode global competitive differentiation over time.
