TapTechNews, June 3rd. According to a video circulating online, Zhang Ping'an, Executive Director of Huawei, talked about the issue of 'our innovative direction in the era of computing power networks' at the 2024 China Mobile Computing Power Network Conference.
Regarding the well-known current situation of Chinese chips, Zhang Ping'an said, 'We definitely can't get 3-nanometer, definitely can't get 5-nanometer, and it would be very, very good if we can solve 7-nanometer.'
Zhang Ping'an also believes that the direction of innovation in Chinese chips must rely on the direction of our chip capabilities, not on a single chip process, but should focus on the system architecture (to exert efforts), giving full play to our ability in bandwidth, hoping to use space, bandwidth and energy to make up for our deficiencies in chips.
According to TapTechNews' inquiry, Zhang Ping'an currently serves as the CEO of Huawei Cloud, and the theme of this speech is 'Co-constructing a cloud base for an intelligent world and enabling AI to reshape thousands of industries and businesses.'
Huawei Cloud is vigorously developing computing power networks. At the end of March this year, Huawei Cloud officially signed a cooperation agreement with the Management Committee of Guizhou Gui'an New District. Huawei Cloud will build a Huawei Cloud Intelligent Computing Base in Gui'an New District, and aims to build the 'world's largest and leading intelligent computing center'.
During the 7th Digital China Construction Summit in May, the 'Building One Network, Smartening One City' Urban One Network Summit Forum activity hosted by Huawei was held in Sanfang Qixiang, Fuzhou. Huawei released the overall architecture of 'Urban One Network 2.0', focusing on incorporating the data element network and urban computing power private network into the top-level planning blueprint of 'Urban One Network 2.0', while better driving the accelerated construction of the urban optical network.
In the aspect of AI chips, Huawei only started to challenge NVIDIA last year. According to sources, Huawei will significantly increase the shipment volume of its Ascend 910B chip this year, and this chip outperforms NVIDIA H20 in some key indicators.
