TAIPEI<\/span><\/span>, Feb. 26, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — According to the news report from the technology-focused media\u00a0DIGITIMES Asia<\/a>, Huawei’s Ascend 910C AI chip has reportedly reached a 40% manufacturing yield, marking the first time the Ascend production line has turned profitable. The company aims to improve the yield to 60%, bringing it closer to industry standards.<\/p>\n

Yield improvement and profitability milestone<\/b><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Financial Times<\/i>, citing industry sources, reports that Huawei’s Ascend 910C, manufactured using the SMIC 7nm (N+2) process, has improved its yield rate to nearly 40%, making the Ascend production line profitable for the first time.<\/p>\n

Production targets for 2025<\/b><\/p>\n

Huawei plans to produce 100,000 Ascend 910C chips and 300,000 Ascend 910B<\/span> chips in 2025\u2014up from zero and 200,000 units in 2024, respectively. The company now accounts for over 75% of China’s<\/span> total AI chip production, highlighting its growing presence in the domestic semiconductor market.<\/p>\n

Yield gains and sector benchmark<\/b><\/p>\n

In September 2024<\/span>, reports from\u00a0Reuters<\/i>,\u00a0Yahoo Finance<\/i>, and\u00a0TrendForce<\/i>\u00a0revealed that Ascend 910C’s yield was only 20%, while the older Ascend 910B<\/span> reached 50%. Since then, Huawei has doubled the 910C’s yield, aiming for 60% to match industry norms.<\/p>\n

Performance comparison with Nvidia<\/b><\/p>\n

According to\u00a0ICSmart<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Tom’s Hardware<\/i>, Huawei’s Ascend 910C delivers 60% of the inference performance of Nvidia’s H100 GPU. While it still trails Nvidia’s next-generation Blackwell AI chips, its advancement signals China’s<\/span> push to reduce reliance on Nvidia’s hardware.<\/p>\n

Shift to domestic foundry amid US sanctions<\/b><\/p>\n

Due to US trade restrictions, TSMC halted production of Huawei’s AI chips in 2020. Huawei has since shifted manufacturing to SMIC, ensuring continued chip production despite sanctions.<\/p>\n

Analysts view Huawei’s progress with the Ascend 910C as a key milestone in China’s<\/span> push for semiconductor self-sufficiency, reducing its dependence on Western chipmakers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
