Huawei Technologies will set up a cloud and AI business group in South Korea this year, hoping to enter the GPU server market currently dominated by NVIDIA.
As of now, Huawei is recruiting specialists for this new association, including previous and current workers and administrators from Nvidia.
In August 2019, Huawei released the Ascend 910 and considered it the world’s best AI processor. Ascend 910 achieved a speed of 256 TeraFLOPS, which is about twice that of NVIDIA GPU Tesla V100. Ascend 910 is made using 7nm + technology, while Tesla V100 utilizes 12nm.
A month after Ascend 910 was released, Huawei released Atlas 900, calling it the world’s quickest AI training cluster. Its main purpose is to consider climate estimates, self-governing driving, oil investigation, and space perception.
In January 2020, Huawei released Kunpeng 920, which is a server CPU for big data computing and decentralized storage. It is based on the ARMv8 architecture and consists of a 2.6GHz 64 core. Huawei said that the energy efficiency of this chip has increased by 30%. On the same day, Huawei released the Taishan server series, equipped with Kunpeng 920.
Huawei Korea is composed of three different departments, operator BG, enterprise BG, and consumer BG, and the newly established Korea Cloud and AI BG will be classified as enterprise BG.
