Huawei procures AI servers

Huawei is actively deploying advanced AI servers, including the Atlas 950 and 960 SuperPoD clusters powered by Ascend AI chips, capturing a significant share of China's AI server market.

Latest AI Server Models

Huawei recently unveiled the Atlas 950 and Atlas 960 SuperPoD AI clusters, designed to compete with NVIDIA's AI servers. The Atlas 950 SuperPoD features 8,192 Ascend 950 AI chips, delivering 8 EFLOPS FP8 and 16 EFLOPS FP16 performance with 16. 3 PB/s interconnect bandwidth.

These clusters can scale into Atlas SuperClusters with up to 524,288 Ascend 950 chips, making them among the largest AI compute clusters globally. The Atlas 960 SuperCluster is projected to reach zettaFLOP-level compute power with nearly a million NPUs by 2027.

A

I Chip Usage and Market ShareHuawei's Ascend AI chips have become a cornerstone of China's domestic AI server ecosystem. In 2025, Huawei shipped approximately 812,000 AI chip units, contributing to Chinese firms capturing 41% of the domestic AI accelerator server market, while NVIDIA's share declined to 55%. The Ascend 910B and 910C chips are widely used for inference workloads, and the performance gap with NVIDIA's H100 and H200 chips is narrowing.

Enterprise Adoption and ApplicationsHuawei's AI servers are deployed across multiple industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, aviation, and automotive. The CloudMatrix384 supernode enables full pooling of compute, memory, and storage resources, supporting distributed parallel AI tasks and delivering 3–4 times higher inference performance per card compared to previous models. Huawei also offers Elastic Memory Service to reduce latency in multi-round AI model interactions.

Additionally, “all-in-one” servers with embedded DeepSeek AI models allow enterprises to quickly deploy AI applications on-premises, meeting security requirements for sensitive data. Infrastructure and EcosystemHuawei's AI infrastructure integrates Kunpeng ARM processors, TaiShan servers, and HarmonyOS, providing a vertically integrated ecosystem that reduces reliance on x86 hardware.

The Unified

Bus 2. 0 interconnect links thousands of NPUs in SuperPoDs and scales to millions in future SuperClusters, surpassing traditional NVLink and RoCE interconnects. Huawei's open-source AI stack, including MindSpore, CANN, and openEuler, offers a full-stack alternative to NVIDIA's CUDA, supporting enterprise AI adoption globally.

Summary

Huawei is aggressively expanding its AI server procurement and deployment, leveraging Ascend AI chips, large-scale SuperPoD clusters, and integrated software-hardware ecosystems. These efforts position Huawei as a major player in China's AI server market, enabling enterprises to deploy high-performance AI workloads while reducing dependence on Western hardware providers.
