GPU在AI领域应用广泛。而HUAWEI将进入GPU服务器市场了。看来,与阿里巴巴相同,中美巨头们即将开始了在GPU服务器领域展开厮杀。与阿里巴巴不同,阿里巴巴中有很多是AMD的员工,目前芯片部门总部就在张江。HUAWEI,根据外媒,是在韩国建立研发中心,雇佣的不少是GPU另一巨头,NVIDIA的员工。

With Huawei's issues with the US government and its ability to sell smartphones outside of China, the company is forced to look for other revenue streams to compensate for the lost opportunities. So the latest rumor coming from South Korea is that the company is setting up a research center in the country with some new recruits coming from Nvidia.
It's important to note that these are not mainstream GPUs we are talking about here. It's about server-grade GPUs used for cloud computing and AI - a market which Nvidia is currently dominating. According to industry insiders, the tech giant has been developing its own GPU chip since 2012 and will present it to the world when the time is right.It's also possible that the Huawei is working on a GPU to satisfy its own needs as it's currently running some cloud computing services.
