Huawei is considering launching its latest AI chip, "Ascend 950," in Korea next year.
Wang, head of Huawei Korea, said at a press briefing for "Huawei Day 2025" held at The Plaza Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul, on the 26th, "We are considering launching AI computing cards and data center solutions," and noted, "We aim to offer Korean corporations a second option beyond Nvidia."
Huawei plans to sell "Ascend 950" in cluster units. Wang said, "This is not simply about providing AI cards and servers, but a strategy to accelerate industrial applications." To that end, the company plans to offer an end-to-end (E2E) solution that includes infrastructure hardware and software such as networks and storage.
Wang added, "There are no plans to launch smartphones in Korea next year."
