DeepSeek research suggests Huawei's Ascend 910C delivers 60% of Nvidia H100 inference performance

DeepSeek researchers report Huawei's Ascend 910C processor achieves 60% of Nvidia H100's inference performance, potentially reducing China's GPU dependence despite sanctions. While showing promise in inference tasks and manual optimization potential, the processor still faces challenges in long-term training reliability and stability compared to Nvidia's established ecosystem.
