Nvidia Has Competition from Huawei’s New Offering
Nvidia may finally have a strong rival in the form of Huawei and their new CloudMatrix 384 computing system.
Quick overview
- Huawei has launched its most powerful chip, the CloudMatrix 384, which directly competes with Nvidia's top AI computing systems.
- The new product was unveiled at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai and aims to enhance power efficiency and cooling compared to Nvidia's H100 GPU.
- Chinese consumers are seeking alternatives to Nvidia due to trade restrictions, and Huawei's offering may provide a viable option.
- Despite Huawei's advancements, Nvidia's stock remains strong, reflecting investor confidence in its market position.
Huawei Technologies has a new computing product that is a direct competitor to the strongest chip Nvidia (NVDA) can offer, and it is the most powerful chip Huawei has made.
Huawei has tried to compete with Nvidia before, but they have never succeeded at this level. Their new CloudMatrix 384 offers similar specs to Nvidia’s most powerful AI computing chips.
The Chinese company unveiled its computing system at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai this month. Huawei is pushing the capabilities of AI computing systems with their new product, creating what is considered a strong direct competitor to Nvidia.
For a while now, Chinese consumers have been looking for alternatives to Nvidia chips due to tight trade restrictions imposed on goods sent to China by the United States government. Even with those restrictions starting to relax, Nvidia has some work to do to fully penetrate that market where Huawei already has a strong grip.
Innovations from Huawei
The new system will improve power efficiency, says Huawei, and it improves on cooling and throughput when compared to the H100 GPU from Nvidia. Even though Nvidia owns about 80% of the AI accelerator market, specifically the high end of the market, Huawei may finally have a substantial rival for them.
If Huawei can offer a cheaper alternative to Nvidia and outperform their products in some key areas, they may succeed in partially pushing Nvidia out of the country.
Nvidia’s Stock Performance
Nvidia stock is up 1.11% today, so investors do not seem worried that Huawei will offer any serious direct competition for now. After all, the Huawei computing system is not available yet. Over the last month, the NVDA price has climbed from $157 per share to $175 per share- an 11.4% increase.
Nvidia’s stock is at all-time high values right now and has been for weeks, setting new records and impressing investors. We expect this stock to continue to climb throughout the year, finishing off 2025 very strong, even with some severe competition coming from China. Over the last few years, investors have seen tremendous growth from Nvidia’s stock, and we see no reason why this stock should not continue to perform well.
