Huawei is set to introduce what it calls the world’s most powerful computing node, the Atlas 950, in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to Vice Chairman and rotating Chairman Eric Xu. Speaking at a recent event, Xu confirmed that the company is pushing ahead with advanced artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure to strengthen its position in the global AI race.
The Atlas 950 is designed to support up to 8,192 Huawei Ascend chips, making it a milestone in large-scale AI computing. Huawei has also mapped out its long-term roadmap, with plans to release the next-generation Atlas 960 by the fourth quarter of 2027. The Atlas 960 will nearly double computing capacity, supporting as many as 15,488 Ascend chips. Xu emphasized that both systems excel in critical performance metrics, including total compute power, memory capacity, card count, and interconnect bandwidth.
The development comes as Chinese regulators encourage domestic companies to prioritize homegrown AI solutions such as Huawei’s Ascend chips over foreign alternatives like Nvidia’s GPUs. By offering comparable performance while ensuring supply chain security, Huawei aims to solidify its dominance in China’s AI hardware market and compete on a global scale.
These advancements reflect Huawei’s strategy to enhance national self-reliance in high-performance computing. With global demand for AI infrastructure surging, the Atlas 950 and its successor are expected to play a pivotal role in powering next-generation AI applications across industries, from cloud services and autonomous driving to scientific research.
Huawei’s latest announcement signals a clear message: the company intends to lead the future of AI computing by delivering unmatched performance, scalability, and innovation.
