Huawei
Hardware
Huawei's line of AI training and inference processors (NPUs) and the systems built on them -- the platform brand for the silicon itself (still called Ascend in some regional markets and in the underlying chip generation names), sold standalone and in Atlas-branded servers and SuperPoD clusters, now recorded in their own separate hardware and software-stack products.
14U AI server powered by eight Huawei 950DT NPUs, rated at up to 12.4 PFLOPS at mxFP4, for on-premises AI training and inference in finance, government and healthcare deployments.
Rack-scale AI supercomputing cabinet built from 64 Huawei 950DT NPUs per cabinet and scalable to 1,024 NPUs over a UB Link fabric for trillion-parameter model training and inference.
SK Hynix
Hardware
CXL 2.0 memory module that expands and pools DDR5 capacity and bandwidth beyond the CPU's own channels for AI and high-performance computing servers, with a 96GB version through customer validation and a 128GB 1bnm version following.
Fourth-generation high-bandwidth memory that vertically stacks up to 12 DRAM layers for 36GB at 9.6Gbps, sold to GPU and AI accelerator makers for AI server packages.
Fifth-generation high-bandwidth memory with 2,048 I/O terminals and over 10Gbps operating speed, roughly doubling HBM3E bandwidth for next-generation AI accelerators.
PCIe Gen5 enterprise SSD series in E1.S form factor with in-house ASIC and V8 4D NAND, power-optimised for AI servers and NVIDIA RVL-qualified for GB200 -- one model shipping today, PEB110 (1,920-7,680GB, 20W, mass production).
PCIe Gen5 enterprise SSD series with in-house ASIC and V7 4D NAND for high-performance datacenter workloads, supporting up to 16TB in U.2/3 and the newer E3.S form factor -- two models shipping today, PS1010 and PS1030.
192GB LPDDR5X-based low-power memory module built on the 1cnm process and designed as main memory for AI servers, delivering over double the bandwidth of conventional RDIMM at over 75% better power efficiency.
No counterpart
Huawei sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for SK Hynix yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
