Chinese tech firm Cambricon Technologies has plans to triple its production of domestic AI chips in 2026, according to Bloomberg. Although not officially announced, people familiar with the matter reportedly claim Cambricon is looking to fill the void left by Nvidia's pullback from the region over trade issues and government mandates, as well as to compete more effectively with national giant Huawei.
Questions still remain, however, over how Cambricon will achieve these aims, as it's not clear whether the fabrication capacity exists for it to complete its goals in such a short time frame.
