Patel says Huawei brought seven nanometer AI chips to market first in 2020 with minimal gap to NVIDIA.
“In 2020, they released an Ascend chip and submit it to impartial public benchmarks, and they were the first to bring seven nanometer AI chips to market.”
Patel reports Huawei acquired 2.9 million chips worth $500 million from TSMC through shell companies before getting caught.
“they were able to acquire 3,000,000 chips, 2,900,000 chips from TSMC through these other entities. Right?”
Patel argues export restrictions clearly failed because China manufactured advanced Huawei chip demonstrating broader capabilities.
“The export restrictions have clearly failed because China is still able to manufacture. And what's surprising about the chip that Huawei did is, you know, it's a phone chip.”
