Common questions

Huawei Ascend 910B vs NVIDIA GB300 (Blackwell Ultra): which is faster for training?

NVIDIA GB300 (Blackwell Ultra) has 12.50x the dense FP16/BF16 throughput of the other (Huawei Ascend 910B: 400 TFLOPS; NVIDIA GB300 (Blackwell Ultra): 5,000 TFLOPS). Real-world training speed also depends on memory bandwidth, interconnect, and software stack: see the spec diff for those inputs.

Huawei Ascend 910B vs NVIDIA GB300 (Blackwell Ultra): which has more memory?

NVIDIA GB300 (Blackwell Ultra) carries more HBM (Huawei Ascend 910B: 64 GB HBM2e; NVIDIA GB300 (Blackwell Ultra): 288 GB HBM3e). Memory capacity sets the largest model that fits on one chip without partitioning; memory bandwidth sets inference throughput.

Huawei Ascend 910B vs NVIDIA GB300 (Blackwell Ultra): which is more power-efficient?

Dense FP16/BF16 TFLOPS per watt: Huawei Ascend 910B 1.00 (400 ÷ 400 W); NVIDIA GB300 (Blackwell Ultra) 3.57 (5,000 ÷ 1400 W). NVIDIA GB300 (Blackwell Ultra) wins at the die level; system-level efficiency also depends on cooling and interconnect.

Huawei Ascend 910B vs NVIDIA GB300 (Blackwell Ultra): which is more widely used?

Huawei Ascend 910B: 2 robots and 1 data center publicly running it. NVIDIA GB300 (Blackwell Ultra): 0 robots and 1 data center. Empty here means no operator has said publicly, not zero adoption in the market.
