Drive Intelligent Transformation with Huawei Chip Power

As Moore's Law gradually approaches the physical limit, traditional x86 architecture-based general purpose computing

products are facing bottlenecks in performance improvement. The scope of the digital world continues to expand and drives

intelligence to even greater depths. To address the contradiction between computing requirements and the slowing CPU

performance improvement in the bit world, Huawei Intelligent Computing Product Line aims at the ultimate efficiency and

agility, and undertakes innovations in the compute, storage, network, and management aspects to better support complex

workloads such as cloud computing, big data, and AI. Huawei servers push beyond the CPU performance limits, and bring a

leap forward in system-level computing performance and management efficiency, tackling enterprises' current IT business

challenges and future service development requirements, and helping enterprises drive down the total cost of ownership (TCO).
