Alibaba admits the nearly 500,000 chips it made are weaker than NVIDIA's

Alibaba has acknowledged that the nearly 500,000 chips it produced are not as powerful as NVIDIA's chips. The Chinese tech giant's Hanguang 800 AI chip is reported to be less powerful than NVIDIA's T4 GPUs. This admission comes after Alibaba's claims that its chip could outperform GPUs in certain AI tasks. The weaker performance of Alibaba's chips raises questions about the company's ability to compete with established players in the AI chip market.
