The post updates the understanding of the "compute matching" metric in Lingo:
- In the scale-up dimension, the text compares Huawei's roughly 8,192 chips to Nvidia's roughly 72 chips.
- In the scale-out dimension, Huawei's maximum scale is around 500,000 chips, whereas Nvidia's corresponding figure is in the 5,000 range.
The author speculates that for Huawei to approach the scale Nvidia has achieved, it may need to reach the "millions of chips" level.
