Huawei’s Ascend 950DT could beat Nvidia B300 on tokens per watt, analysis says
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-07-21
A quoted analysis argues that Huawei’s next-gen Ascend 950DT may beat Nvidia’s B300 on tokens-per-watt, while the current CloudMatrix 384 generation is already at parity with the token rates API providers target. The comparison is based on announced specs, assumed power numbers, and calibration from Huawei’s published DeepSeek-R1 serving results, with K3 geometry inferred ahead of the 7/27 weight drop.
