Citing Reuters, Chinese AI chipmakers are raising prices due to HBM supply shortages, with Huawei raising the price of its Ascend 950DT to $250K-level.
The move reflects tight HBM supply and strong domestic demand for compute as Nvidia's China access remains constrained — a key signal for China's AI compute supply chain economics.
