Huawei moves 960 AI accelerator launch up to Q1 2027, first with LogicFolding
GlennLuk · x · 2026-09-17
GlennLuk reports Huawei moved production of its next AI accelerator, the 960, from Q4 2027 to Q1, expected as the first AI chip using the LogicFolding approach — notable given AI accelerators' larger die, packaging and power complexity. teortaxesTex counters that real LogicFolding won't land before the 990 (2030/31); GlennLuk accepts that broader Tau Scaling principles, not folding per se, apply here.
