I predicted that Huawei might take advantage of their fabless experience to make their own fabric and start going into mainstream PC CPU along with smartphone's SoC.
I didn't imagine they would be crazy enough to go into GPU, even pro grade, because unlike CPU where the architecture, the various instructions and the micro code is the important part, the real deal with GPU is the drivers which are crazy hard to do, more than the GPU itself.
Though for mass computing, they don't need to handle all the gaming specific stuff such as Anti Aliasing, shaders, per game optimisations and other complicated stuff, here this is more a PCI-E card with many RISC chips that they are more than qualified enough to do thanks to their ARM experience...
So the USA created themselves a huge and fierce rival !

I'm actually a bit confused.
IIRC much of the know-how of building a gpu are already patented by Nvidia and ATI/AMD. You just can't poach some engineers and ask them to build a gpu without infringing some of their patents. Well, I guess you could if you create your own techniques but all of the good stuff of making faster gpu is locked already.

They are in a hurry not having access to the latest cores.
Already in performance the Kirin 990 is lagging as far behind as it always has. No improvement compared to the yearly Snapdragon and Apple chips.
A 20% difference for a flagship SOC is massive.

[deleted post]If they offer more money and better conditions who cares. And Huawei is quite prestigious, they are worldwide no1 network and cellular supplier. Nvidia is nothing but a engineering bureau reliant on tsmc.

More likely to steal Nvidia tech, then tie it up in court while trying to sell in the developing world.

They have been developing this since 2012. During 8 years, you would expect them to show off something in between those time periods. They will probably recruit those Nvidia engineers, copy paste something made by Nvidia, tweak it a little, put a chinese name to it and call it their own revolutionary vision.
