Chinese Nvidia alternatives project massive sales as AI chip demand surges

Chinese chip designers Moore Threads Technology and Hygon Information Technology – both positioning themselves as home-grown alternatives to Nvidia – have projected double- to triple-digit revenue growth for the first half of the year, fuelled by surging domestic demand for AI computing power. Beijing-based Moore Threads, a graphics processing unit (GPU) developer, stated in a stock exchange filing on Thursday that it expected revenue for the period to jump 135.1 per cent to 149.4 per cent year.
