Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei acknowledged that the company’s chips remain one generation behind U.S. counterparts due to U.S. export controls. However, he expressed confidence in overcoming this gap through innovative methods and deep investment in fundamental research. Ren highlighted Huawei’s use of non-traditional approaches—such as cluster computing and non-Moore’s Law techniques—to boost chip performance. For example, Huawei’s AI CloudMatrix 384 system links 384 chips to rival top U.S. systems. One-third of Huawei’s $25 billion R&D budget is dedicated to basic theoretical research, reflecting Ren’s belief that long-term breakthroughs require deep, foundational work.
