By the fourth quarter of next year, Huawei plans to release the Atlas 950 SuperPoD that is powered by 8,192 Ascend neural processing unit (NPU) cards – optimised for AI neural networks and machine learning tasks and applications.
The Atlas 960 SuperPoD, powered by up to 15,488 Ascend 960 NPU cards, will be available by the end of 2027, according to Huawei.
The Atlas 950 and 960 SuperClusters are large-scale computing clusters that comprise multiple Huawei SuperPoDs. The Atlas 950 SuperCluster, available by the end of 2026, will have more than 500,000 Ascend NPUs, while the Atlas 960 SuperCluster will have more than 1 million Ascend NPUs.
With the “world’s most powerful” SuperPoDs and SuperClusters, Huawei has what it takes to provide “abundant computing power for ongoing, rapid advancements in AI, both now and in the future,” Xu said.
