Huawei's Ascend chips have reportedly overtaken Nvidia in China's artificial intelligence chip market.

It marks a significant shift in the competitive balance of the AI hardware market.

Huawei has announced plans for two advanced AI chips slated for 2027, putting Nvidia stock in focus as investors weigh rising Chinese competition in the AI semiconductor market.
