Huawei doing what the West won't, smashing the product segmentation niches. 96GB is what counts here. Being able to fit a good model is more important than speed, for many folks.
Also worth trying to better compare on efficiency. I don't know how this shakes up, but TOps/W is another figure of merit that also matters a lot, maybe more than absolute TOps count. I don't know how good 1.86TOps/W measures up here, but knowing that this is 150W is quite time where-as a 4090 or whatever is way way more reasonable than how most cards get built.
