Chinese Big Tech to Deploy Supernode Solutions at Scale in H2 2026; Huawei, Sugon Launch 1024-Card Products

Chinese large internet companies plan large-scale deployment of supernode solutions in the second half of 2026. Huawei and Sugon have already demonstrated 1024-card products, with Huawei set to deliver 8192-card supernodes by Q4 2026. Over 750 sets of Huawei's 384-card supernode have been deployed across industries. Sugon's 640-card liquid-cooled supernode achieved 90% utilization at a national supercomputing hub. The shift to inference-driven workloads (5:1 to 10:1 ratio) is accelerating adoption, as supernodes deliver 10x performance with only 2x power consumption and 30-50% improvement in PD separation scenarios.

China's First Domestic 100,000-Card AI Supercomputing Cluster Shuguang 8000 Goes Live

China's first fully domestic 100,000-card AI supercomputing cluster, Shuguang 8000, has been officially launched and connected to the National Supercomputing Internet's Zhengzhou core node. In its first week, it operated at full capacity, processing over 150,000 jobs daily with a peak of over 500,000. The system was listed among the top ten treasures at the 2026 World AI Conference. Comprising 30 billion electronic components, over 1,600 km of cables, and weighing 1,500 tons, it achieves assembly precision under 0.05 mm. Its distributed storage technology topped the IO500 benchmark in two categories. The cluster uses immersion cooling and supports diverse applications including large model training, scientific computing, and industrial simulation.

NVIDIA Adjusts RTX 50 Series Pricing: Domestic Series Up 15%-25%, RTX 5060 Ti Non-Reference Models Surge

NVIDIA last week notified AIC partners of a comprehensive price adjustment for RTX 50 series graphics cards. Domestic AIC partners suspended quotes until 3pm today, then resumed with a 15%-25% price increase across the entire series. The RTX 5060 Ti non-reference models saw a single-day surge of nearly 2000 yuan. The main driver is rising GDDR7 memory costs, which have compressed margins and forced an official price adjustment. The new pricing will be fully implemented in August.

ChangXin Memory's 57.9B Yuan STAR IPO Revives Qimonda Tech; Xi'an Unisemicon Files for BSE

ChangXin Memory Technologies raised 57.919 billion yuan in its STAR Market IPO on July 27, becoming the largest IPO in the board's history with a market cap of 3.27 trillion yuan after a 465.82% first-day surge. A month earlier, Xi'an Unisemicon filed for a Beijing Stock Exchange listing. Both companies trace their technology roots to Qimonda, the German DRAM maker that went bankrupt in 2009. ChangXin follows an IDM model with three 12-inch fabs, while Unisemicon operates as a fabless chip designer focusing on niche DRAM markets.

Huawei Plans Mass Production of Glass Substrate AI Chips by 2027, Collaborates with BOE and Local Supply Chain

Huawei plans to mass-produce AI chips using glass substrate technology by 2027, collaborating with domestic suppliers including BOE and Visionox. It will also import key materials from South Korea to ensure process maturity. Glass substrates offer advantages in flatness, thermal stability, and power efficiency, helping Huawei compensate for limited access to EUV lithography through advanced packaging. With Nvidia largely exiting China due to regulatory pressures, Huawei now holds about 60% of the domestic AI chip market.
