Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:BABA) announced the release of a new, more powerful artificial intelligence chip on Wednesday, as competitor Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) faces difficulties in the Chinese market.
The Zhenwu M890, Alibaba’s latest AI chip, delivers triple the performance of its predecessor, the Zhenwu 810E. The new processor, designed to handle memory-intensive agentic AI workloads, boasts 144 GB of GPU memory and an interchip bandwidth of 800 GB per second, reported CNBC.
At a conference in Hangzhou, Alibaba stated it has already shipped 560,000 Zhenwu units to over 400 customers across 20 industries. This new chip could potentially enhance Alibaba and its chip subsidiary T-Head’s competitiveness in China’s burgeoning domestic AI processor market, which includes rivals such as Huawei and Cambricon.
Alibaba also announced on Wednesday that it will soon launch its next-generation AI model, Qwen3.7-Max.
