“Huawei will launch a new Ascend AI chip every year over the next three years — the Ascend 950 series in 2026, the 960 in 2027 and the 970 in 2028 — with each generation roughly doubling the computing power of its predecessor.”

First milestone is the Ascend 950PR, slated for Q1 2026; the roadmap resolves fully only with the Ascend 970 in 2028.
