Huawei Ascend 950PR's matrix computing speed is only 43% of H100

The semiconductor research organization SemiAnalysis has released the actual test results of Huawei's Ascend 950PR. The organization selected 1,055 sets of commonly used matrix calculations for large models. Huawei's own underlying program has allowed the 950PR to achieve 86% of its theoretical computing power, higher than NVIDIA's H100 at 75.5%; however, the actual computation speed is still only 43% of the H100, and only 21% compared to the relatively newer B300. This set of results has not yet utilized the newly ported operators from DeepSeek.DeepSeek is working on reducing data movement and waiting from the software side. In attention computation, after adjusting storage with FlashMLA, the two sets of data that originally needed to be read separately can now be retrieved at once; TileLang allows the chip to compute while preloading the next batch of data. SemiAnalysis measured that automatic scheduling has reduced the time for some small computing tasks by up to about 40%. DeepSeek has also ported DeepEP, which is responsible for MoE expert communication, but communication and computation will still compete for memory bandwidth, and Huawei plans to continue improving the firmware.Last year, DeepSeek attempted to train R2 using Huawei's Ascend chips, but even with Huawei engineers on-site for assistance, it could not be completed due to issues related to chip stability, inter-card communication, and software support. This year, both parties continue to collaborate, and by the end of September, DeepSeek focused on publicly releasing six sets of Ascend adaptation code. In October, it was reported that Huawei is adjusting the next generation of chip designs according to DeepSeek's model requirements. The 950PR tested this time is mainly aimed at inference input processing, while DeepSeek is preparing to use the 950DT for large-scale pre-training as early as the end of the year. Previously, both parties had conducted tests at the thousand-card level, but to enable tens of thousands of chips to complete a round of large model training continuously, more complex coordination and stability issues still need to be resolved.

H100 increased its holdings by over 2455 BTC, Bitdeer and Sharplink disclosed their second-quarter financial reports

According to BBX data, global listed companies disclosed the following core dynamics regarding cryptocurrency asset allocation and the latest financial performance yesterday:Sweden's H100 treasury increased by 2455.4 bitcoins: The Swedish bitcoin treasury company H100 disclosed that its total bitcoin holdings have significantly increased to 3506 BTC, adding 2455.4 BTC. The official statement indicated that this large increase in holdings was due to a corporate acquisition completed in April this year (the acquisition target was NSDAS), and the newly added bitcoins were obtained directly through this merger transaction.Bitdeer released its Q2 financial report, with total revenue reaching $228.8 million: Bitcoin mining and AI infrastructure company Bitdeer (Nasdaq: BTDR) officially released its Q2 2026 financial report. The data shows that its total revenue for Q2 reached $228.8 million (a year-on-year increase of 47%); adjusted EBITDA was $31.1 million (a year-on-year increase of approximately 576%). In terms of profit, the gross loss for Q2 was $8.5 million (compared to a gross profit of $12 million in the same period last year), with a net loss of $92.28 million; as of June 30, its total cash and restricted cash amounted to approximately $496.3 million.Sharplink recorded $11.16 million in staking revenue for Q2: Ethereum treasury company Sharplink (Nasdaq: SBET) released its Q2 2026 financial report. The company's total revenue reached $11.53 million, achieving significant year-on-year growth, with the core contribution coming from $11.16 million in staking revenue. Affected by fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market, the company reported a net loss of $394.3 million (mainly consisting of a non-cash loss of $321 million in ETH and a provision for impairment of $76.09 million in Ls ETH/we ETH). The company emphasized that the above are all non-cash accounting losses and do not affect the actual ETH holdings. As of June 30, its total cryptocurrency assets were valued at approximately $1.416 billion, with a cash balance of $56.2 million.
