Chinese AI Chipmaker Cambricon Posts Record Profit as Beijing Pushes Pivot from Nvidia
Cambricon Technologies reports its highest earnings ever as China accelerates efforts to build domestic AI chip capacity amid restrictions on U.S. technology.
Cambricon Technologies, one of China’s leading artificial intelligence chipmakers, has reported record profits as Beijing intensifies its push to reduce reliance on U.S. semiconductor companies such as Nvidia.
The company, founded in 2016, designs high-performance chips used for AI training, cloud computing, and data centers.
According to its latest financial report, Cambricon achieved its highest earnings since its establishment, reflecting strong domestic demand and government-backed initiatives to strengthen China’s semiconductor independence.
This growth comes amid tightened U.S. export restrictions on advanced AI chips, which have limited Chinese companies’ access to Nvidia’s most powerful processors.
Cambricon’s products, including its Siyuan series chips and AI accelerator cards, are increasingly being adopted by major Chinese technology firms and research institutions.
The company has expanded partnerships with cloud providers, telecommunications companies, and universities, bolstering its role in the national drive for self-sufficiency.
China has identified semiconductors as a strategic priority, investing heavily in domestic players like Cambricon to ensure supply security.
The company’s record performance highlights both the rising capabilities of China’s AI hardware sector and the broader pivot away from foreign chip reliance.
