Alibaba on Tuesday revealed its next-generation XuanTie C950 5-nanometer processor at an internal conference, the company said in a blog post, as the Chinese tech giant gears up for the shift towards agentic AI.The chip performs more than three times faster than its predecessor, the XuanTie C920. Alibaba is accelerating in-house chip development through its T-Head semiconductor arm, primarily focusing on the Zhenwu 810E chip series for AI training and inference, while the XuanTie series is focused on high-performance cloud systems and agentic AI. The move comes after Alibaba last week launched Wukong, its enterprise platform optimised for AI agent workflows, as companies and institutions throughout China adopt OpenClaw. Is China runnig away from depending on USA?
