Analyst note
Shaoguan is a Greater Bay Area national hub node under East Data West Computing. China Telecom owns/operates the facility; Alibaba supplies Zhenwu 810E accelerators (96GB HBM2e, T-Head architecture). Companies say the cluster is expected to expand to 100,000 chips; that expansion figure is a plan, not installed capacity.
Physical work is under way and the evidence includes a primary source.
