Epoch's estimate suggests China's constraint is chip supply and efficiency rather than land or power, which shapes where frontier-scale training can realistically happen and how much capacity Chinese cloud customers can buy.\n\n[Ben Cottier (@benmcottier)](https://x.com/benmcottier?ref=runtimewire), a senior researcher at Epoch AI, estimates that Huawei's Horinger campus in Inner Mongolia holds roughly 7% of the computing capacity of Colossus 2 in Tennessee. Horinger is one of the largest AI data centers in China by computing capacity, according to his report, published November 6th.…\n\nWhen you purchase through links in our articles, [we may earn a small commission](https://runtimewire.com/affiliate-monetization-standards).
