It's the brainchild of Muxi, a chip processing company based in Shanghai, China. Currently, most entities developing GPUs for domestic use in this country are targeting enterprise processing needs or general GPU needs for the majority of consumers. As for Muxi, they plan to release their self-developed gaming graphics card to the market in 2025.Muxi, established in 2020, has been creating high-performance AI research GPUs or basic use GPUs. While the local media describes the CPU industry here as closing the gap with market giants like Intel or AMD, the gap between the Chinese GPU industry and those from the US remains quite significant.Leading GPU industry giants Nvidia and AMD continuously make significant performance leaps with each processor generation. However, in China, there are few products demonstrating a narrowing gap with global competitors.
On several occasions, Chinese developers have introduced promising products, such as the unveiling of the Birentech BR100 GPU with 77 billion transistors, 7nm process, promising to outperform Nvidia's Ampere generation in AI research tasks. However, in terms of consumer use, Birentech's best GPU only delivers performance equivalent to the GTX 1050 or GTX 1050 Ti.According to Muxi's statement, their new GPU architectures will serve high-performance computer systems, data centers, or AI research supercomputers until 2025. Subsequently, consumer-targeted GPU products will be introduced. According to this Shanghai-based company, their GPU architecture will support all necessary virtual world rendering techniques at the current time and support all popular graphics APIs.
Muxi's gaming graphics card will directly compete with Fantasy One and Fantasy Two from the Innosilicon brand, as depicted in the cover and illustration images above. Fantasy One is equipped with up to 16GB VRAM GDDR6X, running on a 128-bit bus interface, delivering a memory bandwidth of 304 GB/s, and supporting all three connections: HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and VGA. The GPU of this graphics card model reaches the 5 Teraflops threshold, equivalent to an RTX 2050, disregarding real-time ray tracing capabilities.Similar to Muxi and Innosilicon, another contender, Zhaoxin, is also planning to enter the GPU market, but will produce solutions with integrated iGPU, akin to what AMD is doing with their Ryzen APUs integrating their Radeon graphics processing cores.According to WCCFTech
