Lisuan Technology achieved a significant milestone with its G100 graphics processor, which surpassed NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4060 in OpenCL performance testing. The Chinese-manufactured card delivered 111,290 points when paired with an AMD Ryzen 5 7600 processor, outperforming the RTX 4060's 101,028 score. However, the G100 remained behind NVIDIA's newer RTX 5060, which achieved 120,916 points in the same benchmark. This represents substantial progress from earlier testing, where the G100 failed to exceed performance levels of the decade-old GTX 660 Ti graphics card. Chinese graphics card manufacturers have struggled with driver optimization issues, but Lisuan appears to have developed more capable software solutions.
The G100 features 12GB of video memory, likely GDDR6 technology, with 48 compute units and a maximum operating frequency of 2000 MHz. Manufacturing occurs on 6nm silicon process technology, presumably through SMIC facilities, demonstrating reliance on domestic production capabilities. This marks the first competitive consumer graphics solution from China's semiconductor industry. Market impact could prove substantial if the G100 reaches retail availability. The achievement represents progress for Chinese companies seeking to reduce dependence on AMD and NVIDIA products in domestic markets.
