A Chinese GPU company is finally shipping its own graphics cards. Lisuan has started sending its G100 series processors to customers in China, focusing first on professional digital twin applications. The specific model noted is the 7G106, a gaming-oriented card with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus. It uses a TSMC 6-nanometer process and features 225 watts of power draw.
This card includes an in-house architecture with 96 ROPs and 192 TMUs. It supports PCIe 4.0 and uses a single eight-pin power connector. The company developed its own upscaling technology called NRSS. Early performance benchmarks suggest it could compete with mid-range options from larger brands like NVIDIA and AMD.
A unique potential advantage is native support for Windows on ARM systems, something not yet offered by the established GPU makers. This could help its adoption within China's market. While these first shipments are for professional work, a consumer retail launch is possible early next year. Mass production reportedly started last year.
