I noticed today the Tom’s Hardware has been keeping track of Chinese GPU developments.
- 2022-12: The Rise of China GPU Makers: AI and Tech Sovereignty Drive New GPU Entrants
- 2023-03: China’s First Domestic GPU Announced With 1080p League of Legends Demo
- 2023-08: Huawei’s GPU Reportedly Matches Nvidia’s A100
- 2024-04: China gives local companies funding to buy homegrown GPUs — aiming for self-sufficiency by 2027
- 2024-05: Chinese-made GPU beats performance of 10-year-old integrated AMD graphics — Lingjiu GP201 hits mass production
They don’t have a tag for tracking Chinese GPUs in particular, but they have one for GPU news in general.
China also seems to have some interesting embargo work-arounds:
- 2024-05: Cracked GPUs pop up in Frankensteined Chinese discrete graphics cards built from RTX 4080M and RTX 4090M mobile chips
- 2024-05: China firms’ AI breakthrough can meld GPUs from different brands into one training cluster — Baidu says new tech fuses thousands of GPUs together to help sidestep shortages
It’s been amazing to watch just how quickly China is catching up with chip making.
