Dongxin Co., Ltd. Invests Heavily in Shanghai Lisuan: A Strategic Move in GPU Technology
In a significant development within the tech sphere, Dongxin Co., Ltd. has announced a joint investment plan with several prominent partners in Shanghai Lisuan. This strategic investment, totaling approximately RMB 500 million, marks a pivotal moment for both companies as they aim to enhance their positions in the competitive GPU market.
Strategic Investment Overview
Dongxin plans to contribute around RMB 211 million of its own capital towards this initiative, alongside funds managed by Hengtong Group Co., Ltd., Shanghai Daohe Long-term Investment Management Co., Ltd., and other stakeholders. Following this capital increase, Dongxin will hold approximately 35.87% equity in Shanghai Lisuan.
This isn’t Dongxin’s first foray into investing in Shanghai Lisuan. Back in August 2024, the company initially injected RMB 200 million into Lisuan Technology, securing a 37.88% stake. This latest investment reflects a continued commitment to advance their collaborative efforts within the technology sector.
Introducing the 7G100 Series GPU
Shanghai Lisuan recently unveiled their first GPU product line, the 7G100 series, which stands at the forefront of high-performance graphics technology. The 7G100 series is built on the self-developed TrueGPU Tiantu architecture, ensuring that every component—from the instruction set to the computing core—is designed independently by Lisuan Technology.
Capabilities of the 7G100 Series
This new GPU series supports a range of operational tasks, including:
- Single-Precision Floating Point (FP32): Ideal for high-precision scientific computing and professional graphics rendering.
- Half-Precision Floating Point (FP16): Balances performance and power consumption, making it suitable for AI inference and certain graphics tasks.
- 8-Bit Integer (INT8): Optimized for low-precision applications, enhancing energy efficiency for AI inference and lightweight model operations.
The 7G100 series is notably a fully self-developed 6nm architecture GPU, emphasizing Lisuan’s innovation and independence in design and implementation.
Performance Metrics and Features
The Lisun 7G100 series is said to achieve both "international mainstream and domestic leading levels" in efficiency and performance. Key features include:
- Intelligent Multitasking: Capable of executing up to 48 tasks simultaneously without dependencies, maximizing GPU utilization.
- Out-of-Order Rendering: Enhances rendering efficiency by 50% in scenes lacking dependency, leading to improved performance in various applications.
- Hardware-Level Intelligent Allocation: Supports dual transmission of instructions, ensuring efficient processing.
Testing and Industry Response
Dongxin Co., Ltd. has confirmed that delivery and testing of the 7G100 series GPU products are currently underway. The testing phase will involve selected customers and evaluation media to assess the GPU’s performance in real-world scenarios. Early evaluations show that the 7G100 series is performing well in established GPU benchmarks, effectively handling large 3A games and demonstrating robust AI computing capabilities.
This impressive performance will likely position the 7G100 series as a strong contender in both the consumer and professional markets, underscoring its commercialization potential and competitiveness.
Conclusion
Dongxin Co., Ltd.’s substantial investment in Shanghai Lisuan signifies a robust commitment to advancing GPU technology. As the industry evolves, this partnership holds the promise of driving innovation and performance in high-performance graphics computing. With the successful rollout of the 7G100 series GPU, both companies are poised to make a considerable impact on the market.
