With the increasingly fierce competition in the global semiconductor industry, the development of domestic GPUs has received widespread attention. Recently, Wuhan LINGJIU Microelectronics Co., Ltd (hereinafter referred to as "LINGJIU Micro") announced that its self-developed second-generation graphics processor (GPU) GP201 has realized the mass production of the market, the news in the industry has caused a lot of shock.
The GP201 GPU has a core frequency of 1200MHz and supports dynamic frequency tuning technology, a maximum of 32GB of video memory, and a data transfer rate of up to 4,266Mbps. The GPU has a single-precision floating-point arithmetic of 1.2 Tflops, supports 4K 60Hz display and H.265 decoding, and the maximum power consumption of the GPU is controlled at 30W, which demonstrates an excellent energy-efficiency ratio. LINGJIU Micro has already launched five graphics products including full-height, half-height, and MXM form factors to meet the diverse needs of the market.
The GP201 GPU not only delivers outstanding performance, but also places special emphasis on compatibility and support for the domestic hardware and software ecosystem. It supports a variety of domestic processors including Longxin, Feiteng, Shenwei, Haikuang and Kunpeng, as well as operating systems such as Kirin, UOS, VxWorks, Yihui, Tianxin and Ruihua. In addition, GP201 is compatible with IBM VGA standard and VESA standard, supports OpenGL 4.0, OpenCL 1.2/3.0 and OpenGL ES 3.2 standards, and has rich display interfaces including 4-channel TMDS, 4-channel DP/eDP, 2-channel DVO, and 1-channel VGA, which is able to meet the needs in different scenarios.
Although LINGJIU Microelectronics is a recently established company, its core team has nearly two decades of experience in GPU and SOC chip development. The company's overall technology level is leading in China, and it has won the support of many national projects and several awards. LINGJIU Micro has the top GPU and SOC R&D team in China, with 95% of the staff with master's degree or above, more than 40 authorized patents and more than 30 patents under application. Its GPU products have been widely used in commercial computers, national information security and high-reliability electronic devices.
The successful mass production of GP201 not only proves the breakthrough of domestic GPU in technology, but also provides a broad space for the application prospect of domestic chips in the field of graphics processing. With the growing domestic demand for high-performance computing chips, domestic GPUs represented by GP201 are expected to play a more important role in the future market and promote the continuous development and innovation of the domestic semiconductor industry.
The mass production and market launch of ADLINK's GP201 GPU is an important symbol of the improvement of China's semiconductor industry's capability of independent innovation, and a big step in the process of domestic substitution. In the future, with the continuous maturity of domestic GPU technology and further development of the market, domestic GPU will show its unique value and charm in more fields.
