More up to date news. It has 12GB of vram and competes with the 4060.
Should be available to buy June 18th.
As highlighted by Fuyou Xiaoji on Xueqiu, Lisuan holds particular significance in China’s semiconductor push. Instead of simply licensing ready-made IP (intellectual property) and assembling components, the company has pursued full-stack self-development, from the instruction set to the computing core—an approach that even major domestic GPU makers such as Cambricon and Moore Threads have yet to achieve.
Very interesting. And releasing a GPU in this day and age is no small feat. Although, I do think Lisuan has implict guarantees from the CCP and companies probably feel. Impelled to engage with Lisuan.
The most important part of the article:
However, as MyDrivers also notes, Geekbench entries for the Lisuan 7G100 series—featuring 32 compute units and only 256MB of VRAM—suggest performance roughly comparable to older GPUs such as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti released about 13 years ago and the AMD Radeon R9 370 from around a decade ago.So no AAA gaming yet. Or AA gaming. Or AI. Or much of anything graphically intensive really, with 256MB of VRAM.
Still, more Competition is always good. I wouldnt exactly call those stats competitive yet though.
What im especially interested in is if they open source their drivers.
Edit: Apparently it has 12GB of VRAM, those stats were wrong.
I don’t see why anyone would have a reason to buy one other than to show support for the company in the hopes that they have a more competitive product in the future.
