Moore Threads has invited developers to contribute and work together to improve the recently launched GPU Compute Driver Bench. This fairly fresh release is described as a: "comprehensive performance evaluation suite focused on assessing GPU compute driver performance from practical development and deployment perspectives. It supports both Moore Threads MUSA drivers and CUDA-compatible GPU drivers, enabling fair and repeatable cross-platform evaluation." The Chinese GPU specialist's open-source toolkit was issued via the GitHub platform, late last week, under the Apache 2.0 license. The self-described domestic GPU innovator could become a world contender, with the advent of a new generation of enterprise and entertainment models. The previous mentioning of industry-leading CUDA support is not a big surprise, considering that Moore Threads is headed by a former NVIDIA China exec—Zhang Jianzhong.

At the tail end of January, the firm released the open-sourced TileLang-MUSA project; advertised as cutting code volume by roughly 90%. When detailing this month's GPU Compute Driver Benching suite, the Moore Threads development team focused on several key features. Starting with "realistic workloads," they expect to cover "diverse compute and memory scenarios closely aligned with real-world usage patterns." The multi-dimensional driver evaluation system will weigh up driver performance, resource management, and (aptly) execution efficiency across multiple dimensions. "Standardized metrics and baselines" will provide a methodical platform for the comparison of hardware and software optimizations. "Granular and Holistic Analysis" will enable both "fine-grained subsystem testing and holistic, end-to-end performance assessment." An automated scoring system will measure performance regression tracking across driver and hardware versions.

TechPowerUp today released version 2.69.0 of GPU-Z, the lightweight graphics subsystem information, monitoring, and diagnostic utility. The update adds support for new NVIDIA GPUs, including the GeForce RTX 5090 D V2, RTX 3050 A Mobile, and multiple RTX Pro Blackwell models (5000, 4500, 4000, 4000 SFF, 5000 Mobile, 5000 Embedded, 2000, 1000, and 500). It also updated device ID support for the Quadro P1000, P2000, and RTX 6000. On the AMD side, support has been introduced for the Radeon RX 7400, Radeon 820M iGPU found in Ryzen AI 5 330 processors, Radeon Pro W6600X, Radeon Pro W7800, and Radeon Pro V710. Improvements were also made for AMD Strix Halo platforms.

New Intel support includes Arrow Lake H as well as Arc A380E and A310E graphics. Support for Moore Threads S30 has also been added. This release fixes shader count detection on some unknown AMD and Intel APUs, resolves incorrect clock speed reporting and ReBAR detection on Intel DG1, and addresses OpenCL detection issues on certain AMD devices. It also resolved crashes on unknown AMD GPUs, and overall kernel-mode driver stability has been improved. Grab TechPowerUp GPU-Z from the link below.

Moore Threads, a growing force within China's domestic graphics card development industry, has scheduled its very first MUSA Developer Conference (MDC 2025). The Beijing-based event will kick of on December 19, and wrap up a day later. Earlier today, Zhang Jianzhong—the company's founder, chairman and CEO—issued a pre-game primer. Primarily, his upcoming keynote presentation will focus on full-stack development strategy—utilizing Moore Threads Unified System Architecture (MUSA). The former NVIDIA China executive also mentioned an imminent unveiling of his firm's next-generation GPU design. This teased future technology is set to succeed previous attempts, mostly launched three years ago—TechPowerUp has covered previous-gen "Chunxiao" MTT S80 16 GB (mainstream desktop) and MTT S4000 48 GB (AI workstation-grade) card models in the recent past.

Moore Threads leadership is likely keen ride a large wave of momentum—mostly generated by a $1.1 billion listing, following the company's early December debut IPO. Last week, this valuation buzz generated lofty headlines, with a couple of titles dubbing Moore Threads as the "Chinese NVIDIA." This month's MUSA Developer Conference seems to be aimed at the enterprise market segment, so desktop gaming products are not expected to feature prominently (if at all) during a run through of the Moore Threads hardware roadmap. According to local news reports, Chinese GPU specialists are expected to rapidly respond to NVIDIA's newly-awarded export license—clearing the way for a major injection of H200 data center accelerators into the region.

TechPowerUp today released the latest version of TechPowerUp GPU-Z, the graphics sub-system information and diagnostic utility for gamers and PC enthusiasts. Version 2.68.0 comes with several updates and fixes. To begin with, support is added for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, RTX Pro 2000 Blackwell Laptop, and RTX 3050 A Laptop. Support is also added for Moore Threads S3000E.

With this latest version, TechPowerUp GPU-Z includes a security update for the way the application unpacks its kernel-mode driver. In theory, a timing-based attack could swap the GPU-Z KMD file with a malware driver if timed properly. This replacement file would still need to be digitally signed, so this is not a critical issue, however its fix is nice to have. Next up, is a crash we identified with GPU-Z after running the installer. Lastly, the "Monster Notebook" vendor name has been corrected to Monster Computer. Grab GPU-Z from the link below.

Lisuan Technology announced this week on its official WeChat channel that it has successfully powered on its prototype G100 graphics card. The company describes the G100 as China's first domestically designed 6 nm GPU, marking a significant milestone in its effort to challenge established industry players. With the first silicon now operational, Lisuan is moving into driver development, software validation, and broader system integration testing. Although Lisuan has provided few formal specifications, rumors indicate that SMIC is fabbing the G100 die, currently the only Chinese foundry capable of producing a 6 nm node under US export restrictions. Rumors describe the performance as being on par with NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4060 in mid-range gaming tests, alongside generous onboard memory, efficient power consumption, and support for DirectX 12, Vulkan 1.3, and OpenGL 4.6. If accurate, these features could position the G100 for both gaming and general-purpose GPU workloads.

Founded in late 2021 by a team of former Silicon Valley engineers with more than 25 years of collective chip-design experience, Lisuan Technology is among the youngest entrants in China's graphics-chip sector. It follows Biren Technology (established in 2019) and Moore Threads (established in 2020) in their pursuit of a homegrown alternative to foreign GPU offerings. Beijing's push for semiconductor self-sufficiency has encouraged such ventures, and Lisuan insists its TrueGPU architecture is fully developed in-house rather than licensed from outside sources. The G100 was initially slated for a 2023 launch but encountered financial headwinds that nearly forced Lisuan into bankruptcy in 2024. A $27.7 million capital injection from the parent company, Dongxin Semiconductor, kept development on track through tape-out and early risk-production trials. Lisuan now plans to ship small volumes of G100 cards in the third quarter of 2025, with mass availability more likely in 2026.

Moore Threads has released version 290.100 of its MTT S Series Windows desktop driver; today's freshly published patch notes describe "performance and experience optimizations" for multiple modern games titles. Press coverage of the Chinese graphics card manufacturer's hardware portfolio has concentrated mostly on deficiencies, relative to Western offerings. Despite being the first desktop gaming graphics card to arrive with a PCI Express Gen 5 bus interface, Moore Threads' MTT S80 model has consistently struggled to keep up with mainstream competition. Most notably, their current 200 W TDP-rated flagship—packing 4096 "MUSA" cores—trailed behind AMD Radeon iGPUs, according to March 2024 benchmarks.

The latest Moore Threads driver improvements were tested out internally, prior to public release. Patch notes claim that Infinity Nikki (DirectX 12-only) average frame rates "increased by more than 40%." Another DX12 title was benched—Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding: "average frame rate has increased by more than 50%." The largest upgrade was observed when playing A Plague Tale: Requiem; the MTT engineering team claims that average in-game frame rates climbed by more than 120%. We hope that independent outlets will publish results based on their own testing methodologies, in the near future. Going back to September 2023, Moore Threads boasted about driver update 230.40.0.1 producing a 40% gaming performance uplift for MTT S80 and S70 cards. Outside the gaming sphere, Moore Threads has hinted about its MTT S80 GPU being a high achiever with DeepSeek's R1-Distill-Qwen-7B distilled model.

Moore Threads, a Chinese manufacturer of proprietary GPU designs is (reportedly) the latest company to jump onto the DeepSeek-R1 bandwagon. Since late January, NVIDIA, Microsoft and AMD have swooped in with their own interpretations/deployments. By global standards, Moore Threads GPUs trail behind Western-developed offerings—early 2024 evaluations presented the firm's MTT S80 dedicated desktop graphics card struggling against an AMD integrated solution: Radeon 760M. The recent emergence of DeepSeek's open source models has signalled a shift away from reliance on extremely powerful and expensive AI-crunching hardware (often accessed via the cloud)—widespread excitement has been generated by DeepSeek solutions being relatively frugal, in terms of processing requirements. Tom's Hardware has observed cases of open source AI models running (locally) on: "inexpensive hardware, like the Raspberry Pi."

According to recent Chinese press coverage, Moore Threads has announced a successful deployment of DeepSeek's R1-Distill-Qwen-7B distilled model on the aforementioned MTT S80 GPU. The company also revealed that it had taken similar steps with its MTT S4000 datacenter-oriented graphics hardware. On the subject of adaptation, a Moore Threads spokesperson stated: "based on the Ollama open source framework, Moore Threads completed the deployment of the DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B distillation model and demonstrated excellent performance in a variety of Chinese tasks, verifying the versatility and CUDA compatibility of Moore Threads' self-developed full-featured GPU." Exact performance figures, benchmark results and technical details were not disclosed to the Chinese public, so Moore Threads appears to be teasing the prowess of its MTT GPU designs. ITHome reported that: "users can also perform inference deployment of the DeepSeek-R1 distillation model based on MTT S80 and MTT S4000. Some users have previously completed the practice manually on MTT S80." Moore Threads believes that its: "self-developed high-performance inference engine, combined with software and hardware co-optimization technology, significantly improves the model's computing efficiency and resource utilization through customized operator acceleration and memory management. This engine not only supports the efficient operation of the DeepSeek distillation model, but also provides technical support for the deployment of more large-scale models in the future."

Chinese GPU maker Moore Threads has prepared a professional graphics card called MTT X300, aimed at professional visualization workloads like CAD, BIM, GIS, and video editing. The Moore Threads X300 GPU utilizes second-generation MUSA architecture, featuring 4096 MUSA cores that deliver 14.4 TFLOPS of FP32 computing power. It comes equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, achieving a memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s. The X300 takes advantage of PCIe Gen 5 x16 connectivity and offers versatile display options through three DisplayPort 1.4a ports and one HDMI 2.1 port, supporting resolutions up to 7680 x 4320. All of that comes on a 255 W TGP package.

While the X300 GPU may be a new SKU, it resembles Moore Threads MTT S80 gaming GPU with a different firmware and set of drivers. The new X300 features hardware accelerated decoding for AV1, H.264, H.265, VP8, VP9, AVS, AVS2, MPEG4, and MPEG2, while also providing hardware encoding capabilities for AV1, H.264, and H.265. Given the professional application, the X300 can simultaneously handle up to 36 channels of 1080p@30 FPS video for both encoding and decoding operations while supporting 4-way display output up to 8K resolution. Interestingly, Moore Threads developed drivers for all mainstream CPU architectures such as x86, Arm, and even LoongArch.

According to a recent investigative report, UK-based Imagination Technologies faces allegations of transferring sensitive GPU intellectual property to Chinese companies with potential military connections. The UK-China Transparency organization claims that following its 2020 acquisition by China-controlled investment firm Canyon Bridge, Imagination provided complete access to its GPU IP to Chinese entities with military connections. The report suggests this included sharing detailed architectural documentation typically reserved for premier clients like Apple. At the center of the controversy are Chinese firms Moore Threads and Biren Technology, which have emerged as significant players in China's AI and GPU sectors. The report indicates Moore Threads maintains connections with military GPU suppliers, while Biren Technology has received partial Russian investment.

The organization argues that Canyon Bridge, which has ties to the state-owned China Reform enterprise, helped these technological transfers to benefit China's military-industrial complex. Imagination Technologies has defended its actions, maintaining that all licensing agreements comply with industry standards. The allegations have sparked renewed debate about foreign ownership of strategic technology assets and the effectiveness of current export controls. When Canyon Bridge acquired Imagination in 2020, security experts raised concerns about potential military applications of the firm's technology. UKCT plans to release additional findings, including information from legal disputes involving Imagination's previous management. Rising concerns over technology transfers have prompted governments to reassess export controls and corporate oversight in the semiconductor industry, as nations struggle to balance international commerce with national security priorities. We are yet to see official government response to this situation.

Chinese GPU manufacturer Moore Threads has announced a significant upgrade to its KUAE data center server. The company now has the ability to connect up to 10,000 GPUs in a single cluster, marking a huge leap in its scale-out capabilities for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing applications. The enhanced KUAE server incorporates eight MTT S4000 GPUs, leveraging Moore Threads' proprietary MTLink interconnect technology. These GPUs, based on the MUSA architecture, each feature 128 tensor cores and 48 GB of GDDR6 memory, delivering a bandwidth of 768 GB/s. While the full performance metrics of a 10,000-GPU cluster remain undisclosed, the sheer scale of 1,280,000 tensor cores suggests decent computing potential. Moore Threads' GPUs currently lag behind NVIDIA's GPU offerings in terms of performance. However, the company claims its MTT S4000 remains competitive against certain NVIDIA models, particularly in large language model training and inference tasks.

The Chinese company is facing significant challenges due to its inclusion on the U.S. Department of Commerce's Entity List, restricting access to advanced manufacturing processes. Despite these obstacles, the firm has secured partnerships with major Chinese state-run telecom operators and technology companies, focusing on developing new computing cluster projects. A recent financing round raised approximately $343.7 million will help Moore Threads' ambitious expansion plans. However, limited access to cutting-edge semiconductor fabrication technologies may constrain the company's future growth. Nonetheless, creating a scale-out server infrastructure with up to 10,000 GPUs is vital for LLM training and inference, especially as Chinese AI labs catch up to Western labs in terms of the performance of their AI models.

The Moore Threads MTT S80 first attracted wider media attention last summer due to it being introduced as the world's first PCIe Gen 5 gaming graphics card. Unfortunately, its performance prowess in gaming benchmarks did not match early expectations, especially for a 200 W TDP-rated unit with 4096 "MUSA" cores. Evaluators discovered that driver issues have limited the full potential of MTT GPUs—it is speculated that Moore Threads has simply repurposed existing PowerVR architecture under their in-house design: "Chunxaio." The Chinese firm has concentrated on driver improvements in the interim—mid-February experimentations indicated 100% performance boosts for MTT S80 and S70 discrete GPUs courtesy of driver version 240.90. Germany's ComputerBase managed to import Moore Threads MTT S80 and S30 models for testing purposes—in an effort to corroborate recently published performance figures, as disclosed by Asian review outlets.

The Moore Thread MTT S80—discounted down to $164 last October—was likely designed with MMO gamers in mind. VideoCardz (based on ComputerBase findings) discussed the card's struggles when weighed against Team Red's modern day integrated solutions: "S80 falls short when compared to the Ryzen 5 8600G, featuring the Radeon 760M iGPU with RDNA 3 graphics. A geometric mean across various titles reveals the S80's lag, but there are exceptions, like DOTA 2, where it takes the lead in framerate. It's clear that MTT GPUs (have a) less emphasized focus on supporting AAA titles." ComputerBase confirmed that DirectX 12 API support is still lacking, meaning that many popular Western games titles remain untested on the Moore Threads MTT S80 graphics card. The freshly launched entry-level MTT S30 card produced "1/4 of the performance" when compared to its flagship sibling.

More details are emerging of the elusive Moore Threads MTT S30 entry-level graphics card, which was released earlier this week. VideoCardz reports that the GPU features hardware-accelerated decoding of AV1, besides H.265 and H.264, which should cover all the bases for its use as a streaming content consumption GPU. The card features an HDMI 2.0 port that supports 4K Ultra HD up to 60 Hz. The D-Sub connector tops out at 1920 x 1200. Most Windows-based media applications use Direct3D or DXVA codepaths for accelerated video decode, and so the GPU has some form of DirectX API support, although we still don't know up to which version that is. It also supports OpenGL, which should come in handy with certain Adobe applications that use GL contexts to draw their workspaces. The source also reports a rather attractive retail price of just RMB ¥399, or about USD $55.

Moore Threads, the Chinese company aiming to build a contemporary PC GPU family indigenous to China, formally introduced the MTT S30, an entry-level GPU. Given the performance positioning of the company's flagship MTT S80 GPU even with its recent performance doubling driver update, one can conclude that the MTT S30 isn't quite a gaming GPU. It has a quarter of the unified shaders of the MTT S80, 1/6th its FP32 throughput, and a quarter of its memory size; which means the GPU really is an iGPU replacement that accelerates one or more high-resolution displays for non-gaming productivity workloads, and perhaps some media acceleration.

The Moore Threads MTT S30 features 1,024 unified shaders, an unknown number of tensor accelerators, a 1.30 GHz GPU clock, and 4 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit wide memory bus. The reference design card is single-slot, half-height, and draws all its power from the PCIe slot, given that its power draw is rated at just 40 W. This card has just two display connectors—HDMI and D-Sub. It features a PCI-Express 4.0 x8 host interface.

Moore Threads S80 and S70 discrete GPUs get a doubling in their gaming performance thanks to the latest driver update that seems to re-architect the software end of the graphics pipeline. The new version 240.90 driver update by Moore Threads was testted by Chinese technology publication EJ Hardware to show an over 100% performance gain in synthetic benchmarks such as 3DMark Fire Strike, and doubling in games such as "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3,"" "League of Legends," "Crossfire," "Risk of Rain 2," and "DOTA 2." The performance impact wasn't very pronounced in "Genshin Impact." In DOTA 2, the older 230.11 driver that was causing the S80 to fail the test, is posting an impressive 100% gain over the older drivers. With its launch drivers the Moore Threads S80 was tested to be comparable to a GeForce GTX 1050. This 100% performance boost should change its market positioning.

Chinese chipmaker Moore Threads has launched its first domestically-produced 1000-card AI training cluster, dubbed the KUAE Intelligent Computing Center. A central part of the KUAE cluster is Moore Threads new MTT S4000 accelerator card with 48 GB VRAM utilizing the company's third-generation MUSA GPU architecture and 768 GB/s memory bandwidth. In FP32, the card can output 25 TeraFLOPS; in TF32, it can achieve 50 TeraFLOPS; and in FP16/BF16, up to 200 TeraFLOPS. Also supported is INT8 at 200 TOPS. The MTT S4000 focuses on both training and inference, leveraging Moore Thread's high-speed MTLink 1.0 intra-system interconnect to scale cards for distributed model parallel training of datasets with hundreds of billions of parameters. The card also provides graphics, video encoding/decoding, and 8K display capabilities for graphics workloads. Moore Thread's KUAE cluster combines the S4000 GPU hardware with RDMA networking, distributed storage, and integrated cluster management software. The KUAE Platform oversees multi-datacenter resource allocation and monitoring. KUAE ModelStudio hosts training frameworks and model repositories to streamline development.

With integrated solutions now proven at thousands of GPUs, Moore Thread is positioned to power ubiquitous intelligent applications - from scientific computing to the metaverse. The KUAE cluster reportedly achieves near-linear 91% scaling. Taking 200 billion training data as an example, Zhiyuan Research Institute's 70 billion parameter Aquila2 can complete training in 33 days; a model with 130 billion parameters can complete training in 56 days on the KUAE cluster. In addition, the Moore Threads KUAE killocard cluster supports long-term continuous and stable operation, supports breakpoint resume training, and has an asynchronous checkpoint that is less than 2 minutes. For software, Moore Threads also boasts full compatibility with NVIDIA's CUDA framework, where its MUSIFY tool translates CUDA code to MUSA GPU architecture at supposedly zero cost of migration, i.e., no performance penalty.

The Moore Thread's MTT S80 discrete graphics card is now available as part of a special 11-11 (Single's Day) promotion in China, for the equivalent of USD $164, making it both the world's first PCIe Gen 5 gaming graphics card, and the most affordable one to feature 16 GB of memory. Moore Thread's is a Chinese GPU manufacturer that has been aiming to build a contemporary GPU to grab a slice of the entry-mainstream gaming market in China for a few years now.

Much of the PC gaming scene in China doesn't involve AAA productions in need of the fastest GPU out there, but rather GPUs from the mainstream performance tier—Moore Thread's knows this, and has been reinventing many wheels in the absence of the kind of graphics IP cross-licensing entanglement that exists among NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel. The company's fastest GPU is the MTT S80 launched in late 2022, which has the bragging rights to be the world's first with a PCI Express Gen 5 bus interface. Does it need this kind of bandwidth? We honestly don't know, after seeing how sensitive to PCIe interface and resizable-BAR even mainstream Intel GPUs can be. At launch the performance level of the MTT S80 made it more of a novelty than anything, with performance barely matching a Radeon RX 6400, making it about as fast as the iGPU of AMD's Ryzen 5000G "Cezanne" desktop APUs. This is just enough for China's homebrew MOBAs and MMORPGs that are designed to maximize market reach, and hence tend to contain a lot of pre-baked content.Image Courtesy: Expreview

Moore Threads Technology (MTT), a Chinese GPU manufacturer, is reportedly testing its next-generation graphics processors for client PCs and data centers. The products under scrutiny are the MTT S90 for client/gaming computers and the MTT S4000 for data centers. Characterized by their Device IDs, 0301 and 0323, this could imply that these GPUs belong to MTT's 3rd generation GPU lineup. While few details about these GPUs are available, the new Device IDs suggest a possible introduction of a novel microarchitecture following the MTT Chunxiao GPU series. The current generation Chunxiao series, featuring the MTT S70, MTT S80, and MTT S3000, failed to compete effectively with AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA GPUs.

Thanks to @Löschzwerg who found the Device Hunt submission, we see hardware identifiers in PCI ID and USB ID repositories earlier than launch, as this often signals the testing of new chips or drivers by various companies. In the case of MTT, the latest developments are complicated by its recent inclusion on the U.S. Entity List, limiting its access to US-made technologies. This introduces a problem for the company, as they can't access TSMC's facilities for chip production, and will have to turn to domestic production in the likely case, with SMIC being the only leading option to consider.

Moore Threads latest driver update, 230.40.0.1, is a noteworthy advancement, bringing many improvements and new features, most significantly introducing OpenGL 3.3 support. This inclusion is crucial, as this API was previously incompatible with MTT S70 and S80 GPUs, highlighting MTT's commitment to broadening user experience across various platforms and games. Moreover, the update offers substantial performance enhancements, with notable increases in frame rates in popular games. Valorant supposedly gets a 40% FPS improvement at 1080p, while Project CARS brings a 10% increase. Game engines such as CryEngine v5.7 also receive a 40% performance uplift. However, the release of only percentage improvements without specific framerate values calls for measured optimism, as the tangible impact on playability is yet to be assessed.

Equally important in this update is the emphasis on stability, with many popular titles seeing enhancements for a smoother and more reliable gaming experience. This focus underscores MTT's dedication to maintaining a robust and stable gaming environment on the Windows 10 operating system. Integrating 20 fixes and ongoing resolutions to existing issues mark this update as crucial for users aiming for a refined and seamless experience in graphics-intensive applications and games. The amalgamation of enhanced compatibility, heightened performance, and bolstered stability in this update is pivotal for users looking to maximize graphic and gaming capabilities.

The Moore Threads MTT S80 gaming-oriented graphics card has been tested mostly by Chinese hardware publications, but Japan's PC Watch has managed to get hold of a sample unit configured with 16 GB GDDR6 (14 Gbps) for evaluation purposes and soon published their findings in a "HotHot REVIEW!" The MTT S80 GPU appears to be based on PowerVR architecture (developed by Imagination Technologies), but official Moore Threads literature boasts that their own Chunxaio design is behind all proceedings with 4096 "MUSA" cores. The GPU's clock speed is set at 1.8 GHz, and maximum compute performance has been measured at 14.2 TFLOPS. A 256-bit memory bus grants a bandwidth transfer rate of 448 GB/s. PC Watch notes that the card's support for PCIe Gen 5 x 16 (offering up to 128 GB/s bandwidth) is quite surprising, given the early nature of this connection standard.

Moore Threads has claimed in the past that their cards support Direct X, but PC Watch has discovered that the S80 does not work with DX12, and their tests also demonstrated significant compatibility issues under DX11—with plenty of system freezes and error messages logged. The reviewer(s) had to downshift in some cases to DX9 game environments, in order to gather reliable/stable data. TPU's GPU-Z utility is shown to have no registration information for the S80, and it cannot read the GPU's clock. PC Watch compared their sample unit to an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card—the entry level 2016-era GPU managed to best the newer competition in terms of in-game performance and power efficiency.

Chinese company Moore Threads has unveiled their MTT GPU series just 18 months after the company's establishment in 2020. The MT Unified System Architecture (MUSA) architecture is the first for any Chinese company to be developed fully domestically and includes support for DirectX, OpenCL, OpenGL, Vulkan, and CUDA. The company announced the MTT S60 and MTT S2000 single slot desktop graphics cards for gaming and server applications at a recent event. The MTT S60 is manufactured on a 12 nm node and features 2,048 MUSA cores paired with 8 GB of LPGDDR4X memory offering 6 TFLOPs of performance. The MTT S2000 is also manufactured on a 12 nm node and doubles the number of MUSA cores to 4096 paired with 32 GB of undisclosed video memory allowing it to reach 12 TFLOPs.

Moore Threads joins Intel in supporting AV1 encoding on a consumer GPU with MUSA cards featuring H.264, H.265, and AV1 encoding support in addition to H.264, H.265, AV1, VP8, and VP9 decoding. The company is also developing a physics engine dubbed Alphacore which is said to work with existing tools such as Unity, Unreal Engine, and Houdini to accelerate physics performance by 5 to 10 times. The only gaming performance shown was a simple demonstration of the MTT S60 running League of Legends at 1080p without any frame rate details.
