NVIDIA is shifting its CPU strategy from internal use only to a dual approach—serving both its own needs and external customers. This transformation begins with the Vera CPU, based on the Arm instruction set and NVIDIA’s custom architecture. This marks NVIDIA’s direct challenge to Intel and AMD, while also competing against other Arm-based custom processors. Rosa CPU – Coming in 2028 According to NVIDIA’s roadmap, the next step after Vera is the Rosa CPU, expected in 2028. The name “Rosa” is short for Rosalyn, honoring Nobel Prize–winning medical physicist Rosalyn Sussman Yalow (1921–2011). She pioneered radioimmunoassay technology, enabling detection of viruses, hormones, and drug levels in blood without biological assays. Remarkably, she waived patent rights, allowing global free adoption. Despite...
As a rising star in China’s GPU industry, Lisuan Technology showcased its LX eXtreme series at the AWE 2026 exhibition, presenting four distinct graphics cards alongside workstations and servers, with live demonstrations of both gaming and professional applications. The company announced that the gaming card LX 7G100 will debut on JD.com during the 618 shopping festival, while three professional cards—LX MAX, LX PRO, and LX ULTRA—will be available for pre-order starting March 17. Notably, all Lisuan GPUs are built on the self-developed TrueGPU architecture, featuring an independent instruction set and IP rights. This fully in-house design took four to five years to develop but ensures complete control over the technology stack, making driver development and system/software adaptation smoother. Compatibility has...
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has officially announced on social media that the TeraFab trillion-scale chip factory will begin operations in seven days. This ambitious wafer fab aims for an annual output of 100–200 billion chips, with the goal of surpassing Taiwan’s TSMC capacity and becoming one of the largest fabs in the world. In a surprising twist, Musk declared that the factory will not include cleanrooms. He even joked about eating cheeseburgers and smoking cigars inside, discarding long-established semiconductor industry norms. For Musk, the motivation is clear: Tesla’s demand for chips has far outstripped supply. With the AI boom driving global chip shortages, Tesla faces severe constraints. As autonomous driving technology spreads, Tesla’s annual demand for AI chips could reach...
In April, REDMI will launch its performance flagship K90 Supreme Edition. The biggest highlight of this device lies in the hardcore combination of the Dimensity 9500 processor and an active cooling fan. This is not only Xiaomi’s first smartphone equipped with an active cooling system, but also the most powerful Dimensity-based flagship in REDMI’s history. Reportedly, the K90 Supreme Edition embeds a precision fan within its compact body. To complement this fan, the R&D team designed a complete set of dedicated air intake and exhaust channels. By leveraging physical air convection, the system can quickly dissipate heat from the core motherboard area. This aggressive cooling solution ensures that the flagship chip does not throttle during operation. In high-load scenarios such...
As GDC 2026 approaches, NVIDIA has not announced any new gaming GPUs or graphics cards (the RTX 50 SUPER series is officially dead), but it did share an interesting slide. NVIDIA claims that the path-traced ray tracing performance of the Blackwell RTX 50 series is already 10,000 times greater than in the past, and in the future, it will rise to a staggering 1,000,000 times. However, NVIDIA did not specify when this would be achieved, and the claim comes with some caveats. First, the baseline for these multipliers is not the first-generation hardware ray tracing cards (Turing RTX 20 series), but rather the Pascal GTX 10 series, which had no ray tracing engine and could only run software-based simulations. NVIDIA...
In the fourth quarter of 2025, vivo ranked first among Chinese brands in shipments, and in actual retail sale-out data it has maintained the lead for two consecutive years. The simultaneous launch of the vivo X300 series and iQOO 15 series helped vivo secure a top-three position among domestic brands in the high-end market above $600. At the same time, the S series and iQOO models ensured competitiveness in the mainstream price segment. OPPO followed closely in second place among Chinese brands. In Q4, OPPO stood out among leading domestic brands, becoming the only one to achieve year-on-year shipment growth of more than 10%. Thanks to the popularity of the Find X9 series, especially the Pro version with a significantly...
The United States is poised to approve exports of NVIDIA’s H200 AI chip to China, which will be the most powerful chip NVIDIA can provide to the Chinese market. According to the latest reports, the key factor behind this decision is the U.S. government’s assessment that the national security risks are relatively low, since Huawei—NVIDIA’s main competitor in China—already offers AI systems with comparable performance. Sources revealed that in evaluating whether to approve H200 exports, the U.S. considered multiple scenarios, ranging from a complete ban on AI chip sales to China, to allowing all products to flood the Chinese market and overwhelm Huawei. Ultimately, the policy backed by President Trump is to approve H200 sales to China, while reserving NVIDIA’s...
