Tianshu Intelligent Chip Unveils Plan to Surpass NVIDIA GPUs
The Tianshu Intelligent Chip company has introduced a strategic plan which aims to develop technology that will deliver performance gains beyond what NVIDIA currently offers with its GPUs. The company aims to provide high-end general-purpose GPU chips and supercomputing systems.
Architecture and Performance Goals
The company has established a multi-year period to achieve performance levels which will surpass both present and future NVIDIA GPU designs.
- 2025: The Tianshu Tianshu architecture is planned to surpass NVIDIA's Hopper (H200 series).
- 2026: The Tianshu Tianxuan architecture will rival NVIDIA's Blackwell (B200).
- 2026: The Tianshu Tianji architecture aims to surpass Blackwell.
- 2027: The Tianshu Tianquan architecture is expected to surpass NVIDIA's Rubin.
The company will concentrate on creating new computing chip architecture designs after it enters the year 2027.
New Edge Computing Products
Tianshu Intelligent Chip introduced its "Tongyang" edge computing product line together with its planned development route. The company's TY1000 product demonstrated superior performance to the NVIDIA AGX Orin during tests which involved computer vision natural language processing and deep learning with the DeepSeek 32B large model.
Market Position and Competitors
Tianshu Intelligent Chip operates its business as a provider of advanced general-purpose GPU chips and supercomputing solutions. The company uses this focus to create unique market position which separates it from Chinese GPU manufacture competitors such as Biren Technology and Moore Threads.
- Biren Technology: Focuses on high-performance general-purpose GPUs for integrated training and inference chip architecture.
- Moore Threads: Develops full-featured GPUs and related products for a broader range of applications, including AI, digital twins, and desktop graphics.
Tianshu Intelligent Chip had dispatched more than 52000 GPUs to 290 clients by mid-2025. The company's main clients operate in the financial and medical sectors.
