Huawei gaming gpu when?

ZoneDymoHuawei gaming gpu when?

Server GPU and AI not gaming. Who knows, maybe after some time they would strike gaming segment as an expansion if all goes well with the server market

Yeah judging from their previous products I don't have any hope for this to be a gaming graphics card too but who knows maybe in the near future they may be able to compete it that department too.

More backdoors for the CCP.

This is good news. More competition to lower prices and better products (i hope).

We don't need anyone besides original legacy quality Matrox and today's AMD.

Not really since these will be probably limited to China chicom builds.

They really should be called Graphics Accelerators, that way people won't confuse them with mainstream GPUs.

this thing is simply accelerator. it cannot do graphic at all.

for professional space yes. but consumer? no.

To correct that misinformation for you.
The card is specifically a GPGPU
A general-purpose graphics processing unit (GPGPU), is a graphics processing unit (GPU) processor that is used for purposes other than rendering graphics.

But its a start right? Once they have funds, a possible RD will be formed for consumer. Who knows

I know what GPGPU is. But GPU can render 3d application and games aside from doing general computation. Can GV100 render games? Yes we saw that on titan volta. This huawei accelerator can't do that. That's why we don't hear AMD and nvidia make a fuss about it. There are tons other company out there also making AI related hardware. Just becauee huawei poaching some talents from nvidia meaning they will going to make GPU. when it comes to AI hardware nvidia probably have the most experience out there. Right now nvidia have prototype hardware called RC18 that is purely made for AI workload. According to nvidia engineer they can release the chip as it is or include them inside their gpu architecture in the future. It is more like an asic instead of GPGPU much like tensor cores.

But to make

But to make their own GPU they need their own GPU IP or license them from existing player. I don't think they have any GPU related IP. ARM only license ready made GPU design not allow other people use their IP to create their own GPU. same with imagination. Hence when apple try to build their own GPU they enter into legal issue with imagination before because apple does not have GPU IP of their own. And imagination also did not allow others to use their IP to create their own GPU. maybe they can help you to make custom gpu for your need but not building your own. ARM and imgination business model are more or less the same when it comes to licensing their GPU.

I think the Huawei GPU can render 3D but less efficient so there is no point. The Threadrippers can render Crysis by itself. Of course the quality of an image and speed is poor. Does this mean they are GPUs? No, they are not and yet TR can do that.
