Moore Threads Prepares MTT X300 Professional Graphics Card

[AleksandarK]

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.

The name is beyond funny, someone was a fan of intel’s Moore.

Regardless of what you think about China, the country needs to break their dependence on United States technology. These solutions are a further step in that direction.

The amount of flops is pretty much twice a RX580 - or a single 6700XT. That last one consumes only 180W or so.

They have a long way to go still.

They have a long way to go still.

A very, very long way.
Performance of the base, "gaming" card was lackluster, and standards conformance was abysmal, iirc.
They were making some strides, but still far from producing a product that can stand on its own in an open market.

Perhaps if they focused solely on OpenGL/Vulkan, they would get there faster.

This is interesting! And makes more sense from a software support stand point too! Actually supporting games is much more challenging and scale dependent than productivity! Because there are hundreds thousands of games but only a handfull of DCC packages that they have to optimize for so in productivity they can play catch up much faster than gaming. I hope hardware youtubers and @AleksandarK Techpowerup can get their hands on this gpu and test performance on Blender / Plasticity etc.

Maybe its pronounced Moooaarrr??

No more copying

the US was notorious for patent breaking in the early days of the country, google it.

When has china last did something of their own volition?

Wonder how good that video encoding / offloading engine is in terms of CPU hit and quality... credit where it's due, they tried to tick off every main feature.
Would be a pity if power consumption of card when doing accelerated encode was higher than CPU and worse quality.
