In the CPU field, there are some domestic manufacturers that are able to make high-performance processors. Although they cannot be compared with AMD and Intel, at least they can catch up. In the GPU field, the gap between domestic manufacturers is even greater. No manufacturer's GPU chips can be compared with AMD and NVIDIA's GPUs, especially in the gaming and data center markets.

However, domestic GPUs still have a chance in other fields. Changsha Jingjiawei is one of the domestic companies that develops GPUs. The JM5400 GPU chip it developed previously has replaced the ATI M9 chip on domestic military aircraft. Yesterday, the company announced that the next-generation GPU chip code-named JM7200 was successfully taped out, and this GPU chip will also enter the civilian desktop market.

According to the official website, Changsha Jingjiawei Electronics Co., Ltd. was established in April 2006, with Beijing Maxwell Technology Co., Ltd., Changsha Jingmei Integrated Circuit Design Co., Ltd. and Shijiazhuang Branch. The company is committed to the technology and comprehensive application in the fields of information detection, information processing and information transmission, providing customers with highly reliable and high-quality solutions, products and supporting services. At present, it is the only company in China that has successfully independently developed and industrialized domestic graphics processing chips (GPU). In March 2016, Jingjiawei was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange with the stock code: 300474.

Jingjiawei Corporation is a military-civilian integration company whose products include GPU chips, military radars, etc. Among them, Jingmei series GPU chips are currently their core business, accounting for more than 70% of revenue and profits. In 2014, the company successfully developed the JM5400 GPU chip, which is known as the first high-performance GPU chip in China with independent intellectual property rights. It can be widely used in graphics generation and display with high reliability requirements, and meet the functional and performance requirements of graphics systems in airborne, shipborne and vehicle-mounted environments, and completely replace foreign chips such as M9, M54, M72, M96, IMX6, etc.

JM5400 has been applied in special industries such as domestic military aircraft. Later, Jingjiawei launched a new generation of JM7000 series GPU chips in 2016. The process technology was upgraded from 65nm to 28nm, the capacity of on-chip video memory was increased, and the CPU core was integrated. In terms of function, hardware high-definition decoding capability was added, higher OpenGL versions were supported, and higher-speed bus interfaces were supported. In terms of performance, the image processing capability increased by more than 2 times, and the bus bandwidth increased by hundreds of times.

After JM7000, Jingjiawei is also developing a new generation of high-performance GPU chips. The company announced yesterday that the next GPU chip JM7200 has completed tape-out and packaging, and has successfully completed basic functional testing. The test results meet the design requirements.

The details of Jingjiawei's JM7200 GPU chip are still unknown, but the company's annual report for the first half of the year mentioned that the next-generation GPU chip will have a significant improvement in product performance and process design compared to previous generations, and earlier information mentioned that the JM7200 is still manufactured using a 28nm process.

In addition, in addition to being used in the military and other industries, the company will also enter the consumer desktop market, saying that the JM7200 GPU chip can meet the needs of high-end embedded applications and information security computer desktop applications, and is expected to be used first in party, government and military office computers - don't even think about using it to play games, it is still possible to use it as an office computer.
