Unveiling the secrets of Fenghua-2’s multiple innovative breakthroughs

At the new product launch, Ao Hai, president of Innosilicon, said that it is the mission of the Innosilicon GPU team to bring Fenghua GPU into thousands of households, empower colorful life in the future, and change the history of domestic GPU commercialization without cores. Mission accomplished is the consistent style of Innosilicon people. "Fenghua 2" is a desktop and notebook GPU that integrates ultra-low power consumption, powerful rendering, 4K high-definition three-screen display, 4K video decoding and intelligent AI computing, and has achieved innovative breakthroughs in multiple self-developed technologies.

▲ Fenghua 2 supports three-screen high-definition display (demonstration scenes include CAD drawing, high-definition video, and Manhattan)

First of all, the measured energy efficiency ratio of Fenghua 2 is leading. In the Tongxin 4K desktop environment, Fenghua 2 runs in low power consumption mode. Innosilicon engineers demonstrated various typical desktop rendering applications such as Kingsoft WPS, video websites, ZWCAD, glmark, etc. on site, and the operation was smooth; even when multiple applications were turned on at the same time, the working power consumption was only about 4 watts, and its energy efficiency ratio was far better than the products with the same computing power on the market . Such low-power independent graphics card GPUs are rare in the global market. The low heat dissipation requirements greatly increase the reliability of the system, and can support fanless design, notebooks and MXM all-in-one computers.

In addition, Fenghua 2 has outstanding rendering capabilities, a pixel fill rate of 48GPixel/second, FP32 floating point computing power of 1.5TFLOPS, and leading benchmark scores. Engineers demonstrated on-site that Fenghua 2 scored over 6500 in the GLmark2 benchmark test under the Kirin operating system . Through the Unigine Heaven heavy benchmark test, the capabilities of OpenGL4.3 were fully demonstrated, and the rendering effect of tessellation was highlighted during the demonstration, with a three-dimensional image. At the same time, Fenghua 2 also supports 4K-level three-screen high-definition display, and has excellent performance in office Internet videos, multimedia entertainment, and GIS applications. On-site engineers also improvised to play the latest heavyweight racing game under Linux, with smooth and realistic pictures and excellent rendering capabilities, which will surely be a boon for gamers and geeks.

Fenghua 2 has also achieved multi-platform compatibility. It has completed mutual authentication with Tongxin and Kirin operating systems, and fully supports mainstream domestic CPU platforms such as Feiteng, Loongson, Shenwei, Haiguang, Zhaoxin, and Kunpeng. It demonstrated the real-time rendering of the sky GIS spatial map on the Feiteng D2000+Tongxin system, and the pictures are vivid and immersive. What is even more surprising is that Fenghua 2 has smoothly supported Microsoft Win10 DirectX graphics framework. Zhang Tao, chief software architect of DirectX of Innosilicon Technology, said, "Windows DirectX 11 strictly requires support for various advanced rendering technologies including surface subdivision, which is extremely difficult to develop. So far, only a few companies in the world have GPUs that support Windows DirectX 11." Engineers demonstrated various applications such as QQ communication, office Internet access, and entertainment games under the Win10 operating system, perfectly realizing the smooth rendering of various complex scenes and the detailed presentation of surface subdivision. The 3D rendering performance can fully meet the needs of daily work and entertainment, and has strong one-stop applicability.

How can the water be so clear? It comes from a source. The performance advantage of Fenghua 2 is not out of thin air. It embodies many of the world's top high-performance computing IPs that Innosilicon has been ingeniously polishing for 16 years. Just as Fenghua 1 uses the world's first GDDR6/6X Combo high-performance IP, which makes its memory bandwidth leading, Fenghua 2 reproduces Innosilicon's black technology and develops the world's first LPDDR5X memory technology with the highest speed. It reaches a new high of 10Gbps bandwidth at desktop-level low power consumption, helping the performance of Fenghua 2 graphics cards to break through, and is backward compatible with LPDDR5/4, supporting domestic Changxin's memory particles. The self-developed rate of the "Fenghua 2" GPU is very prominent. Technologies such as PCIe3.0, LPDDR5/4, HDMI2.0/DP/eDP1.4/VGA, and China's patented physically unclonable PUF security technology are all self-developed advantageous technologies that have been authorized by Innosilicon for a long time. The Innosilicon GPU core continues to optimize itself after obtaining the architecture authorization. It is precisely because the team has strong IP self-development capabilities that it has the innovation capabilities of the full-stack underlying core technology, thus achieving a leading surpassing. It is also due to the advantages of Innosilicon's interface technology that its products are very universal. The board supports memory, video memory, and power management chips such as Changxin and Changcun, becoming a graphics card product with a prominent domestic self-developed rate from IP to board. The product has superior performance and has achieved a milestone breakthrough. In addition, the AI ​​computing capabilities of the "Fenghua 2" graphics card were also demonstrated on site, supporting scientific/edge computing, AI performance exceeding 12.5TOPS, supporting real-time applications in multiple scenarios such as face recognition, target recognition, semantic segmentation, and image super-resolution, exceeding the AI ​​computing level of traditional low-power desktop graphics cards.

The comprehensive performance of Fenghua 2 is comparable to that of mainstream international graphics cards in various standard tests and demonstrations, which aroused the amazement of the audience. Many industry insiders personally went to the demonstration room to operate the Fenghua 2 desktop system and confirmed that they had a satisfactory experience! An end customer said with approval, " A domestic graphics card that achieves low power consumption and low cost while ensuring high performance of the product, and can also support fanless design. Not only does it feel smooth when rendering heavily on Linux and Android operating systems, but it also supports Windows 10 very smoothly. It is unexpected that a lot of effort has been put into it . The performance of Fenghua 2 is really amazing, and it is not easy! This also shows that domestic GPUs are entering a stage from being usable to being easy to use, and in the future, the graphics card experience of ordinary users of domestic GPUs will be taken to a higher level."

Fenghua series GPUs signed contracts, reaching milestone in mass application

At the press conference, the stunning performance of Fenghua 2 attracted praise from a number of upstream and downstream partners, and the atmosphere was hot and enthusiastic. Many customers expressed their intention to cooperate and purchase on the spot. At the conference, upstream and downstream partners such as China Energy Construction Investment, Gaolan Holdings (300499), Tongxin Software, Kylin Software, Zeta Cloud, and UCloud (688158) signed contracts with Innosilicon on the spot, reaching a long-term and in-depth strategic cooperation on Fenghua series GPUs in the fields of desktop, data center and cloud computing, and jointly committed to the software and hardware innovation and commercialization of domestic GPUs. The scale of the signed cooperation reached 500 million yuan.

A partner said, "Innosilicon is a company that does great things quietly. Every time it releases a product, it is not for show to raise funds. Instead, it is a breakthrough heavyweight product that truly goes straight to the commercial theme. The previous 'Fenghua No. 1' showed us its broad prospects in the 5G data center cloud scenario, and the current 'Fenghua No. 2' lives up to expectations. The rendering is smooth under multiple desktop operating systems, and the edge computing and energy efficiency ratio are not inferior to similar international competitors. The team is full of innovative vitality, which makes partners full of confidence. People choose Innosilicon and Fenghua products not just driven by domestic sentiment."
