Chinese GPU Maker Demos Its Next-Gen Fuxi A0 GPU Based on Imagination DXD GPU IP: Features 5nm Core, 12 GB VRAM, Ray Tracing & Super-Res Support​

The Chinese Fuxi A0 GPU is based on a 5nm Imagination DXD Graphics IP, offering Ray Tracing & Super Resolution support.

China's Fuxi A0 GPU Is Ready For Mass Production: 5nm, Ray Tracing & Super-Resolution Ready With Imagination DXD GPU IP.​

China-based GPU company, Xiang Dixian, has unveiled its brand new product, the Fuxi A0 graphics card. The graphics card was put up on display and was even demoed during the recent ICCAD Expo held in Chengdu, China. The most interesting part about this graphics card is that it leverages a next-gen DXD GPU IP from Imagination Technologies.

Imagination Technologies made a brilliant appearance at the 31st ICCAD-Expo 2025 exhibition held in Chengdu recently. As an important partner, Imagination Technologies showcased its new generation of GPU graphics cards independently developed based on the Imagination DXD architecture.

As the only mass-produced IMG DXD architecture product currently available, this graphics card boasts more than double the overall rendering performance of its predecessor. It can not only run large-scale 3D graphics applications smoothly, but also demonstrated various complex 3D digital twin demos on-site, while simultaneously showcasing next-generation graphics processing technologies such as ray tracing and super-resolution.

Imagination Technologies has various graphics IPs such as DXTP, DXS, DXD, and DXT. The closest one to a standard desktop-tier architecture is the DXD GPU IP, which has already been utilized by Chinese graphics manufacturers such as Innosilicon. Now, Xiang Dixian has showcased its own take on the Imagination GPU IP, leveraging a brand new architecture based on a 5nm process technology.

As per previous reports, the Fuxi chips are expected to produce up to 160 TFLOPs of compute power and offer 12 GB of memory. From the pictures, we can see that the graphics card features a dual-slot and dual-fan design. The PCB seems to offer 4 Physical DRAM sites, though we cannot confirm from the one picture that is available.

Based on initial specifications, the Fuxi GPU series will come in two flavors, the A0 and B0. The Fuxi A0 was demoed at the expo, and the company claims it offers performance rivaling that of overseas graphics cards while also supporting features such as ray tracing and super resolution (upscaling). The A0 variant will focus on rendering and gaming, while the B0 variant will combine the GPU with an NPU that offers FP8 capabilities.

The chipmaker also stated that the A0 model is capable of running Black Myth: Wukong at a very good frame rate. There was a demo being shown at the booth, which featured a ray-traced scene, and the GPU managed around 35 FPS on average.

Xiang Dixian has a long history of producing graphics cards based on previous Imagination Technologies IPs, such as the XDX 121, XDX 151 for desktops, XDX R1900 for workstations, and XDX X1900 for servers. So with this new offering, the company is going to offer an even faster and modern graphics card with the latest Imagination Technologies GPU IP. We expect to see a launch sometime next year as the GPUs are expected to enter mass production soon.


 
Wow, that's pretty good:

RTX Pro 6000 is rated for 120 TFLOPS at FP32: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/rtx-pro-6000-blackwell-server-edition/

Though for AI use, the Fuxi A0 may still be a bit limited with 12GB of memory. I can't determine if the HBM2 memory is stacked or not, but at 12GB probably not as much bandwdith as the 512-bit GDDR7 on the RTX Pro card.

Pro 6000 uses a 750mm2 die on a (presumably) better process. The Fuxi card OTOH also doesn't look very large - indicating <250W maximum power. I suspect the 160 TFLOPS number is bogus, but I'm open to being surprised here too.
