    Noticed a bit on Tom's today about Jiangjia Micro, which supposedly has under it's belt the first "homegrown" chinese GPU and today has replaced ATI/AMD chips in chinese military aircraft.
    According to the piece, they're also starting to market their GPUs towards the public, with one of their future GPU promising PCIe4, 8 TFLOPS and 200W TDP.
    On the API side at least at the moment the chips are supposed to support OpenGL 4.5 and OpenCL 2.0, so they need to add DirectX and Vulkan support at least if they plan to make it on commercial markets.

    Their current offering (JM7200) is rivalling the mighty Geforce GT 640 and built on 28 nm with a ~10 watt TDP.

    Imagine what they'll do on 7nm!

    interesting stuff. That being said, I dont see it as a competition for nVidia, AMD, nor Intel.

    The lack of DirectX or Vulkan support converts it into a paperweight, for games at least. Still, it's a step that could add more competition in the future.

    Part of me is wondering what existing copyrighted technology they've copied to get this running. I'm not trying to be a bad person, it just seems a lot of these products end up being a blatent copy (sometimes, a poorly implemented one) of someone else's design. However, if this is truly new IP they've created of their own, then I'll say I'm happy for them and glad for another player in the GPU space (even if they're pretty far down the performance and capability curve.)

    Chinese GPU Maker, Jing Jiawei, commences JM9 chip production, first chip a far cry from NVIDIA's GTX 1080's performance

    If this gpu has no api support then its going to have to be programmed "to the metal" like cards were in the dos days, the programming guide will be interesting (if you can read chinese :-D)
