Market with graphics cards is very important, for several technological segments. And precisely the lack of these components from proven manufacturers can cause considerable problems for companies as well as users. Now China is also preparing to compete in this market with its products.
Competition for Nvidia and AMD comes from China
The days when Chinese products only belatedly copied their Western electronics competitors are definitely over. nami. Today, it is no longer reasonable to question or underestimate this technological powerhouse, and this also applies to the current entry into the market with graphics cards.
But let's start with the introduction. Chinese company Biren Technology, which we will probably be hearing more and more about, has announced its series of new graphics cards. At least on paper, according to the technical specifications, they look surprisingly very competitive.
If we look at it in the context of the competition, there is no doubt that the manufacturer wants to compete or even surpass giants like Nvidia or AMD with its models.
Graphics chip faster than Nvidia Ampere
The graphics chip you can see in the photo is a model BR100, and it is the flagship from Biren Technology. This chip is manufactured by the company TSMC using its 7 nm manufacturing lithography process (2,5D CoWoS photolithography). The manufacturing process can already tell us that it will be a competitive GPU, but it will also offer reasonable energy consumption.
But let's go to the guts. The chip contains at least 77 billion transistors (for comparison, the competing Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 Ti offers at least 28,3 billion transistors), also includes 64 GB VRAM type HBM2e, with a maximum bandwidth of 2,3 Gbps. The equipment also includes a PCI Express 5.0 interface.
The fact is that, according to the manufacturer, this graphics processor has a performance of up to 1000 TFLOPs (with 16-bit precision). These specifications are really impressive, but it seems that this is a model designed more for professional workstations or servers. Its target is not the gaming devices of gamers or even standard users.
BR104 is the ideal model for your gaming device
So if the flagship model can handle much more, does the Chinese brand also offer a chip suitable for gamers? The end customer should probably focus on the model, for example BR104. This chip is also manufactured by the company TSMC using its 7nm manufacturing lithography process. However, it hides in the bowels 32 GB VRAM type HBM2e, and has a level performance 128 TFLOPs.
The presence Biren Technology it is definitely welcome in the technology market with graphics cards. Not only in terms of competitive chip models, but especially due to the unavailability of flagship models from well-known brands such as Nvidia or AMD. A new manufacturer can thus help to fill an imaginary gap in supplies, and its products can also help faster technological development.
