Chinese GPU maker Lisuan is preparing to unveil its new gaming graphics card, the G100, later this week. The official announcement is expected on March 12, and the model is already being described as China’s first 6 nm gaming GPU. Early benchmark results suggest the card is being positioned against mainstream offerings from NVIDIA and AMD.
Lisuan G100 arrives with 12 GB GDDR6 memory and promising early results
The consumer GPU market has seen relatively few major launches this year, which gives Lisuan’s upcoming debut added weight. According to the information shared so far, the G100 will mark one of the company’s most important moves in the gaming segment and could become a notable entry in China’s domestic graphics market.
One of the key technical details is its 12 GB of GDDR6 memory paired with a PCIe 4.0 interface. That configuration points to a product designed to compete in the same class as NVIDIA’s xx60-series cards. The available specifications reinforce that position.
The card is said to feature 192 TMUs and 96 ROPs, with a maximum TDP of 225W. Power is delivered through a single 8-pin connector. Taken together, those figures indicate that Lisuan is not introducing a low-end local-market product, but a GPU built with clear performance ambitions.
Early OpenCL benchmark results place the Lisuan G100 ahead of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4060 and AMD’s Radeon RX 9060 XT. In some comparisons, the card also appears to approach RTX 5060-level territory. That does not confirm real-world gaming performance, but it does suggest the hardware may be more competitive than many expected from a first-generation domestic gaming GPU in this class.
Reports from earlier in the cycle indicated that Lisuan had already begun mass production in September 2025. That makes a first-half 2026 launch timeline consistent with what had been rumored. What remains less clear is whether the company will put its initial weight behind consumer models or shift attention toward workstation-oriented products.
That question matters because demand for domestic compute hardware in China remains high. As interest in AI infrastructure and accelerated computing continues to grow, local GPU makers are under pressure to serve more than just the gaming market. Lisuan’s rivals, including Moore Threads, have also been moving quickly to benefit from that momentum.
For now, pricing and retail availability have not been confirmed. Those details are expected to arrive alongside the company’s official launch announcement this week. If the early performance numbers hold up in broader testing, the Lisuan G100 could become one of the most serious gaming GPU releases yet from a Chinese manufacturer.
