2022: MTT S60 и MTT S2000
On March 31, 2022, the Chinese company Moore Threads announced the MTT S60 and MTT S2000 video cards. This is a startup founded in October 2020 and developed its first full-fledged accelerators in a little more than a year.
According to the company, the MTT S60 card was created for use in desktop computers and high-performance workstations, while the MTT S2000 is designed to work in. servers Developers for unknown reasons did not master modern technological processes and stopped at 12 nm. However, cards, at least the desktop MTT S60, are capable of pulling modern video games ones - during the presentation, the developers demonstrated it in the League of Legends game with graphics settings at a resolution of 1920x1080 points (Full HD).
As of March 2022, China did not join the anti-Russian sanctions, which means that Moore Threads cards, in theory, can be bought in Russia or, at least, discharged from China.
According to Moore Threads, the company's first video cards demonstrate proper performance. The Desktop S60 provides 6 TFLOPS and the Server S2000 provides 12 TFLOPS.
Both cards are built on the first-generation Moore Threads Unified System Architecture (MUSA) with the code name Sudi. It supports OpenCL, OpenGL, Vulkan and Nvidia CUDA technologies used in GPU of various brands. There is support for DirectX too.
The desktop card comes with 8 GB of LPGDDR4X memory, while the server memory is 32 GB. The younger card uses 2048 MUSA cores, in the older one there are exactly twice as many.
The MTT S60 takes up relatively little space in the system unit. This is a single-slot solution, which allows you to use it even in very compact cases. Cooling at the card is active, turbine type. MTT S2000 is also single-slot, but with passive cooling.
The developers said that their cards will work in computers and servers based on x86 and ARM processors, managed by Chinese operating systems[1].
