China’s GPU industry is moving beyond bold announcements toward tangible results. The Lisuan G100 graphics card series, positioned as a direct alternative to NVIDIA and AMD solutions, has officially begun shipping to its first customers. While a full retail launch is still ahead, these early deliveries confirm that Lisuan’s effort is no longer conceptual but firmly rooted in real hardware.
The centerpiece of the lineup is the Lisuan 7G106. The graphics card is manufactured using TSMC’s 6nm N6 process. Although this node is not cutting-edge by 2025 standards, it is more than capable of competing in the mainstream segment, targeting performance levels comparable to the “60-class” GPUs from Western vendors. According to ITHome, the first production batches have already left the factory.
At launch, Lisuan is not focusing on gamers. Initial shipments are aimed at the professional market, including customers working with digital twin technologies and industrial simulations. Mass production began in September 2025, while consumer availability in the Chinese retail market is expected in Q1 2026.
In terms of specifications, the Lisuan 7G106 appears highly competitive. It features 12GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, supports PCIe 4.0 x16, and includes 192 TMUs alongside 96 ROPs. The stated TDP is 225W, with power delivered through a single 8-pin connector.
Software capabilities are also a key focus. Lisuan references its proprietary NRSS upscaling technology, positioned as a competitor to NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR. There are also indications of full Windows on ARM support, potentially expanding the card’s use cases beyond traditional x86 platforms.
Early performance testing places the Lisuan 7G106 on par with mid-range offerings from AMD and NVIDIA. This positions it as one of the most competitive Chinese-designed GPUs to date, particularly for the domestic market, and a notable step toward reducing reliance on Western graphics solutions.
