Moore Threads, a new GPU manufacturer based in Beijing, said in 2021 that the business is developing a graphics processor based on its technology. The MTT S60 and MTT S2000 desktop GPUs, the company’s two flagship GPUs, are on show to the public.
Moore Thread Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. is a relatively unknown corporation in the United States and in its home area of Beijing. Moore Thread is a relatively new integrated circuit startup that focuses on GPU chip construction. The company’s focus on research and development of full-featured GPU chips and related products, led by Zhang Jianzhong, former global vice president and general manager for NVIDIA, has shown to provide powerful computing acceleration abilities for the company’s Chinese scientific and technological ecological partners. The business is still in its infancy, having been started only 18 months ago in October of 2020.
The firm is committed to bringing in new technological advancements to a new era of graphics cards for meta-computing software and apps, as well as building a comprehensive computing platform. This new platform will include computers for visual, 3D graphics, scientific, and artificial intelligence applications, as well as a cloud-native GPU-based ecosystem.
Moore Thread Unified System Architecture, or MUSA, is used to design the MTT S60 and MTT S2000 desktop GPUs, which are made using 12 nm process technology. The MTT S60 has 6 TFLOPs of processing capability and 8GB of LPGDDR4X memory. The MTT S2000, on the other hand, offers 12 TFLOPS and accesses 32 GB of an undisclosed memory class.
Moore Threads demonstrated that the MUSA architecture supports DirectX Runtime, a capability missing from previously revealed and showcased Chinese graphics cards, as well as OpenCL, OpenGL Vulkan, and NVIDIA’s CUDA.
The new MUSA GPUs will support AV1 encoding and decoding, as well as the following formats: encoding will support H.264, H.265, and AV1, while decoding will support the same structures, with the addition of VP8 and VP9 decoding. AV1 is also supported by Intel’s latest ARC DG2 GPUs, which were released today.
Moore Thread demonstrated the capability of its MTT S60 graphics card by demonstrating League of Legends at a smooth 1080p quality. While the game’s graphics aren’t particularly demanding, the firm did not provide any additional information to the public. However, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 or AMD Radeon HD 6950 are the recommended specs for League of Legends.
The fact that the MTT S2000 uses AlphaCore physics simulation technology raised some eyebrows. Moore Threads demonstrated that the MUSA architecture supports DirectX Runtime, a capability missing from previously revealed and showcased Chinese graphics cards, as well as OpenCL, OpenGL Vulkan, and NVIDIA’s CUDA. Moore Threads claims that the graphics card was built to work exclusively with design applications and game engines such as Unreal Engine, Unity, Houdini, and D5.
