Chinese semiconductor company IlubataCoreX (Tiansuzhixin) announced it has developed a new graphics processing unit (GPU) with performance comparable to Nvidia's high-performance artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor H200.
According to Chinese media outlet Shenkeji, IlubataCoreX, based in Shanghai, demonstrated the performance of its new GPU, Tianhai 300, to Chinese media on October 28. The company reported that Tianhai 300 outperformed Nvidia's H200 in text-image and text-video generation tasks using the latest AI models, including Z.ai's GLM-5.3. In text-image generation tests, Tianhai 300 achieved a 100% task completion rate and generated images at a rate of 0.101 images per second, while the H200 had a completion rate of 87.5% and generated 0.086 images per second. However, Tianhai 300 took 0.64 seconds longer to complete tasks than the H200.
In a third-party benchmark test conducted by the state-owned Shanghai Yidian, Tianhai 300 reportedly recorded a throughput 1.05 times that of the H200 in typical batch environments. Chinese financial media Huazhongjiewen reported that Tianhai 300 also surpassed the H200 by 15% in processing expert mixture (MoE) models and reduced the first token output latency by up to 30% during long text processing.
The competitive results from the Chinese company in specific AI tasks and testing environments have garnered significant attention. Tianhai 300 was announced in July. IlubataCoreX is expanding its business not only in cloud data centers but also in edge computing, where AI is directly operated in vehicles and various devices.
Meanwhile, other Chinese companies, including Birun Technology, MetaX, Enflame, and Moore Threads, are also accelerating the development of alternative GPUs to Nvidia.
