China has taped out its first domestically produced GPU which is as fast as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 & AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 graphics cards. The GPU which falls under the JM9 series has been produced by the Chinese firm, Jingjia Micro and has been under production for a little over 2 years.
The Jingjia Micro JM9 Series GPUs have two chips, an entry-level version known as 'JM9231' which would offer performance levels similar to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card & a higher-end 'JM9271' which would offer the performance level of a GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card. Jingjia went through some development hell to get these GPUs out in the market as they were indented for a launch in 2020 but the first chip is taping out in late Q3 2021.
