GPU算力竞速:国产芯片的历史性机遇

Core Viewpoint - The IPO application of Mu Xi Integrated Circuit (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. is set for review, marking a critical moment for the Chinese GPU startup as it aims to capitalize on the market opportunities created by the withdrawal of NVIDIA from the Chinese market [1][13]. Company Overview - Mu Xi was established in 2020 and has launched the "Xi Si N" series GPUs for intelligent computing inference and the "Xi Yun C" series GPUs for training and general computing [1][6]. - The company’s GPUs are optimized for cloud-based AI training and inference, addressing the bottleneck in large-scale AI computing power [1]. - As of September 5, 2025, Mu Xi reported an order backlog of 1.43 billion yuan, primarily from the Xi Yun C500 series [6]. Market Dynamics - The market for AI accelerators in China is dominated by NVIDIA (66%) and Huawei Ascend (23%), with other manufacturers, including Mu Xi and Mo Er Thread, collectively holding about 1% [12]. - The Chinese AI GPU market is projected to grow from 14.29 billion yuan in 2020 to 99.67 billion yuan by 2024, with a compound annual growth rate of 62.5% [14]. Competitive Landscape - The IPO progress of Mu Xi and Mo Er Thread reflects a broader trend of accelerated listings among Chinese GPU startups, driven by favorable market conditions following NVIDIA's exit from the Chinese market [7][13]. - Mo Er Thread, founded in 2020, has also made significant strides, with its IPO application approved in just 88 days, potentially becoming the largest IPO on the STAR Market this year [4][7]. Technological Challenges - Despite advancements, there remains a significant gap between domestic GPU companies and NVIDIA, particularly in software ecosystems and manufacturing processes [9][11]. - The current manufacturing capabilities of domestic GPUs primarily utilize 7nm or 14nm processes, while NVIDIA has advanced to 4nm technology [11]. Future Outlook - The shift in market dynamics, particularly the exit of NVIDIA from the Chinese market, presents unprecedented opportunities for domestic GPU companies to capture market share [13]. - The success of domestic companies in adapting to emerging AI applications, such as DeepSeek, is crucial for establishing their presence in the competitive landscape [14].
