Core Viewpoint - The domestic GPU sector is witnessing significant activity as major players, including Shanghai Biren Technology Co., Ltd. (Biren Technology), are heading to the capital market, with Biren Technology aiming to become the first GPU stock listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange [1][4]. Company Overview - Biren Technology was established in 2019 and focuses on developing General-Purpose Graphics Processing Unit (GPGPU) chips and intelligent computing solutions for artificial intelligence [1]. - The company has successfully developed its first-generation GPGPU architecture and two chips, BR106 and BR110, with BR106 entering mass production in January 2023 and BR110 expected to follow in October 2024 [1][3]. Product Development - Biren Technology plans to launch the next-generation flagship data center chip, the BR20X series, by 2026, which will feature larger and faster memory and higher interconnect bandwidth compared to existing products [3]. - Future products include the BR30X for cloud training and the BR31X for edge inference, expected to be commercialized by 2028 [3]. Financial Performance - Since generating revenue from its intelligent computing solutions in 2023, Biren Technology has seen rapid revenue growth but has not yet achieved profitability [2]. - Revenue figures from 2022 to the first half of 2025 are as follows: 0.499 million yuan in 2022, 0.62 billion yuan in 2023, 3.37 billion yuan in 2024, and 0.59 billion yuan in the first half of 2025, with net losses of 1.474 billion yuan, 1.744 billion yuan, 1.538 billion yuan, and 1.601 billion yuan respectively [2][4].

Market Opportunity - The global demand for AI computing power is rising, presenting significant market opportunities for domestic GPU manufacturers like Biren Technology [4]. - According to Frost & Sullivan, the AI chip market in China is projected to grow from 142.54 billion yuan in 2024 to 1,336.79 billion yuan by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 53.7% from 2025 to 2029 [4]. Competitive Landscape - The Chinese intelligent computing chip market is highly concentrated, with the top two players holding 94.4% of the market share [4]. - Biren Technology anticipates capturing approximately 0.2% of the market share in a projected market size of 50.4 billion USD by 2025 [4]. Future Plans - The funds raised from the IPO will be used for the development and upgrade of existing GPGPU chips and next-generation chips like BR20X and BR30X, as well as for software platform development and commercialization of intelligent computing solutions [5]. - Short-term prospects for domestic GPU companies are positive, as they can alleviate high R&D costs through IPO fundraising, while long-term growth is expected through increased R&D investment and strengthening of the technology product moat [5].
