Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the emergence of domestic GPU companies in China, particularly in the context of the growing demand for AI technologies and the challenges they face in competing with established players like NVIDIA and AMD [3][6][11]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The recent surge in IPO applications from domestic GPU companies, including Moore Threads and Muxi, is attributed to a more favorable IPO policy and accelerated review processes on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board [4][5]. - The tightening of U.S. chip export controls has led to a decline in NVIDIA's market share in China, creating a window of opportunity for domestic GPU firms to pursue IPOs [6][12]. - The overall number of IPO applications in the first half of the year reached 177, significantly surpassing the total for the previous year, with June alone accounting for over 80% of the applications [5]. Group 2: Company Profiles - Moore Threads aims to create a "fully functional GPU" targeting both data center and consumer gaming markets, similar to NVIDIA's strategy, and has launched several GPU chips based on its self-developed MUSA architecture [10][11]. - Muxi focuses more on the data center market, particularly AI training and inference, with a product line that includes the Xisi N series, Xiyun C series, and Xicai G series [11]. - Both companies have successfully raised significant funding, with Moore Threads securing over 4.5 billion yuan and Muxi achieving a post-investment valuation of 21.07 billion yuan [11][12]. Group 3: Financial Performance - Moore Threads reported revenues of 46 million yuan in 2022, projected to grow to 438 million yuan by 2024, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 200% [13]. - Muxi's revenues are expected to increase from 426,400 yuan in 2022 to 743 million yuan in 2024, with a staggering CAGR of 4,074% [13]. - Despite revenue growth, both companies continue to face significant losses, with Moore Threads reporting losses of 1.84 billion yuan in 2022 and Muxi reporting 777 million yuan in the same year [14]. Group 4: Future Prospects - The article highlights the challenges domestic GPU companies face in building ecosystems to compete with NVIDIA's established software and hardware integration, particularly through CUDA [17]. - Both Moore Threads and Muxi are actively developing their software ecosystems to lower barriers for developers and enhance their competitive positions [17][18]. - The upcoming IPOs are seen as crucial for these companies to secure the necessary capital to continue their growth and development in a highly competitive market [15][16].
