Newly-listed Chinese chipmaker targets beating Nvidia Rubin platform in just two years — Shanghai Iluvatar CoreX unveils multi-year GPU architecture roadmap with 2027 deadline

Shanghai Iluvatar CoreX Semiconductor, a newly-listed Chinese chip designer, has revealed a GPU architecture roadmap aiming to surpass Nvidia's Rubin platform by 2027. The company's current architecture, Tianshu, has already outperformed Nvidia's Hopper generation, with future designs like Tianxuan and Tianji set to compete with Nvidia's offerings. Iluvatar CoreX emphasizes architectural efficiency and performance gains over Nvidia's GPUs, with plans to introduce edge-focused components as well. Despite its recent IPO and ambitious goals, the company faces the challenge of delivering on its roadmap against established competitors like Nvidia.
