InnoSilicon has unveiled the Fenghua No.3 GPU marking a significant shift in how the Chinese company develops GPUs. While for previous versions , they used Imagination Technologies' PowerVR IP , now the Fenghua No.3 uses an open-source RISC-V design based on OpenCore Institute's Nanhu V3 project. The Fenghua No.3 comes with over 112 GB of HBM memory putting it right in the AI accelerator market. InnoSilicon says one card can run 32B and 72B parameter language models. They also claim that if you use eight cards together, you can handle huge 671B and 685B parameter models.
The GPU support DirectX 12 Vulkan 1.2, and OpenGL 4.6 APIs for games, and it can handle even ray tracing. InnoSilicon showed the card running Tomb Raider, Delta Force, and Valorant, however it didn't share exact performance numbers or the settings in use. The card can power up to six 8 K screens at 30 Hz and supports YUV444 format to improve color accuracy. This aims at medical, CAD, and scientific computing markets. What's even more interesting is that InnoSilicon says that Fenghua No.3 it's CUDA compatible—a bold claim that, if true, could expand the GPU's software options. However, since CUDA is proprietary, this claim requires verification.
