ICCAD 2025: Imagination showcases DXD GPUs with Lenovo New Vision Z-Engine demos in Chengdu
Xiang Dixian, the Chinese GPU company that declared first domestic GPU production back in September, has presented its GPU featuring Imagination Technologies architecture at the ICCAD-Expo 2025 in Chengdu, China. The cards are based on the DXD architecture and are already in mass production, marking the first DXD-based graphics products available on the market.
According to the company, the DXD graphics card more than doubles overall rendering performance compared to the previous generation. It can run large scale 3D applications smoothly and was used on the show floor to drive complex digital twin scenes. The demos also enabled next generation graphics features such as ray tracing and super resolution, it is claimed, but impossible to see from a very low resolution video posted on company’s social media account.

One of the key exhibits was a joint demonstration with Lenovo New Vision. Imagination’s FUXI A0 DXD GPU powered a localized version of Lenovo New Vision’s Z-Engine 3D rendering platform , which is aimed at industrial visualization and digital twin workloads, not for gaming obviously. The system rendered domestic 3D content in real time, highlighting cooperation between the two companies around GPU IP and visual computing platforms.

Lenovo New Vision focuses on AR devices, digital twin platforms and visual computing services for sectors such as smart cities and manufacturing. Running its Z-Engine on Imagination’s DXD hardware shows how domestic GPU cards can be used as the backbone for these workloads, from urban planning simulations to factory monitoring systems.
According to other sources, the Fuxi A0 uses DXD-72-2304 GPU, which has support for all major graphics engines, including Vulkan 1.3, OpenGL 4.6, OpenCL 3.0 and even DirectX 11_0, but not for DX12.
Xiang Dixian states that it will continue to expand the DXD product line and work with partners like Lenovo New Vision to build a local graphics stack for digital twin and industrial applications in China. I coulnd’t find any demos with gaming, but it’s clear this product is not targeting gaming systems, but workstations, 3D rendering use.
