Innosilicon Technology may not rank among the top GPU makers, but the company continues to push forward with its Fenghua (Fantasy) graphics card lineup. Recently, it unveiled the Fenghua No.3, its latest flagship, marking a major step beyond the earlier Fenghua No.1 and No.2, which relied on Imagination Technologies’ PowerVR IP. Unlike its predecessors, the new model is built on the open-source RISC-V architecture, reportedly drawing inspiration from OpenCore Institute’s Nanhu V3 project.
Although details remain scarce, Innosilicon emphasized that Fenghua No.3 was designed in-house from the ground up. It’s also said to be compatible with Nvidia’s CUDA ecosystem, which—if true—could dramatically broaden its applications. Described as an “all-function GPU,” it targets multiple fields, from AI and scientific computing to CAD, medical imaging, and gaming, suggesting multiple versions may be in development.
For gaming, the card supports DirectX 12, Vulkan 1.2, OpenGL 4.6, and ray tracing. On the AI side, the card reportedly carries over 112GB of HBM memory, handling models up to 72B parameters on a single unit and scaling to 685B across eight cards. It also supports frameworks like DeepSeek V3 and Qwen 3.
Additional highlights include support for YUV444 color for professional-grade visual fidelity, native DICOM compatibility for medical imaging, and the ability to drive six 8K monitors at once. While China’s GPU industry still lags behind the U.S., innovations like the Fenghua No.3 reflect steady progress toward technological self-reliance.
