The consumer GPU segment hasn't seen many launches this year, but China's Lisuan has plans for gamers, as it is expected to launch its G100 GPU this week.
Lisuan Will Become The First to Offer a 6nm Gaming GPU in China, With Performance Rivaling NVIDIA/AMD Mainstream Options
NVIDIA/AMD aren't looking too proactive about launching newer GPU models for the gaming segment, and based on what we have seen, one shouldn't expect any new lineups this year. However, the Chinese GPU manufacturer Lisuan has rather interesting plans for this year, as @realVictor_M reports that the company intends to launch the G100 consumer GPU on March 12, three days from now. For those unaware, the Lisuan G100 is touted as China's first 6nm gaming GPU, and early benchmarks suggest it delivers performance that makes it a viable competitor to NVIDIA/AMD options.
We have extensively discussed Lisuan's upcoming GPUs in the past as well, but one of the main highlights is that you get 12 GB of GDDR6 memory over a PCIe 4.0 interface. This indicates that the manufacturer intends to position the SKU as a rival to NVIDIA's 60-class offerings, and the performance figures justify this as well. The graphics card features 192 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and a maximum TDP of 225W, powered by a single 8-pin connector. In early OpenCL benchmarks, we saw the Lisuan G100 surpassing NVIDIA's RTX 4060 and AMD's Radeon RX 9060 XT.

It was reported that Lisuan had already started mass production of the GPUs back in September 2025, which is why a Q1-Q2 launch window made sense. However, the manufacturer hasn't entirely confirmed whether they will initially focus on consumer variants or a workstation-focused solution, since the latter might make sense for them given the huge domestic compute demand in China right now. Lisuan's local competitors, mainly Moore Threads, are rushing to go public to capitalize on the AI frenzy in the region, which is why Lisuan could also go the AI route.
For now, details on pricing and retail availability are uncertain, but we can expect them to be announced alongside Lisuan's official announcement, which is scheduled for this week.
