Nvidia's biggest Chinese competitor unveils cutting-edge new AI GPUs — Moore Threads S4000 AI GPU and Intelligent Computing Center server clusters using 1,000 of the new AI GPUs

Dec 28, 2023 - tomshardware.com
Chinese GPU manufacturer Moore Threads has announced its latest graphics card, the MTT S4000, designed for AI and data center compute workloads. The S4000, which will feature in the KUAE Intelligent Computing Center, is a significant improvement over its predecessors, the S2000 and S3000, with twice the FP32 performance, five times the INT8 performance, 50% more VRAM, and more memory bandwidth. The S4000 will also be used in clusters of 1,000 GPUs each in data centers and will be supported by partnerships with other Chinese companies, including Lenovo.

Alongside the S4000, Moore Threads revealed its KUAE Intelligent Computing Center, described as a "full-stack solution integrating software and hardware," with the S4000 GPU as the centerpiece. The company claims that a KUAE cluster can train an AI model in roughly a month, depending on the model's parameters. Despite not being able to compete with the likes of Nvidia, AMD, or Intel, Moore Threads and its products like the S4000 and KUAE are well-positioned in the Chinese market due to US sanctions preventing the export of powerful GPUs to China.

Key takeaways:

  • Chinese GPU manufacturer Moore Threads has announced the MTT S4000, a new graphics card designed for AI and data center compute workloads.
  • The S4000 is a significant improvement over previous models, with twice the FP32 performance, five times the INT8 performance, 50% more VRAM, and more memory bandwidth.
  • Moore Threads also revealed its KUAE Intelligent Computing Center, a full-stack solution integrating software and hardware, with the S4000 GPU as the centerpiece.
  • The company has established the Intelligent Computing and Large Model Ecological Alliance, a partnership with several other Chinese companies, including Lenovo, to support its hardware and software ecosystem.
