Innosilicon Showcases Passively-Cooled Fantasy 2 GPU at China Chip Excellence Awards
Inosilicon fantasy 2 graphics card Consumer GPU wins China Chip Excellence Technology Innovation Product Award at the 17th China Chip Excellence Awards Ceremony.
We have some great new images of graphics cards thanks to this industry event (H/T to Twitter user @Loschzwerg_3DC). Despite being scheduled to launch in August of last year, there is no word yet on whether this GPU will be available to consumers.
In case you haven’t followed the news of the Innosilicon Fantasy 2 graphics card closely, it claims to be a consumer product on the PowerVR architecture, capable of “4K-level high-performance rendering” while consuming very little power. It has been.
When this product falls into the hands of reviewers, don’t expect too much in terms of performance from this product, especially from the fanless model in the new images. Its 1.5 TFLOPs FP32 performance and 10 TOPS (Int8) computing power are not exactly a gamer’s dream. That said, it’s good to see PowerVR returning to desktop PC offerings. Ultra-low power consumption (5-15W), wide graphics API (OpenGL, Vulkan, DirectX) and OS support (Windows, Linux, Android). ), especially welcome.
Innosilicon claims the Fantasy 2 graphics card is good enough for “everyday needs” such as office use, entertainment, CAD, and other applications. But when it says the GPU “provides great performance in games,” you’re probably talking about casual 2D game titles, not the latest AAA 3D PC releases.
Those craving PowerVR power might be better off with the Fantasy 1, which is supposed to target GeForce RTX 3060-grade performance (think big salt on that) . The card has been confirmed by his ImgTec to feature a BXT-32-1024 GPU, deliver 5 TFLOPs FP32 performance and ship with 16 GB of his GDDR6X with a 128-bit interface.
Confused by the already opaque waters regarding these elusive GPUs, there’s the Type A (outlined above), which uses a single BXT-32-1024 GPU, and the dual-GPU board.
Chinese tech news sites, forums and social media have very little practical information about these Innosilicon Fantasy graphics cards. It seems unlikely that Fantasy 2 will make it onto the highly competitive list of best graphics cards.
