On the evening of March 31, 2022, BIREN TECH's first general-purpose GPU chip, the BR100 series, was successfully lit at once. In terms of core performance design standards, the BR100 series is the largest general-purpose GPU chip in terms of computing power in China, directly benchmarking against the latest flagship products recently released by international manufacturers.
As early as March 2020, V Fund discovered BIREN TECH and was one of the major shareholders in its pre-A+ round of financing, continuing to add to it after its initial investment, firmly believing in and supporting the overall development of BIREN TECH.
BIREN TECH
Founded in 2019, BIREN TECH is dedicated to developing original general-purpose computing systems and establishing efficient hardware and software platforms, while providing integrated solutions in the field of intelligent computing. For development path, BIREN TECH will first focus on cloud-based general-purpose intelligent computing, gradually catching up with existing solutions in various fields such as artificial intelligence training and reasoning, graphics rendering, etc., to achieve a breakthrough in domestic high-end general-purpose intelligent computing chips. Up to now, BIREN TECH has completed its financing round, with a total funding amount of over 5 billion yuan, repeatedly setting new records for the speed and scale of financing in the semiconductor sector, making it the fastest growing "unicorn" company. The first domestic high-end general-purpose GPU chip has been successfully lit, and is the largest general-purpose GPU chip in China in terms of computing power.
BR100 CHIP
The BR100 series is developed based on the original chip architecture of BIREN TECH, using a mature 7nm process and combining a number of cutting-edge chip design, manufacturing and packaging technologies, including Chiplet technology, to provide high computing power, high energy efficiency and high versatility. Currently, the testing and tuning of the BR100 series general-purpose GPU chips are progressing well.
At the same time, BIREN TECH continues to build a complete and easy-to-use software platform and a technical ecology, dedicated to helping users quickly achieve "seamless migration" between the ecology through hardware and software optimization, so that the performance parameters can really play a powerful "effective computing power". After the completion of the related follow-up work, the computing products equipped with the BR100 series of general-purpose GPU chips of BIREN TECH will be officially released to the market.
When the BR100 general-purpose GPU chip family was conceived two years ago, it was forward looking and set the core performance standard for products that the industry giants planned to release two years later. This meant extremely difficult hardware design and a huge challenge at the level of innovation for the underlying chip architecture. The success of the BR100 series of general-purpose GPU chips in a single lighting marks a key breakthrough in the development of domestic large-calculus general-purpose GPU chips by BIREN TECH.
Founder, Chairman and CEO of BIREN TECH, Zhang Wen, said he was grateful for the unwavering support from shareholders and the Board of Directors, and that all BIREN people had joined hands and worked together to light up the first milestone domestic high-end general-purpose GPU chip. "This is just the first step in our ambitious journey, and in the future I will lead my team to continue to achieve product innovation and breakthroughs, provide strong domestic computing support for the development of China's digital society, and build an internationally competitive hard technology company."
