Chinese GPU maker Moore Threads made a major announcement this week at its MUSA 2025 Developer Conference. The company unveiled its new Huagang (or “Flowerpot”) architecture, which will power two new GPUs launching next year.
According to Moore Threads, the architecture features redesigned compute units that boost compute density by 50 percent and improve energy efficiency by about 10 percent. It also introduces a new instruction set, adds support for asynchronous programming, and improves thread scheduling efficiency, core ingredients for modern graphics and AI workloads.
Moore Threads Lushan and Huashan GPU
One of the GPUs built on this architecture is Lushan, which replaces Moore Threads’ aging MTT S80 and S90 graphics cards.
Moore Threads claims substantial performance gains across the board, including up to 15× better performance in AAA games, 50× stronger ray tracing, and 64× higher AI computing performance.
The company also promises significant improvements in geometry processing and texture fill rates, along with a roughly fourfold increase in memory capacity from 16GB to 64GB.
Beyond gaming, Moore Threads designed Lushan to handle professional workloads such as CAD and CAE software. The GPU also features a new “UniTE” unified rendering architecture with a dedicated AI hardware block.
The second GPU, Huashan, targets AI computing. The chip apparently uses a dual-chiplet design with 9 HBM modules, and Moore Threads directly compared it to NVIDIA’s Hopper and Blackwell GPUs.
The company claims Huashan’s floating-point performance (supports both FP4 and FP64) is close to NVIDIA’s Blackwell B200, with comparable total bandwidth and even stronger memory access capabilities. The GPU is scalable to over 100,000 units via MTLink 4.0 interconnect at 1314 GB/s.
Moore Threads says it plans to launch the first Lushan-based consumer graphics card in 2026, with Huashan products arriving around the same time.
