Lisuan Tech’s First In-House GPU, the LX 7G100, Sells Out and Draws Reviews: Compatibility Is Taking Shape, but Performance Still Trails Mainstream Nvidia GPUs

After the launch of Lisuan Tech’s first self-developed graphics card, the Lisuan LX 7G100, media outlets and reviewers focused on its sell-out status, compatibility, and performance. Three sources consistently confirm that the card has been sold publicly and that the company said the first 30,000 units were sold out. It also appears to support Windows, DirectX 12, Vulkan, OpenCL, and OpenGL. On performance, sources indicate it can come close to the Nvidia RTX 3060 in some tests, but it still struggles to compete with mainstream Nvidia GPUs overall. Claims that it is explicitly positioned against the RTX 4060, as well as more complete benchmark details, could not be fully confirmed from the available sources.

NASA JPL Tests Next-Generation RISC-V Space Processor: Radiation, Thermal, and Shock Trials Underway, Performance Pointing to up to 100x Capacity

NASA JPL is testing a radiation-hardened, high-performance space computing processor developed in collaboration with Microchip. Three sources confirm that testing began in February and includes radiation, thermal, and shock trials; two sources explicitly note that current test results show roughly 500 times the performance of the radiation-hardened chips now in use. The “up to 100x computing capacity” claim is part of the event summary, but it cannot be directly confirmed from the three provided sources.

ASML CEO on EUV Lithography and Competitive Challenges: High-NA/Low-NA, Advanced-Node Position, and AI Chip Supply Dispute

Three sources point to the same core theme in remarks by ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet: EUV lithography remains a critical part of advanced chip manufacturing, and ASML maintains a firm view of its own technological position. However, the specific economics of High-NA versus Low-NA EUV, as well as the stated reasons behind constraints on China’s AI progress, are not consistently covered across the sources, and some details cannot be directly confirmed from the materials provided.

NY Creates and Micron launch semiconductor worker training program in Albany to feed talent for Clay plant

NY Creates and Micron have launched a semiconductor worker training and apprenticeship program in New York’s Capital Region. The 16-month program is set to begin in August and will take place at Albany NanoTech and Hudson Valley Community College in Troy. It is designed to help train talent for Micron’s memory chip plant under construction in Clay and the broader chip ecosystem. Micron’s megafab is expected to be completed around 2030.
