The G100 series launches on June 18, with preorders opening on March 17 next week. The date was revealed at AWE 2026, a tech conference in China, where the company also announced new graphics cards aimed at the professional segment. We've known since last year that Lisuan has created two GPUs — 7G105 and 7G106; the former being a server design and the latter intended for gaming.
Now we know the gaming GPU will officially be called Lisuan Extreme LX 7G106, while the professional GPU has likely been split into at least two, if not three, SKUs. Let's first talk about the LX 7G106. New design aside, it features 12 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, 192 texture units, and 96 ROPs. It has an FP32 throughput of up to 24 TFLOP/s, and early benchmarks put it in the RTX 4060 ballpark .

That's mighty impressive for an entirely self-developed GPU because Lisuan Tech has claimed that its "TrueGPU" architecture has been built entirely from scratch. That means the instruction set, compute core, and software stack are all in-house. At the launch event, Lisuan said the LX 7G106 can play dozens of the most popular Steam games, including Cyberpunk 2077, Black Myth: Wukong, and the RE4 Remake .
All that is made possible due to the G100 GPU's support for modern graphics APIs, such as DirectX 12. In fact, Lisuan says the entire lineup is compatible with the latest versions of DirectX, Vulkan , OpenCL , and OpenGL. The company even supports the Windows-on-Arm initiative — something that neither of the big three GPU makers does — and the G100 series is compatible with Linux as well.
Alongside the LX G7106, Lisuan unveiled the LX Ultra, LX Pro, and LX Max professional GPUs as well, with different VRAM configs. The LX Max features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory, while the LX Pro doubles that to 24 GB. The LX Ultra also has 24 GB of VRAM, but it supports ECC. The Ultra rocks a blower-style cooler and looks different from both the LX Pro and Max, which share basically the same design.
Previously, we knew the G7105 GPU would be powering Lisuan's professional card, so it's likely that at least the LX Ultra and LX Pro are using that, given the 24 GB VRAM spec. The LX Max could be using a repurposed G7106 GPU or just a cut-down G7105, but we don't have enough info on this. Regardless, all of these SKUs, gaming or professional, are compatible with both mainstream CPUs and local Chinese ones.
