While Innosilicon Technology’s products may not be prominently featured on the list of the best graphics cards, the company has been hard at work developing its Fenghua (translated as Fantasy) series of graphics cards. As ITHome reported, Innosilicon recently unveiled the Fenghua No. 3, the company’s latest flagship GPU. The company promises that its third GPU iteration is a significant advancement over its predecessors.
While previous Fenghua No.1 and Fenghua No.2 graphics cards were based on Imagination Technologies’ PowerVR IP, the new Fenghua No.3 leverages the open-source RISC-V architecture instead. The graphics card reportedly borrows a page from OpenCore Institute’s Nanhu V3 project.
The company representative didn’t provide any more details on the Fenghua No.3 during the launch event, only that it features a home-grown design from the ground up. The Fenghua No.3 is also purportedly compatible with Nvidia’s proprietary CUDA platform, which could open many doors for the graphics card if it holds true.

The Fenghua No.3 is designed for a bunch of different workloads, as Innosilicon describes it as an “all-function GPU” (translation). The company plans to deploy the graphics card in different sectors, including AI, scientific computing, CAD work, medical imaging, and gaming. Therefore, it’s safe to assume there will be other variants of the Fenghua No.3.
