China recently unveiled its first gaming GPU, the Lisuan G100. Made on a 6nm process, it was initially hyped as a possible competitor to Nvidia’s RTX 4060. But a recent Geekbench listing tells a different story.
According to TechSpot, its performance seems to land somewhere around the 13-year-old GTX 660 Ti or the 10-year-old Radeon R9 370.
The benchmark also revealed some surprisingly weak specs, like just 32 Compute Units, 256MB of VRAM, and a 300MHz GPU clock. In the OpenCL test, it scored only 15,524 points, putting it near the bottom of Geekbench’s GPU rankings.
At first glance, the specs and benchmark make the G100 look like a seriously underpowered card—at least a decade behind what Nvidia and AMD are offering today.
The more likely explanation is that the test was run during early sampling, with unoptimised firmware and drivers.
There’s no official word on when the G100 will launch, but rumours suggest mass production could start later this year or early next.
