Moore Threads is set to revolutionize the workstation GPU market with the introduction of the MTT X300, designed to significantly outperform its predecessor, the S50, which utilized the first-generation MUSA cores. This new graphics processing unit (GPU) promises enhanced performance tailored specifically for professional workloads.
Introducing the MTT X300: A Game Changer for Workstation Graphics
The MTT X300, recently launched by the Chinese company Moore Threads, marks a significant upgrade from the MTT S50. While the S50 served as an entry-level workstation GPU, the X300 boasts superior specifications to adeptly handle contemporary applications and graphics-intensive tasks.
While the official product page for the MTT X300 is now live, it currently lacks any visual representation of the GPU itself. However, the emphasis lies on its impressive specifications, which seem strikingly similar to those of the MTT S80, a dedicated gaming GPU known as the first PCI-E 5.0 graphics card.
It’s worth considering that the MTT X300 may indeed be a specialized version of the MTT S80, customized for professional applications with unique firmware and driver support. Highlights of the X300 include:
- 4096 MUSA cores: Doubling the core count found in the S50.
- 16 GB GDDR6 memory: An increase in memory capacity compared to the S50.
- Memory bandwidth: An impressive 448 GB/s.
- PCI-E interface: Cutting-edge Gen 5.0.
- Operating TDP: Set at 255W, three times that of the S50.
- FP32 performance: Achieving 14.4 TFLOPS compared to the S50’s 5.2 TFLOPS.
Although the MTT X300 is technically intended to be more compact than the MTT S80, both GPUs have identical dimensions of 285mm x 112mm x 49mm. Further clarification from Moore Threads is anticipated to confirm whether these dimensions hold true.
In terms of features, the MTT X300 is versatile, supporting x86, Arm, and LoongArch architectures. This GPU excels in accelerating GIS (Geographic Information Systems) applications and is capable of processing 36 channels of 1080p video at 30 frames per second. It accommodates a wide range of decoding formats, including AV1, H.264, H.265, and more.
Performance benchmarks suggest that the MTT X300 can deliver remarkable improvements: it is reportedly up to 2.0x faster than the S50 in GLMark2, up to 2.9x faster in Glx-Gears, and up to 2.8x faster in Unigine Heaven. With support for resolutions up to 8K, the X300 is better equipped for high-end display tasks, allowing connections for up to four monitors simultaneously.
Stay tuned for updates regarding the pricing and availability of the MTT X300 as more information becomes available.
