This is not a bootable graphics card/accelerator rendering, but an actual product already on display. The company exhibited the N100 accelerator at the China International Public Security Products Expo. Attendees also got their first look at his MXN100 GPU covered by a large integrated heatspreader. Underneath should be his HBM2e memory of unknown capacity.
The main function of this processor is to handle 1 channel encoding and up to 96 decoding simultaneously in HEVC, AV1, AVS2 and H.264 formats, and video processing up to 8K resolution.

Superior video processing power is combined with AI inference processing up to 160 TOPS (1 trillion operations per second). The N100 could help with intelligent video processing for transportation and cloud computing. It is unlikely to compete with the AMD Instinct or NVIDIA Data-Center GPU series.
However, the MuXi co-founder said the company plans to launch a full product stack with graphics cards (the N100 is a headless accelerator) and game cards with video output capabilities by 2025. rice field. Unfortunately, no further details were provided.
