Shanghai-based chipmaker Iluvatar CoreX has unveiled a multi-year GPU architecture roadmap that lays out when it expects to surpass Nvidia’s platforms, a rare level of specificity in the semiconductor sector. Rather than leaning on conventional benchmark comparisons, Iluvatar has tied its ambitions to a public timeline, inviting direct comparison with Nvidia’s generational cadence. According to the roadmap, Iluvatar said its current Tianshu architecture has already met the first target. Following Tianshu, the Tianxuan architecture is intended to compete with Nvidia’s upcoming Blackwell generation, while Tianji is positioned to surpass it in 2026. According to its prospectus, Iluvatar’s revenue rose from RMB 189 million (USD 26.5 million) in 2022 to RMB 540 million (USD 75.6 million) in 2024, though net losses also widened over the same period.
