A new development has emerged on the technology scene that could shuffle the cards not only in Asia, but also in the world of graphics accelerators. Chinese manufacturer Innosilicon at its own presentation in Shenzhen officially showed the Innosilicon Fantasy 3 GPU 112 GB (also known as Fenghua No.3). It is an ambitious graphics card that attracts attention with its extreme memory capacity, advanced architecture, broad compatibility and bold entry into the AI, gaming and professional deployment segments.
This Chinese innovation is not just another step in their domestic product line. This model clearly shows that the manufacturer is heading to international markets and wants to compete with established brands. Compared to previous versions, it is built on a completely new technological basis. It uses a proprietary architecture, integrates the open RISC-V processor design and offers surprising compatibility with software tools that until now belonged exclusively to the competition – including the claimed CUDA support.
Sophisticated design, unexpected versatility
What makes the Innosilicon Fantasy 3 GPU 112GB exceptional is its ability to combine multiple worlds into a single solution. The architecture isn’t just designed for common graphics tasks. It also targets today’s biggest challenges – training large-scale AI models, visualizing complex data, rendering high-definition video, or demanding cloud gaming deployments.
This versatility isn’t just a marketing slogan. The Innosilicon Fantasy 3 GPU 112 GB supports a wide range of modern technologies and graphics standards – DirectX 12, Vulkan 1.2 and OpenGL 4.6 – making it an attractive tool for developers, gamers and professionals alike. In addition, the manufacturer has confirmed hardware ray tracing – a technology that simulates the behavior of real light rays and delivers more realistic lighting and reflections in both games and graphics.
Video acceleration with high color accuracy in YUV444 mode is also an important feature. This format preserves all color information without loss, which is important in professional video production where absolute color accuracy is required.
Innosilicon has not forgotten about specific professional applications either. The Innosilicon Fantasy 3 GPU 112 GB has integrated support for the DICOM standard – this is an international format used in medicine for storing and transmitting X-ray, CT or MRI images. As a result, the card can also be used in the healthcare industry, where accuracy and image quality are key. It also offers compatibility with Windows, Linux and Android, opening the door to deployment in a wide range of devices and environments.
Technological armament under the hood
At the core of this card lies a configuration that aspires to compete with professional accelerators. The biggest point of pride is the memory – up to 112 gigabytes of high-speed HBM, allowing it to handle large-scale neural networks, huge data sets, and run advanced AI models without the need for distributed computing.
According to official statements, the card can independently handle language models with 32 to 72 billion parameters, while in a server configuration with eight units it can handle models with up to 671 billion parameters. This puts it among the most robust solutions designed for AI, scientific research and data centers.
The architecture combines Innosilicon’s proprietary design and RISC-V components to deliver flexibility in performance optimization. RISC-V is an open processor architecture that allows manufacturers to develop custom chips without royalties, and with great flexibility in optimizing GPU performance, it is designed to be both energy efficient and ready for deployment from edge devices to large datacenters.
At the same time, unverified information is surfacing in technology forums and media outlets that the Innosilicon Fantasy 3 112GB GPU is said to support PCIe 5.0 and even PCIe 6.0 interfaces, utilize 112G SerDes for extremely fast data transfers, and handle the operation of up to six displays at 8K resolution at 30Hz. These reports also say that the card will bring hardware ray tracing and video acceleration in the full YUV444 color format. While these are attractive claims, they have not yet been officially confirmed and should be taken with a grain of salt until the manufacturer releases a full set of specifications.
Availability and expected price of Innosilicon Fantasy 3 GPU 112 GB
It is still unknown when the Innosilicon Fantasy 3 GPU 112 GB will be available outside of the Chinese market. The manufacturer is mainly focusing on domestic demonstrations and tests in both lab and development conditions. If the production capacity can be managed and the card gets a favorable reception, it is expected to be expanded to other regions – either directly or through OEM partners. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) partners are companies that integrate graphics chips into their products and market them under their own brand. Typical examples are MSI, ASUS or Gigabyte, which could also offer versions with the Innosilicon chip in the future.
As for the price, all indications are that it will belong to the higher price category. Exceptional memory and a focus on AI, data and professional deployments make it particularly attractive to businesses, research institutions and data centers. Direct sales to end users have not yet been confirmed. However, if the card does appear on the consumer market, it will be more of a rarity for enthusiasts with very high expectations.
Conclusion
The Innosilicon Fantasy 3 GPU 112GB represents one of the boldest Chinese moves in the graphics accelerator field. It combines massive memory, modern architecture, and features for both artificial intelligence and gaming into one solution that has the potential to captivate not only domestically, but also in the global market.
Question marks remain – real-world performance, software support and availability outside Asia are not yet clearly confirmed. However, if Innosilicon delivers on its promises and can ensure stable production, the Innosilicon Fantasy 3 GPU 112 GB could become an alternative to well-known brands such as Nvidia, AMD and Intel. It is CUDA compatibility, if proven in practice, that could be the key to wider adoption in professional environments.
This project really deserves attention and it may be that the future of computing will have Chinese characteristics and will be among the first real milestones of this change.
