considering there's a ton of gt 1030 on china (for whatever reason, take a look at the wish/alibaba etc cards), i'm not surprised if they developed it from doing a reverse engineering on gt 1030.
it's definitely a good news if there are more players on the gpu industry, but i don't think they can compete with amd and nvidia, even intel. even if it can compete on the lower end, not sure it will be able to mine crypto with decent profits. unless the crypto itself incentivize them with other benefits.
Topic: Zhaoxin's First Discrete GPU Pictured (Read 111 times)
The video card is similar to the GeForce GT 1030.
Modern processors have a built-in video card much better and more productive in games, but this is like a 4th manufacturer who managed to make their own discrete video card. Intel also has weak video cards, but they continue to evolve.

Zhaoxin, a joint venture between China-based Shanghai SASAC (which controls an 80% stake) and Taiwan-based CPU developer Via Technologies (which owns the remaining 20% stake). Last year it unveiled plans to launch a standalone graphics processor and it appears that Zhaoxin managed to produce one.
GlenFly Technology, a graphics subsidiary of Zhaoxin that is a formal assignee of Zhaoxin's graphics patents, recently published (thanks to @Loeschzwerg_3DC for the link) an image of a graphics card that is running the Unigine Heaven benchmark on a 22-inch Full-HD LCD at 32 frames per second (FPS). Considering the fact that GlenFly is not supposed to be running third-party hardware, we can assume that the board is indeed based on a Zhaoxin GPU.

Will it mine cryptocurrency?
