Professional GPUs for Modern Graphics and Computing Workloads

Designing a Desktop GPU for Professional Computing

Desktop GPUs aren’t just for gaming. They also accelerate a wide range of modern workloads from professional visualizations and advanced simulations to data-intensive computing.

Professional users need high-performance, versatile platforms that can operate reliably across multiple application scenarios. Companies building desktop class graphics solutions need a GPU architecture that can deliver raw performance while supporting a complex system environment.

XDX: Versatile GPU Solutions for Professional Markets

XDX is a chip design company developing general-purpose, high performance GPU chips. Its product portfolio targets desktop-class, workstation-class, and server-class platforms, supporting a wide range of industry and enterprise use cases.

The company has successfully completed the R&D and mass production of three GPU chips which are now widely applied in fields including cloud desktops, CAD/CAE, the metaverse and digital twins.

Rather than limiting its focus to a single vertical market, XDX emphasises versatility and long-term deployment capability, working closely with ecosystem partners to ensure its GPUs can be integrated effectively into real production environments.

Real‑World Deployments: Digital Twin and Digital Human Applications

Among many workload categories that XDX targets, digital twin and digital human solutions represent their most mature deployments to date. These scenarios place particularly demanding requirements on rendering performance, system stability, and software ecosystem compatibility.

Their latest GPUs have been developed and deployed in collaboration with multiple partners in these areas, validating their readiness for professional visualization tasks.

Why XDX Selected Imagination GPU IP

When selecting the GPU architecture for its graphics cards, XDX placed strong emphasis on maturity, scalability, and market-proven capability. They chose Imagination as their partner because:

• Imagination GPU IP is mature and market-proven: the solutions had already been successfully licensed by multiple partners, and silicon is available in the market.
• IMG DXD delivers expanded professional rendering capabilities with its DirectX / Windows ecosystem support; this improves software compatibility and lowers hardware migration barriers for users.
• Imagination’s GPU architecture integrates AI compute which XDX builds upon for technologies such as frame generation and super-resolution which enhance rendering quality.

Creating Industry Value Through Practical GPU Deployment

XDX’s collaboration with Imagination is built as a long-term strategic partnership rather than a single IP licensing engagement. By working with a trusted technology partner whose roadmap aligns with their vision, and at the same time, leveraging years of chip design experience and engineering capabilities of XDX, XDX is able to accelerate the development of production-ready, high-performance graphics solutions. Already the partnership has resulted in three full-featured GPU chips:

• The Tianjun I and Tianjun II chips, integrated with the IMG BXT core, cover the full spectrum of graphics workloads from cloud to workstations, PCs, and even embedded devices.
• The Tianjun III chip, integrating Imagination DXD technology, elevates product performance, operational efficiency, and scenario coverage to new heights. It focuses on large-scale digital twins and professional graphics rendering domains.

Imagination’s technical teams worked closely with XDX throughout the development process, providing support in GPU integration, system optimization, and software enablement. This joint effort ensured that the resulting products met the expectations of professional graphics users, with strong reliability, API compatibility, and performance across extended workloads.

Looking Ahead: Continued Growth in Professional GPU Markets

Looking forward, XDX plans to apply its GPU products to a broader range of professional graphics and compute workloads, spanning desktop and server platforms. Imagination will continue working closely with XDX and other partners to help bring more choice to professional graphics card users.

XDX say:

“Working with Imagination allowed us to accelerate the development of a graphics card that meets the real needs of professional rendering workloads while maintain strong compatibility with existing software ecosystems.”
