One year ago, Zhaoxin was announcing its intentions to enter the discrete gaming GPU market with a 70 W TGP 28 nm model releasing some time in 2021. From what we can see in the pictures released by Glenfly, Zhaoxin already has some working engineering samples, but Chinese sources are now claiming that these particular models have been cancelled. Could be because of the unsatisfactory performance.

Really doesn't look like a gaming GPU to me, unless you mean a GT 1030. They'd basically be competing with iGPU's.
I mean, for a third world market that kinda makes sense, considering the current market, but this still sounds like a risky move.

Why risky? They have to start somewhere and you don't have the technology to make GTX 3090 from the start, gotta start by something relatively easy and slow. I'm sure after making iGPU-like GPUs they can go for low end, and eventually mid end.
It's like the international space projects dudes. Got to give them Chinese some time to mature.
I would lease my garage port to the CCP for 99 years to trade for this GPU.
