The Moore Threads MTT S80 is the world's first graphics card with PCIe 5.0 primarily addressed to gamers and, in addition to 4,096 shader units and 16 GB GDDR6, offers a computing power of 14.4 TFLOPS, which puts it on par with current GeForce, Radeon and Arc graphics cards. This is made possible by the latest MUSA architecture.
As part of its annual in-house exhibition, Moore Threads Technology, a Chinese semiconductor manufacturer based in Beijing, presented, among other things, the MTT S80, a multimedia and gaming graphics card for the Chinese market. The fledgling company, founded in 2020 by former Nvidia GM Zhang Jianzhong, will boast the world's first PCIe 5.0 graphics card for consumers and gamers starting November 11.

4,096 ALUs, 16 GB GDDR6 and PCIe 5.0
The Moore Threads MTT S80 uses a cooling concept with three fans that is a little more than two slots high, which is visually reminiscent of the reference design of the Radeon RX 6000 series, and offers the following specifications based on the latest MUSA architecture (“Chunxiao”) and key data.
- MUSA architecture
- 4,096 shader units
- 22 billion transistors
- 16 GB GDDR6 graphics memory
- 256-bit memory IF with 448 GB/s
- DirectX, Vulkan, OpenGL, OpenGL ES
- x86-64, ARM64, LoongArch
- Windows, Linux
- PCIe 5.0 x16
With 14.4 TFLOPS on par with GeForce and Radeon
The 22 billion strong “Spring Dawn” graphics processor achieves an FP32 computing power of 14.4 TFLOPS with a clock frequency of 1,800 MHz and is thus positioned between a GeForce RTX 3060 (test) and a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (test), the 12, achieve 7 TFLOPS and 16.2 TFLOPS respectively. The Radeon RX 6800 (test), which achieves 13.9 TFLOPS, is also just surpassed in terms of FP32 performance. The fast graphics memory is 16 GB and has a bandwidth of 448 GB/s. However, as usual, FP32 performance doesn't directly translate to gaming performance.

The integrated media encoder can accelerate and process AV1, h.265 and h.264 in hardware accordingly.
Release on November 11th in China
The graphics card will be released on November 11th, 2022 at an as yet unknown price and will be available in China exclusively via the e-commerce platform JD.com offered.
S3000 for server, cloud and metaverse
In addition to the MTT S80, the manufacturer also presented the S3000, a passively cooled server graphics card with 32 GB GDDR6 and 15.2 TFLOPS, which is based on the same architecture and is also connected via PCIe 5.0 x16.
