Loongson said at its 2026 interim results briefing the 9A1000 graphics card is
expected to begin sales in H1 next year, with final pricing to depend mainly on
LPDDR4 memory costs. The 9A1000 is being pitched as both a GPU and an AI
accelerator—comparable with AMD’s RX550 in open markets but with stronger
competitiveness in markets demanding higher hardware autonomy. Loongson said the
card can meet most embodied-intelligence application requirements and that some
customers have already started developing agents based on the 9A1000.
