Hygon Information Technology expects to begin mass production of a next-generation CPU in 2027, director and general manager Sha Chaoqun said at the Shanghai Stock Exchange’s International Investors Conference on November 12, 2026. Sha said the company aims for performance comparable to international products; the report did not provide independent benchmark results.
According to a report by Cailian Press cited by IT Home, Sha said computing infrastructure is shifting from competition between individual chips toward system-level competition. He argued that system-level solutions will be needed to address future challenges in developing domestic large language models.
Sha described three areas of Hygon’s product lineup: DCUs for large-model training, CPUs for AI data centers, and CPUs integrating CPU, GPU and NPU capabilities for markets including on-device computing. He said the company follows a cycle of selling one generation, validating the next and developing another.
