中国人工智能芯片制造商Iluvatar CoreX首次亮相其首款超节点系统，该系统将144个图形处理单元（GPU）压缩至单个机柜内，创下工业纪录。
Chinese AI chipmaker Iluvatar CoreX debuted its first supernode system, a computing system that squeezes 144 graphics processing units (GPUs) into a single cabinet, breaking an industrial record.
该新产品名为“天盖300 IXL144”，于周一在上海2026年中国国际工业博览会（CIIF）上首次亮相。根据公司介绍，该系统专为大规模人工智能模型训练和推理设计，将144个GPU和18个中央处理单元（CPU）集成于单个机柜，并拥有约10.1太字节的内存。
The new product, dubbed the Tiangai 300 IXL144, was unveiled on Monday at the 2026 China International Industry Fair (CIIF) in Shanghai. Designed for large-scale AI model training and inference, the system packs 144 GPUs and 18 central processing units (CPUs) into a single cabinet and boasts around 10.1 terabytes of memory, according to the company.
超节点将计算、存储、网络、管理和软件框架深度融合为单一超级计算机。随着美国出口管制持续限制对英伟达先进芯片的获取，同时人工智能需求激增，互联互通的机柜系统日益被视为扩展算力的资源。
Supernodes deeply integrate computation, storage, networking, management and software frameworks into a single supercomputer. As US export controls continue to restrict access to advanced chips from Nvidia alongside surging AI demand, the proliferation of interconnected cabinet systems is increasingly seen as a resource to scale computing power.
Iluvatar表示，该系统具备灵活的单机柜架构，其在提升效率方面的努力可使每100万个有效token的成本相比“主流国际替代方案”降低40%。
Iluvatar said that the system had a flexible single-cabinet architecture and that its efforts in improving efficiency could lower the cost per 1 million valid tokens by 40 per cent compared with “mainstream international alternatives”.
Iluvatar的这一举措凸显了中国芯片公司——从华为技术等科技巨头到纯玩人工智能芯片制造商——正争相推出搭载自研芯片的超节点产品。Iluvatar在国内市场属于相对晚进入者，其超节点系统的发布时间比同行MetaX和Enflame晚数月，这发生在公司面临激烈压力以确立市场地位的背景下。
“超节点不是单一产品，而是一项系统工程项目，其终极竞争在于经济效率，”Iluvatar副总裁邹轩表示。
The move by Iluvatar reflects how Chinese chip companies – from tech giants like Huawei Technologies to pure-play AI chipmakers – are rushing to unveil supernode products that host self-developed chips. Iluvatar is a relative latecomer in the domestic market as its supernode systems come months after those of its peers, MetaX and Enflame, amid the intense pressure to establish market“A supernode isn’t a single product, but a systems engineering project where the ultimate competition is over economic efficiency,” said Zou Xuan, vice-president of Iluvatar.
该公司称其天盖芯片系列已实现1万卡规模部署，这为公司在系统级交付和运维方面积累了关键经验。
The company said its Tiangai chip series had already achieved 10,000-card scale deployments, which equipped the company with crucial experience in system-level delivery and operations maintenance.
超节点产品是 Iluvatar 为推动其产品组合升级至下一代人工智能计算板所作更广泛努力的一部分。根据高盛最近的一份研究报告，这些产品“搭载更强的算力和更高的平均售价”。
Supernode products are part of Iluvatar’s broader efforts to promote its product mix upgrade towards next-generation AI computing boards, which “carry stronger computing power and higher average selling prices”, according to a recent research note by Goldman Sachs.
CIIF 展览现场还展出了 MetaX 和 Enflame 两家 Iluvatar 竞争对手的产品。
The CIIF exhibition floor also featured products from MetaX and Enflame – two rivals of Iluvatar.
本次活动自周一至周五举行，MetaX 在现场展出了其 Xijing S600 超节点，该产品将 64 颗完全互联的 GPU 集成于一个机柜内，可扩展至 1 万张卡的集群规模。
At the event, which runs from Monday to Friday, MetaX displayed its Xijing S600 supernode, which packs 64 fully interconnected GPUs into a cabinet and is able to scale up to 10,000-card clusters.
Enflame 由腾讯控股支持，展出了其 CloudBlazer ESL64-O 高性能超节点系统，该系统采用正交硬件架构，由 Enflame 与通信设备公司中兴通讯共同研发。上述两款产品均于 7 月份发布。
Enflame, backed by Tencent Holdings, showcased its CloudBlazer ESL64-O, a high-performance supernode system using an orthogonal hardware architecture, which it co-developed with telecommunications equipment company ZTE. Both products were unveiled in July.
Iluvatar 今年早些时候在香港上市，2026 年上半年首次实现盈利，净利润达 1.06 亿元人民币（约合 1583 万美元），收入同比激增超过 191%，达到 9.457 亿元人民币，其中核心通用 GPU 产品贡献收入 9.161 亿元人民币。
Iluvatar, which went public in Hong Kong earlier this year, swung to profitability for the first time in the first half of 2026, posting a net profit of 106 million yuan (US$15.83 million). Revenue surged over 191 per cent to 945.7 million yuan, with its core general-purpose GPU products generating 916.1 million yuan.
