Hygon Information Technology expects to begin mass production of a next-generation CPU in 2027, director and general manager Sha Chaoqun said at a Shanghai Stock Exchange international investors conference on November 12, 2026. Sha said the company aims for performance comparable to international products; the report did not provide benchmark results.
According to IT Home, citing Cailian Press, Sha said computing infrastructure is shifting from competition between individual chips to competition between complete systems. He argued that system-level solutions will be needed to address challenges in developing domestic large AI models.
Sha described three areas in Hygon’s product lineup: DCUs for large-model training, CPUs for AI data centers, and processors 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.
