The company plans to invest 250 million yuan in Yizhi Electronics using its own or raised funds, with Yizhi Electronics’ pre-investment overall valuation estimated at 2.25 billion yuan. After this investment, the company is expected to hold a 10% stake in Yizhi Electronics.Yizhi Electronics focuses on the research, design, and technological innovation of high-end processors, mastering key technologies such as high-end processor design, high-end processor SoC architecture design, processor security, processor verification, high-frequency and low-power processor implementation, advanced process physical design, advanced packaging design, and basic software. Currently, it has launched two major product series for different application scenarios, including the first-generation TF16000 series integrated processors and servers, and the second-generation TF7000 series integrated processors and corresponding boards. The third-generation TF9000 series integrated processors and board products are under development and will be launched soon.
Yizhi Electronics is one of the few domestic companies that have commercially launched ARM server processor chips. The Yizhi TF7000 series has achieved performance levels that are advanced domestically, covering multiple scenarios including artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and edge computing simultaneously. It has also completed product adaptations with several well-known domestic GPU research and development companies, establishing solid cooperative relationships in computing power servers and large model integrated machines.According to the shareholder list of Yizhi Electronics disclosed by He Sheng New Materials, Shanghai Yitu Network Technology Co., Ltd. is currently its largest shareholder, holding a 36.99% stake.
Yitu Technology, along with SenseTime, Megvii, and CloudWalk, is known as one of the “Four Little Dragons of AI”. It is committed to solving fundamental problems in machine vision, hearing, understanding, and planning, providing high-performance, high-density, and general-purpose computing power to meet the growing intelligent computing needs of cloud data centers, edge computing, and the Internet of Things. Previously, Yitu Technology released its first self-developed cloud visual inference chip, QuestCore. This chip was jointly developed by Yitu Technology and the AI chip startup team ThinkForce Yizhi Electronics.From a business perspective, He Sheng New Materials’ subsidiary, Shanghai Haixi Technology Co., Ltd., has a certain degree of synergy and complementarity with Yizhi Electronics’ business. Haixi Technology is a comprehensive high-tech enterprise engaged in the design, research and development, sales, and operation of hardware and software related to artificial intelligence, based on domestically produced AI chips. Its products include servers for intelligent computing centers, AI integrated machines, and data platforms for large models. Haixi Technology is committed to providing customers with AI infrastructure design, hardware and software construction, and computing power operation and maintenance services, and has established a complete after-sales service system with an experienced project delivery and after-sales team. Yizhi Electronics is one of the core enterprises in the domestic CPU field, possessing advanced ARM architecture,with products applied in multiple industries, designing intelligent chips that integrate top AI algorithms and advanced process technologies, thereby building an AI hardware platform and providing industry application solutions. Yizhi Electronics can support Haixi Technology in using ARM CPUs as the computing core for AI devices in various price-sensitive and heat-sensitive small scenarios; Haixi Technology can help Yizhi Electronics’ products reach downstream customers more quickly and widely.Based on business synergy and complementarity, in August 2024, Haixi Technology and Yizhi Electronics signed a cooperation agreement to collaborate on innovative intelligent applications based on the new generation of heterogeneous integrated processor chips with ARM CPUs, jointly launching fully domestically produced AI solutions for multiple industries.
