Discussion Bolt Graphics Zeus GPU

[marees]

Bolt Graphics unveils Zeus, a specialized GPU targeting path tracing, CAD, and HPC applications with expandable memory up to 384GB and integrated RISC-V cores. The company claims Zeus 4c delivers 13× RTX 5090 ray-tracing performance, while Zeus 1c provides 3.25× improvement. However, these claims rely entirely on internal simulations. Zeus trades traditional shader performance (10–20 TFLOPS versus RTX 5090’s 105 TFLOPS) for ray-tracing optimization. Developer kits arrive in 2026, with mass production in 2027, creating uncertainty about real-world performance versus ambitious projections.

An HPC accelerator / GPU with RISC-V. Why does that remind me of Larrabee that lead to Xeon Phi?

Vaporware at this point (dev kit by Q4'25), but worth following.
