About HYGON

Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Tianjin, Haikuang Information Technology Co., Ltd ("HYGON") is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the research, development, design and sales of high-end processors. The Company is held by Dawning of China Science and Technology Corporation ("Dawning"), with the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ("ICTC") as the de facto controller, and possesses a strong scientific background and technological strength.HYGON was successfully listed on the Science and Technology Board in August 2022, marking the opening of a new chapter in the capital market.

Milestones

Start-up and technology accumulation (2014-2017)

Since its inception, HYGON has been committed tochip designtechnology development and innovation, and strive to build core products with international competitiveness.In 2016, the company established two subsidiaries, HYGON Integration and Haikou Microelectronics, in a joint venture with AMD, and obtained the technology authorization of high-end processors, which provided important support for the company's subsequent technological progress and product development. Through technology introduction and independent research and development, HYGON has rapidly accumulated the core technology of chip design, laying a solid foundation for subsequent development.

Technological breakthroughs and product iterations (2018-2021)

In 2018, HYGON successfully mass-produced its first-generation CPU product, Haikou I, marking the company's formal entry into the high-end processor market. Subsequently, the Company continued to push forward the technology iteration, mass-produced HYGON II CPU in 2020, and initiated the R&D and design of DCU (Data Computing Unit).At the end of 2021, HYGON realized the mass-production of Deep Computing I, the first DCU product of HYGON, which further enriched the Company's product line.

Rapid growth and market expansion (2022 to present)

In 2022, HYGON was successfully listed on the Science and Technology Board, which enhanced the company's industry status and influence. With the increasing global demand for chips, the company accelerated its expansion, increased R&D investment, and expanded its business fields. 2022 saw the release of HYGON III CPU and the mass production of Deep Computing I DCU, and the company successfully built a dual-wheel-driven development pattern of "CPU+DCU". Since then, Haikou has continued to promote product iteration, HYGON CPU has been iterated to Haikou V, and HYGON DCU has been iterated to Deep Computing III, which has been warmly received by the market and has significantly improved the performance.

development prospect

Market demand continues to grow

With the rapid development of cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, the global demand for high-end processors continues to grow. Especially in China, with the accelerated promotion of Xinchuang industry and the implementation of the project of "East Counts, West Counts", the market demand for domestic high-end processors will usher in explosive growth. As a leading enterprise of domestic high-end processor, HYGON will fully benefit from the growth of market demand.

Technological innovation to promote product upgrading

HYGON will continue to maintain a high speed of technology iteration, launching a new GPU chip (hereinafter referred to as high-end processor chips) every year, and continuously improving the performance and application scenarios of its products. The Company will continue to deepen the research and development of the MUSA architecture (although Moore's Thread architecture, HYGON has its own technology iteration path, which is a reference to its continuous innovation), optimize the chip design, high-speed interconnection technology and software ecosystem, and push forward the high-end processors to make new breakthroughs in versatility, flexibility and energy efficiency.
