Former Apple engineer launches XR 5nm chip to challenge Vision Pro

Cát Tiên |

The new GravityXR chip developed by a former Apple engineer is putting great pressure on the Vision Pro with outstanding performance and a design optimized for wearables.

The appearance of the Jizhi G-X100, an AI-interactive XR chip developed by GravityXR, is attracting special attention in the global technology world, especially when this product is led by Wang Chaohao, a former engineer in Apple's expand reality department.

With the new announcement, GravityXR expects to create a direct counterweight to the Apple Vision Pro, the device that is considered the highest standard of the current mixed reality industry.

The Jizhi G-X100 is positioned as the first all-in-one XR chip in China using the 5nm process, marking an important step forward for the country's semiconductor industry in creating a hardware platform for space computing.

According to GravityXR, the chip is designed to work on both super light AI smart glasses and high-performance XR headphones, helping to expand the possibility of application in daily life and professional environments.

The notable highlight of the G-X100 is the ability to calculate space ( spatial computing), allowing the device to read, analyze and combine the real environment with virtual coatings accurately and seamlessly.

Compact size and energy-saving capabilities make the chip suitable for small wearables that require complex processing.

One of the most daring statements from GravityXR is that their new chip has only reached a latency of 9 million seconds, 12 million seconds lower than the Apple Vision Pro.

Although the difference is only a few thousand seconds, this is an important factor in the virtual reality experience, helping to reduce the phenomenon of movement delays and bring a smoother feel of stepping into roles.

If this parameters are verified, the G-X100 could become a formidable competitor in the premium XR hardware segment dominated by Apple.

Wang Chaohao's journey, from Apple engineer to startup founder, competes directly with Apple, reflecting the wave of shifting high-quality technology human resources in China.

Chaohao's academic foundation at Stanford University and hands-on experience at Apple have earned great trust from the market.

GravityXR has attracted investment capital from HongShan (Sequoia China), Gaorong Capital, Goertek and especially miHoYo, the game developer behind Genshin Impact.

Strong support from large corporations shows confidence in the development capabilities of China's XR ecosystem.

With the Jizhi G-X100, GravityXR is gradually positioning itself in the global mixed reality race.
