Ex-Apple engineer unveils Chinese chip to rival Vision Pro for XR headsets, AI glasses
The Jizhi G-X100 features a photon-to-photon latency of just 9 milliseconds, faster than 12 ms for Apple’s Vision Pro
A Chinese start-up founded by a Stanford University graduate, who previously worked for Apple’s extended reality (XR) unit, is attracting attention for developing a chip that can power headsets and artificial intelligence glasses.
Founded by Wang Chaohao, GravityXR last week showcased China’s first all-in-one mixed reality (MR) chip, the Jizhi G-X100, which uses the advanced 5-nanometre node.
The product, part of a new line of chips that claim to surpass Apple in certain metrics, has attracted interest as the core component for future gadgets such as lightweight AI glasses and high-end XR headsets like Apple’s Pro Vision.
The G-X100 features a photon-to-photon latency (PTP) of just 9 milliseconds, faster than 12 ms for Apple’s Vision Pro, the Chinese company said in a statement.
