Moore Threads announced its first two graphics cards on March 30, 2022, the MTT S60 for PC desktops and workstations, and the MTT S2000 for servers. Both are based on 12nm GPUs built using the MUSA architecture, and the MTT S60 was demoed at the event playing League of Legends at 1080p.

Founded in October 2020 and broke cover in late 2021 with the announcement that it would become China's first fully-featured GPU company.  The founder and CEO of Moore Threads, Jianzhong Zhang, made his first public appearance in his current role. The founder is a former global VP of Nvidia and GM in China and has been deeply involved in the graphics business for 15 years. He has a strong supporting team with experience across the industry in China and abroad.

In the Q&A session, the CEO of Moore Treads echoed the wisdom that graphics card drivers and support software are extremely important to a successful product. From his claims, it sounds like his company has everything covered in this department too. For example, the MUSA architecture is said to have to support OpenCL, SYCL, CUDA, Vulkan, DirectX, OpenGL / GLES and other mainstream programming interfaces. Additionally, these GPUs will work with systems based on either x86 and Arm processors and all China mainstream OSes.
