Leading domestic computing chip company Hygon Information (688041.SH) recently held a product launch event in Shenzhen titled “Unleashing Edge Computing Power – Driving the Physical World,” officially releasing the Hygon 1000 Series CPU. This is Hygon’s first chip targeting physical world scenarios such as industrial control, marking the company’s official extension of technical capabilities from servers and data centers to edge devices.
Hygon’s President Sha Chaoqun stated at the launch that computing power is sinking from the cloud to the edge and device sides. AI must not only run in data centers but also land in real physical world scenarios such as factories, energy sites, rail transit, and medical equipment. The 1000 Series is not a single chip but a product family that can flexibly allocate CPU, GPU, and NPU computing power according to different scenario requirements.
Technically, the 1000 Series adopts the C86 architecture with a typical TDP as low as 10W, supports PCIe 4.0 and DDR4/DDR5 memory, integrates an iGPU supporting dual 4K60 displays, and features a built-in security processor supporting Chinese national cryptographic algorithms. The product is priced between $40-$80 and offers a 10-year continuous supply guarantee.
Industry statistics show that China’s industrial automation market reached approximately RMB 280 billion in 2025, with the industrial PC market at about RMB 12.04 billion and annual demand approaching 5 million units. Global edge computing spending is expected to grow from $261 billion in 2025 to $380 billion in 2028.
