Bolt Graphics, a Sunnyvale startup, is advancing its Zeus GPU built around a RISC‑V processor that doubles as a general‑purpose CPU, positioning the card as a standalone Linux system. The architecture replaces traditional shader‑heavy designs with fixed‑function rasterization, ray tracing and a custom SIMD engine, and ships on a PCIe 5.0 x16 board with up to 384 GB memory per module. Nvidia’s recent move to support CUDA on RISC‑V reduces software barriers, allowing Zeus to run Vulkan, DirectX 12 and major game engines alongside HPC languages. Bolt claims path‑tracing and FP64 performance that outpaces Nvidia’s RTX 5090, though real‑world validation is pending.
