Yuke Technology founder Xu Feixiang argues robots' slow physical task performance stems from GPU architecture mismatch, not software — architecture accounts for 70% of usability. Founded in 2025 by ex-NVIDIA GPU architects, the startup is building "Yuqi Y10," a Physical AI-native chip targeting sub-1ms sense-reason-act loops. Simulation shows 5x performance and 80% cost reduction vs. x86+Orin setups; an FPGA platform ships by year-end for testing with top Chinese robot companies, starting with industrial arm intelligence before humanoid robots.
