Come Together, Unite for AI | SIXUNITED Builds a Full-Stack AI Ecosystem Over 18 Years, Embarking on a Ten-Billion-Yuan Journey to the Pinnacle of the Era


On February 1, 2026, the 18th-anniversary gala of SIXUNITED was grandly held at the Qianhai International Conference Center in Shenzhen. With the theme "Together Forward, United by AI," the gala brought together nearly 2,000 participants, including government representatives from various regions, Intel, key supply chain partners, important customers, industry organizations, mainstream media, and all employees of SIXUNITED. Together, they looked back on the company's 18-year journey of development, systematically showcased SIXUNITED's strategic leap from a manufacturing enterprise to a full-stack AI service provider, and unveiled on-site the dual targets for 2026: 10 billion yuan in revenue and shipments of 15 million units, marking a full-scale sprint toward the industry's leading ranks.

 

 

PART.1 Beyond

Eighteen years of weathering storms and braving the elements have forged us into a leader in full-stack AI.

The gala kicked off with a sand art performance that looked back on SIXUNITED’s 18-year journey. Amidst the flowing sands and shifting light, the performance vividly depicted the company’s remarkable evolution—from its humble beginnings in Shanghai in 2007 to its current global footprint. “Exceeding” has been the core keyword throughout SIXUNITED’s 18-year journey. Starting from early IDH contract manufacturing, the company gradually upgraded to become an ODM/OEM solution provider, and now it has evolved into a full-stack AI infrastructure service provider covering smart PCs, servers, workstations, and AI software and hardware solutions. Throughout countless industrial cycles and technological waves, SIXUNITED has consistently pushed itself beyond previous limits.

 

As Cao Yalian, Chairman of SIXUNITED, recalled in his speech, the past 18 years have not simply been a matter of accumulating time; rather, they represent a continuous journey of tackling tough challenges and fighting long-term battles. Since launching its “All in AI” strategy in 2024, SIXUNITED shipped nearly 10 million units in 2025. Its independently developed AI assistant and EAM enterprise intelligence management platform have been deeply integrated into diverse industry scenarios, demonstrating the value of deep technological expertise and strategic steadfastness. Mr. Cao also emphasized that every leap forward made by SIXUNITED has been driven by technological innovation and supported by its ecosystem partners.

PART.2 Pooling Strength

All in AI: From Strategic Insights to Capability Realization

While looking back on the 18-year journey of development, the gala event showcased SIXUNITED's phased achievements in building integrated software and hardware capabilities. Centered around the core direction of edge-side AI, SIXUNITED has established a diverse portfolio of AI terminal products spanning laptops, tablets, mini PCs, all-in-one computers, desktops, servers, and workstations, thereby creating a comprehensive computing power ecosystem that extends from individual users to enterprises and from the edge to the cloud. On the hardware front, the company has deeply adapted to mainstream computing platforms such as Intel, continuously optimizing key aspects including CPU, GPU, and NPU collaborative scheduling, as well as balancing power consumption and performance. At the same time, SIXUNITED is steadily advancing its domestic supply chain integration and multi-platform collaboration strategy, building a more resilient and sustainable AI hardware foundation.

At the software and scenario levels, SIXUNITED leverages ecosystem co-creation as a key driver to accelerate the widespread adoption of AI capabilities. Relying on Intel’s AI Transformation Program, the company’s independently developed personal AI assistant has already entered millions of households, becoming an important platform that makes edge-side AI capabilities “visible and readily usable.” For enterprise-level applications, the company’s self-developed EAM enterprise intelligence agent has undergone scenario-specific validation across multiple industries, providing an intelligent engine for organizational management, business collaboration, and decision support. Meanwhile, “out-of-the-box” full-stack AI solutions have been scaled up and implemented in sectors such as education, law, and finance, propelling AI from pilot applications toward genuine productivity.

By continuously refining the full-stack closed loop of "hardware computing power + software platform + industry-specific intelligent agents," SIXUNITED is accelerating the bridging of the "last mile" from AI technological breakthroughs to scenario applications, and from product delivery to the realization of commercial value.

 

 

PART.3 Ecology

Resonating at the same frequency to build an open and win-win AI community.

Alone we go fast; together we go far. The growth story of SIXUNITED is precisely a collaborative journey undertaken hand in hand with its ecosystem partners.

In his speech, Gao Yu, General Manager of Intel's Technology Division in China, reviewed the 12-year journey of deep cooperation between the two sides. Since joining Intel CTE’s ecosystem in 2014, SIXUNITED has been engaged in joint innovation on AI PCs and edge-side AI computing platforms.
