Moore Threads Launches Arm-Based MTT AI Book

Moore Threads launched the MTT AI Book on February 21, 2026, a 14-inch thin-and-light laptop powered by its in-house MT1000 (Yangtze) Arm SoC with 12 cores, an MUSA-based GPU, and an NPU up to 50 TOPS. The machine includes 32 GB LPDDR5X-7500, 1 TB SSD, 2.8K 120 Hz OLED, runs Linux AIOS with Windows supported in a VM, costs 9,999 CNY (~$1,447), and early Geekbench results (1,127 single, 7,420 multi) indicate CPU performance trails comparable x86 chips.
