SHANGHAI, CN / ACCESS Newswire / February 3, 2026 / As the spring tide surges, it is the perfect moment to set sail and forge ahead. Riding the momentum of large-scale artificial intelligence development under China’s “15th Five-Year Plan,” on February 1, 2026, the “Together Forward, United by AI” SIXUNITED 18th Anniversary Appreciation Gala and 2025 Year-End Appreciation Banquet was grandly held at the Qianhai International Convention Center in Shenzhen.
Blending industrial retrospection with strategic foresight, the event comprehensively showcased SIXUNITED’s remarkable 18-year journey-from a successful IDH manufacturing enterprise to a full-stack AI service provider. Centered on three key highlights-full-stack product debut, official announcement of the RMB 10 billion revenue target, and ecosystem-driven consensus building-the event provided a practical and replicable model for China’s transition from “Made in China” to “Intelligently Made in China,” drawing widespread attention across the industry.
Eighteen Years of Deep Commitment:
From Following to Running in Parallel, Anchoring the AI Main Channel
The “15th Five-Year Plan” clearly emphasizes “promoting comprehensive AI empowerment across all industries,” an inevitable industrial trend. Cao Yalian, Chairman of SIXUNITED, noted that 18 years mark a critical milestone in the company’s evolution-from survival to independence, and from manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing. Since fully committing to All in AI in 2024, both shipment volume and revenue have steadily ranked among the top players within the CTE ecosystem, with Intel-related products accounting for the largest share.
Looking ahead to 2026, SIXUNITED has set ambitious goals of 15 million terminal shipments annually and revenue exceeding RMB 10 billion. These targets are driven by a 35% AI PC shipment ratio and the upgrading of non-laptop AI full-stack services. By strengthening cloud-edge-end R&D, focusing on AI scenario innovation, and deepening ecosystem collaboration, the company aims to steadily advance toward its objectives. Cao emphasized that the CTE ecosystem forms the foundation of AI infrastructure, and that AI PCs meet real global demand, unaffected by debates surrounding an “AI bubble.”
Gary Gao, General Manager of Intel China’s Technology Department, reflected on 12 years of collaboration, witnessing SIXUNITED’s growth from a tablet ODM to a globally leading x86 full-stack product ODM provider. At key turning points, SIXUNITED achieved three pioneering breakthroughs:

In 2017, amid shortages of Intel small-core processors, Cao formed the “Big-Core Task Force” and counter-cyclically invested in large-core products, which have since become the company’s lifeline.
During the pandemic, SIXUNITED broke the stereotype that “CTE is limited to consumer products,” entering the commercial PC market and becoming the first vendor to pass Intel vPro certification with a perfect score.
In 2024, SIXUNITED was among the first to join the AI PC Acceleration Program, launching its first AI-assisted product within a year and completing a full-stack AI terminal layout spanning AI PCs, servers, and workstations.
By foregoing short-term OEM profits and continuously increasing investment in AI R&D, SIXUNITED achieved a major leap from “product manufacturing” to “solution delivery,” firmly establishing its core competitiveness in the AI arena.
