In terms of the contributions and achievements of the chip industry, the United States has always been at the forefront. Almost all kinds of groundbreaking inventions and technologies originated in the United States, and without companies such as Intel and Nvidia, human CPUs and GPU processes would have been set back for many years. However, Chinese chip manufacturers are also continuing to work hard and have already shined internationally. The latest results were released, ranking second, and being selected into the world chip contribution list, Loongson Zhongke made another great contribution.

Loongson Zhongke is a representative giant in China's chip industry, and its main product is Loongson processor, which is a series of high-performance and low-power processor chips independently developed by China. These processor chips are widely used in computers, servers, embedded systems, IoT devices, and other fields.

In the past, Loongson Zhongke also needed to obtain MIPS architecture authorization, but now Loongson Zhongke can meet the needs of chip design by relying on its self-developed Loongarch architecture, and there is no need to look at the faces of foreign manufacturers.

At the end of November, Loongson Zhongke created a new generation of general-purpose CPU Loongson 3A6000 based on the LoongArch architecture, and each R&D link was completed independently, which is another major milestone in China's chip industry. Unexpectedly, this is just the beginning, Loongson Zhongke has already won glory for Chinese chips in the world.

According to the official news released by Loongson Zhongke on December 4, China ranked second in the 2022-2023 world chip contribution list, and Loongson Zhongke was successfully selected into the annual world chip achievement list and institution list. At the same time, Hu Weiwu, chairman of Loongson Zhongke, was also selected into the annual world chip contribution list.

Being included in these lists shows that Chinese chips have been greatly recognized in the world. The International Testing Committee invited many scientists to select 97 representative achievements from tens of thousands of chip achievements in 2022-2023, and produced an annual talent list, a national list, and an institution list.

The greater the contribution to the chip field, the higher the ranking, China can rank second in the national list, and Loongson Zhongke has made great contributions.

Loongson's contribution to Chinese chips is obvious, not to mention anything else, a single LoongArch architecture is enough to change the status quo of China's chip industry. This architecture is a completely self-developed instruction set of Loongson Zhongke, which has officially announced the authorization model of the LoongArch architecture, that is, a one-time authorization will never charge a share.

After the customer obtains the LoongArch architecture license, the proceeds from the sale of chips are counted as theirs. Unlike the ARM architecture, the chip ARM sold by the customer also charges a royalty, and it is not allowed to modify the instruction set at will, which greatly reduces the degree of freedom.

Loongson's vision is to build China's independent information technology system, build a basic platform through Loongarch, and add more software and hardware manufacturers to it for more comprehensive adaptation processing. In this way, consumers can choose domestic information technology platforms in addition to foreign operating systems and chips.

Of course, this requires the joint efforts of all parties, and Loongson Zhongke alone is not enough. The rise of Chinese chips requires a long period of precipitation and accumulation.

Fortunately, we see that companies like Loongson Zhongke are working hard, and all the efforts will not be in vain. China's choice of the world's chip contribution list is the best proof, and we look forward to more progress and breakthroughs in Chinese chips.
