In recent years, the technology competition between the United States and China has become increasingly fierce, and chips, as the core of technological development, are regarded as an important card in the technology race. However, for a long time, China's shortcomings in the field of chips have been the focus of attention, and dependence on imports has become the biggest hidden danger. However, it cannot be ignored that in the past few decades, China's chip manufacturers have been moving forward silently, and Loongson is one of the leaders. Founded in 2001, Loongson has been committed to independent research and development and production of chips for more than 20 years. Recently, Loongson Zhongke officially released a new generation of self-developed general-purpose processor Loongson 3A6000, which made the Chinese chip, which is full of future potential, once again attracted the attention of foreign media.
Loongson's pursuit of chip autonomy and controllability is not easy, they started from the most upstream instruction set, patiently polished step by step, and gradually leveled the key in research and development: chip architecture. In the past two decades, Loongson has always adhered to the principle of independent innovation and launched fierce competition with American chip giants. For a long time, Chinese companies have been relatively passive in the CPU field, because the United States and the West have monopolized two mainstream chip architectures, namely ARM and Intel x86 architecture, which has hindered the development of Chinese companies' chips. However, with the advent of Loongson's self-developed LoongArch architecture, China's chip industry has gained new hope. Based on this domestic architecture, Loongson has launched a domestic CPU whose performance is comparable to that of Intel and AMD.
The latest Loongson 3A6000 has achieved 100% localization, which is not only independent and controllable in architecture, but more importantly, the entire industrial chain manufacturing has independent and controllable capabilities. At the same time, the chip only needs a 28nm production line, and does not need to rely on the chip manufacturing process below 7nm. In terms of performance, Loongson 3A6000 can also be comparable to mainstream Western chips. Compared with foreign CPUs, Loongson also has a built-in national cryptography algorithm, which provides higher security.
In addition to technological innovation and autonomous controllability, Loongson also shoulders an important mission. As an important member of China's chip industry, Loongson not only meets the needs of various special industries (such as satellites, radars, domestic server switches, etc.), but also becomes China's "Noah's Ark" to prevent chip supply interruptions. In the face of the rupture of foreign chips**, Loongson's independent R&D and localization characteristics enable China to better respond to emergencies and ensure information security and national interests.
For the development of China's chip industry, Loongson's breakthrough is a milestone. Through more than 20 years of efforts, Loongson has gradually become famous in the field of chips from the initial exploration to today's independent research and development and production. In particular, the Loongson 3A6000 launched by Loongson not only has internationally competitive performance, but also has the important characteristics of localization and independent controllability. Moreover, China's chip industry is gradually getting rid of its dependence on foreign chips and moving towards a field of self-reliance and all-round competition. Loongson's success inspires the hearts of China's chip industry, and also provides a strong demonstration and reference for other domestic chip manufacturers. In the future, China's chip industry will continue to usher in new breakthroughs and progress, let's wait and see!
