Due to the increasing requirements for chips in emerging industries such as new energy vehicles and artificial intelligence, the use of chips has gradually expanded to other emerging industries from traditional consumer electronics such as mobile phones and computers to industries such as medicine and home appliances. This means that the position of chips is becoming more and more important, and it has become the basis for the development of contemporary science and technology.
Although the United States, Europe and the United States and other European and American countries have strong latecomer capabilities, and there are many world-famous chip companies, looking at the development process of Chinese chips, it can be found that the development speed of Chinese chips is very fast, and many aspects have reached the world's leading level.
According to information released by authoritative sources, China currently has the world's top 10 companies, including SMIC, Hua Hong Semiconductor (Hua Hong), Northern Chang, etc., as well as many Chinese semiconductor companies.
In addition, more than half of the Chinese enterprises have participated in the RISC-V architecture, and Alibaba has released the world's first chip development platform based on the RISC-V architecture. With the full investment of Hubble, Huawei is also vigorously promoting the "China Chip" in the domestic chip production chain, and jointly developing 14 nm EDA software and Taishan architecture with Huawei.
In fact, not long ago, a positive news released by a Chinese semiconductor manufacturer attracted the attention of many people at home and abroad, and even foreign media commented: This debut result is quite good. This is Loongson Technology.
Not long ago, China Loongson Zhongke released the self-developed Loongson 3A600 chip, which is completely independently developed and can compete with Intel's 10th generation Core, and all indicators are at the world's advanced level.
In addition, Loongson also publicly stated in a previous investor interactive platform: "Loongson" is based on the Loongson architecture, with the core of improving its performance, and its security is also one of its major features. At present, many Loongson chips have completed the second phase of verification of commercial confidential encryption modules.
It can be inferred that in the near future, Loongson will release a series of domestic chips one after another, which also represents China's development in the field of chips, in a real sense, breaking the monopoly of this industry!This is a great opportunity.
In addition, the Loongson chip is based on:"Loongson"The architecture, based on the most basic root control system, is researched and developed on its own, and its secrecy is so good that there is no need to worry about it at all"Throttling"Question, so to speak"100% self-developed by China Chip"。
Compared with SMIC, Shanghai Semiconductor, Yangtze River Storage, Huawei and other national semiconductor companies, Loongson's reputation does not seem so loud, but in fact, it is not inferior to domestic first-class semiconductor companies in terms of technical level and development of China's chips.
Loongson's self-developed Loongarch architecture breaks through the exclusive advantages of Intel's x86 architecture in the fields of computer processors and CPUs, and lays a solid foundation for its future development. The advent of this framework means that all Chinese chip manufacturers, including Loongson, no longer have to worry about desktop processors and CPUs"Broken halberd and sinking sand"And worried. Because of this, Loongson 3A6000 can be called a real domestic chip.
Loongson Technology was formed in 2001 by the Chinese Academy of Sciences Information and Technology Research Institute, namely Loongson Technology (hereinafter referred to as "Loongson"). From 2001 to 2008, Loongson Technology demonstrated its strong scientific and technological level and scientific capabilities, and achieved excellent results in many industries such as desktop processors and general-purpose CPUs. Almost every year, a communication CPU chip with better performance and more mature technology appears on the market.
During this period, independent research and development has achieved certain results, which has laid a solid technical foundation for Loongson Zhongke, and laid a good foundation for the subsequent development of domestic CPUs and processors.
Loongson Zhongke Technology Co., Ltd. was jointly initiated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Beijing in 2008, with the aim of industrializing the research and development of Loongson Technology over the years and the achievements made by Loongson. This is not only the beginning of the industrialization process of Loongson, but also the foundation for China's independent manufacturing of chips.
The birth of Loongson also quickly attracted international and domestic attention. Beijing ** invested 100 million, sought 100 million yuan from enterprises, and the Loongson R&D team invested 5 million to establish "Loongson". One investor said: "I also understand that if we invest in Loongson, we will definitely lose, but we have to do it!."
After the birth of Loongson, for a long time, Loongson has been in a loss-making stage, because the United States Intel, ADM, NVIDIA and other companies are the world's top in the field of CPU chips, processors and other fields, so in foreign countries, it is almost impossible for Loongson to catch up with the international advanced chips.
2015 was an inflection point, when CDH became a shareholder and achieved break-even, that is, the financing of CDH's B round of Loongson, which proved that if you want to do one thing right, you can concentrate all your resources and concentrate them together.
In 2017, Loongson achieved a revenue of more than 150 million yuan, achieved a net profit of more than 20 million yuan, and released a series of Loongson notebooks and Loongson servers in the same year. In addition, Loongson has also launched a number of projects, such as Loongson open source plan, Loongson growth plan, etc.
Loongson's profit doubled in 2018, and as of this year, Loongson's tax payment has exceeded the ** subsidy, marking its transition from the past"Blood transfusions"in liberation.
In 2019, Loongson released more than 500,000 chips, and it was not until 2020 that Loongson truly realized the importance of the processor's processor architecture, and released its independent, ecologically compatible, and technology-leading architecture in the same year. In 2021, it passed the evaluation of the national third-party intellectual achievement evaluation organization, and was officially listed in the same year.
Since then, Loongson has successively released a number of self-developed products, some of which have been in the world's leading position in performance.
Since the birth of Loongson, it has gone through a course of more than 20 years, during which there are various doubts about Loongson, some say that Loongson's chips are actually foundry, and some say that Loongson's architecture is worse than that of x86. However, it has not caused any hindrance to the development of Loongson, and now Loongson is a well-known semiconductor company in China, which has launched many chips developed and designed by itself, and has a fairly good performance.
