Recently, one was held in BeijingDomestic CPUAt the product launch,LoongsonThe company has released the most advanced processor-Loongson3a6000。It is self-developed as a domestic productChipsAn important milestone for this processor in terms of performance andSoftwareMajor breakthroughs have been made in ecological construction. This article will provide a comprehensive description and analysis of this important event.
LoongsonIt is a CPU brand independently developed by China, and has been committed to self-research in the past few yearsInstruction setArchitecture。Unlike other brands,LoongsonInsist on not using ready-made onesarm, RISC-V, etcArchitecture, and instead choose frommipsInstruction setArchitecturegot started and launched its own LoongArch in 2020Instruction setArchitecture。However, in the lackSoftwareEcological case, useLoongsonThe processor is still facing some difficulties. Therefore,LoongsonThe company decided to proceed with the solutionSoftwareThe problem of ecological scarcity, and a series of improvements have been made on the ** processor 3A6000.
Loongson3A6000 processor14nmprocess, the main frequency is 25ghz。Compared to the previous generation, singleThreadsPerformance improved by 60%.Multi-threadedPerformance improved by 100%, closelyIntelThe level of the 10th generation Core i3. This is a considerable breakthrough in terms of processor performance gains. And more importantly,LoongsonInSoftwareA series of efforts have also been made to build an ecosystem.
In order to solveSoftwareThe problem of ecological scarcity,LoongsonThe company will own its loongarchInstruction setArchitectureOpen source, allowing developers to build operating systems on top of it, and already supports multiple types of systems. At the same time, some well-known applications such as QQ, WeChat, WPS, NetEase Cloud**, Tencent**, etc. are also gradually inLoongsonExpansion and entry on the platform. Predictably, over time,LoongsonThe processor will have a much richer set of processorsSoftwareEcology. In addition,LoongsonAlso adoptedBinaryTranslation technology to run x86 applications, similar to Apple fromIntelTurn to your own homeChipswhen adopting the solution. By translation,LoongsonThe processor can get the computer running x86 and linux firstSoftwareand then gradually address the other migrated overSoftwareand applications. This flexible solution makes:LoongsonThe availability of the processor is greatly improved.
LoongsonThe future was also mentioned at the press conferenceProduct planning, including follow-ups that have already been designedChips3B6000 and 3C6000. Among them, 3C6000 uses a single silicon wafer with 16 cores and 32 coresThreadsdesign, and uses dragon chain technology for inter-chip interconnection, which can be used inChipsSeek new breakthroughs in technology. From a performance standpoint,LoongsonThe progress will be faster and faster.
In addition, it is worth mentioning thatLoongsonAlso with the giants of the PC consumer marketAsusCooperate. AsusThe General Manager of Greater China presented the customized one at the press conferenceLoongsonThe processor board u scheme and says yesOverclockingThe 3A6000 processor is up to 3GHz, and there is no problem in testing in extreme environments. This collaboration means that the future may be possibleLoongsonprocessor'sROG notebookand complete products.
In addition,LoongsonNetwork switching with integrated CPU IP has also been launched with partnersChipsXL63 and implementedChipsFull autonomy and controllability at the level. This also signsLoongsonof loongarchArchitectureThe product enters for the first timeNetwork switchesproducts, showing more third partiesChipsAble to useLoongsonUniqueArchitectureDevise.
This timeLoongsonNew product launchDemonstratedLoongsonThe company has made an important breakthrough in the field of independent CPU. LoongsonThe 3A6000 processor not only achieves a huge boost in performance, but alsoSoftwareA series of innovative measures have also been taken in terms of ecological construction. By open-source loongarchArchitecture, the introduction of well-known applications, and adoptionBinaryTranslation technology,LoongsonThe processor gradually has a more complete oneSoftwareEcology.
LoongsonThe company has made it clear that it wants people to buy in the futureLoongsonThe processor is not because it wants to support autonomy, but because it is based on price-performance considerations. PresentLoongsonThe processor is already closeInteland other mainstream brands, there will be more breakthroughs in the future. withLoongsonThe development of processors, we have reason to believe,Domestic CPUwill gradually occupy a place in the market and for our countryTechnologyAutonomous and controllable provide solid support.
