  1. #China’s #Loongson launches homegrown 16-core server #CPU built on #LoongArch architecture — 40W chip with DDR4 ECC and 32 PCIe lanes targets cheap SMB file, database, and web #servers
    Support for China’s local software and hardware ecosystem also appears to be a selling point
    Unlike the 36C000, which Loongson says matches Intel’s Xeon, company is positioning #3C3000 as a low-cost, high-performance #server CPU for customers that need general-purpose compute rather than AI

  2. Weird new computer arrived. While it looks like a regular mini-PC it has a Loongson 3A6000 CPU with 4 cores, 8 threads and a MIPS derived instruction set architecture (ISA). The aim is to install Chimera Linux on it, and have it be a test bed for building packages, and testing software compatibility. Depending on power consumption I might give it some server duties too.

  3. I have gotten my #Loongson 3a5000 to at least POST and make video. I'll have to get a Linux install together to run on it. Anyone know how to make the speaker stop shrieking during the UEFI shell? #loongarch

  4. #LoongArch Promoted To Being An Official Architecture For #Debian14
    Two years and a few months after LoongArch 64-bit "Loong64" was added to Debian Ports, it's now been promoted to being an official architecture for #Debian #Linux.
    LoongArch is the #CPU architecture developed by #Loongson in #China and inspired by #MIPS and #RISCVphoronix.com/news/Debian-Loong

  5. Ongoing next updates. After the data and upgrade, I decided to grit my research teeth and dig into x86 Via Centaur based CPU. As usual, I had to combine data sources to get the info on each variant. Now pinxi detects Zhaoxin, and gets advanced microarchitecture data for each known model.

    Previously this was tossed in with Centaur data, which cut off when zhaoxin split from via (cpuid family 6 > 7). And was wrong too.

    It's absurdly hard to find this cpu data.

  6. The Orange Pi Nova is an upcoming single-board PC with a Loongson 2K3000 processor, up to 32GB of DDR4 memory, 2.5 GbE and Gigabit Ethernet, and plenty of other I/O. It'll most likely be a China-only product. linuxgizmos.com/orange-pi-nova

  7. Путеводитель по китайской микроэлектронике: Loongson, Feiteng, Kunpeng, Zhaoxin, Hygon, Sunway

    Китайская индустрия создания CPU уникальна, причем, не только за счет национального калорита, но огромного многообразия производителей, каждый из которых предлагает уникальные технологические решения. Мы насчитали целых 8 производителей и выделили их уникальные архитектуры, такие как LoongArch LA464 от Loongson , FTC от Feiteng , CN86 от Zhaoxin , а также ряд других других интересных платформ и технологий, о которых вам определенно хотелось бы узнать. В этом путеводителе по китайской полупроводниковой индустрии мы рассказали о всех наиболее интересных и перспективных китайских чипмейкерах, а также об их передовых центральных процессорах.
