#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

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.

Got the #Loongson booting Debian Linux finally. Had to update the BIOS to get the installer to boot and the cheap USB wifi dongle kept dropping off the network. More to come once I get more time to play with it!

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

Ongoing #pinxi next #inxi updates. After the #Loongson data and upgrade, I decided to grit my research teeth and dig into #Zhaoxin 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.
-
Amazingly, someone showed up in #codeberg with an #inxi issue about #Loongson CPU support, something I have looked for data on for years. He provided 5 full sys-ci file pairs, which let me crudely emulate the cpu in test mode. Turned out the #MIPS detection failed because as of Loongson 3A5000 they have their own ISA, in other words it's its own type, forked from MIPS. Fixed the detection and many other glitches, added --loongson emulation flag, and now support works better than ever.

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.

#AlpineLinux 3.21: Lean, mean, and #LoongArch-ready
Alpine #Linux follows closely upon the release of a new #LTS kernel version: 6.12
Alpine 3.21 has a raft of other updates along with the kernel: updated development tools including .NET 9, and new desktops including KDE Plasma 6.2, LXQt 2.1, and GNOME 47
The version before this one, Alpine 3.20, added #RISCV back in May. Now, it gains another: the quite #MIPS-like Chinese #Loongson

Running #SPECCPU2017 on #China's #CPU, and More
They focus on single threaded performance with SPEC #CPU2017 rate tests running a single copy. There's a small exception for #SMT
#Loongson still can’t compete with older desktop offerings like Core i5-6600K, even if Loongson has improved performance between 3A5000 and 3A6000. Loongson needs to keep up pace of IPC improvements while dramatically increasing clock speeds if they hope to seriously compete with Intel and AMD.

#China's chipmaker's new 7nm CPUs reportedly outperform Intel's Raptor Lake — #Loongson adopts "tock-tock-tick" strategy to close gap with Intel
They have purportedly decided to switch gears, utilizing a new strategy deemed tock-tock2-tick. This method adds a second architectural design optimization "pass" before the design is ported to a smaller node. Effectively, this gives Loongson's designers more time to improve their #CPU designs before moving to new process node.
