China's Loongson chips due in 2023 on par with Ryzen 5000
China's Loongson chips due in 2023 on par with Ryzen 5000
Homegrown chips remain behind for now, but for how much longer?
I read somewhere, loonson was going to change ISA to risc-v, can't remember when. But this article shows they'll keep on mips, apparently ("his company plans to build out a software ecosystem that will allow Chinese users to run more applications on the LoongArch ISA natively")?
I think they should move to risc-v. I know mips ISA was open sourced as well, one or two years back, but still...
I'm not sure if loongson has any risc-v projects going, but there are a few other companies doing some risc-v development.
Sooo are they going to be exporting those? Specifically exporting them to places now barred by sanctions from getting western chips?
I see no reason why they wouldn't.
Several Chinese companies have refused to sell their products to Russia in the wake of the sanctions onslaught last year. Lenovo for example had joined on the sanctions, while others stated no reasons, but didn't progress with negotiations - there was this HK avionics maker, whose name escapes me at the moment.
highly doubtful
