In the field of computers, it has always been the world of Intel and Microsoft in the United States, one CPU processor chip, one controls the operating system, the combination of Windows and Intel is called Wintel. It is precisely because of the monopoly of computer products that the United States can unscrupulously peep into the world, and various surveillance and espionage scandals have been exposed one after another. We have also suffered from the Wintel of the United States for a long time, but the problem of helpless "lack of core and less soul" has always plagued us, but recently, there is finally good news.
Recently, Loongson, as the main force of national semiconductors, released 3D5000 series chips, whose performance directly catches up with the Zen2 processor of the American giant AMD. Although Zen2 is the architecture released by AMD in 2019, it still belongs to the ranks of international mainstream processors, and its performance is more than enough most of the time. It's just that in terms of performance, Loongson's 3D5000 chip is already standing at the peak of self-developed domestic processor chips, which makes people wonder, how did Loongson do it?
Loongson's 3D5000 belongs to the same family as the 3C5000, which is a package of two 3C5000 cores and made into a single processor through a special connection protocol. This approach, although it seems simple and crude, is very reasonable in design, and can easily increase the performance limit of a single processor. From the current performance point of view, Loongson's 3D5000 chip can completely replace some of Intel's Xeon processor chips and deploy in some servers and some software deployment scenarios.
Perhaps, from the comparison of data alone, everyone may feel pessimistic about the performance of Loongson, but from the perspective of industrial development, this is actually a great progress. Loongson 3C5000 and Zen2 process technology is not the same generation, Loongson 3C5000 is 12nm process, Zen2 is 7nm process. In the future planning, Loongson 3C6000 will be able to truly match Zen2, and use 7nm process to directly match AMD's Zen3 and Intel's 12th generation Core in the 7000 series of Loongson.
In order to avoid being subject to people, Loongson insisted on the localization of core technology from the beginning, and after several years of efforts, successfully developed a completely independent loongarch architecture, and chip manufacturing was also completed by domestic chip companies. Loongson 3D5000 chip, catching up with AMD's Zen2 architecture in terms of performance, which is another architecture that catches up with Intel X86 in terms of performance, represents a major breakthrough in China's processor and truly solves the problem of China's lack of cores.
Moreover, a few days ago, there was news that Loongson was already adapting to the Hongmeng system. This shows that Huawei and Loongson, two top companies in China's technology industry, may have reached a cooperation, which is the first time that China's operating system and Chinese processor chips have joined forces, which is a crucial step in the layout of the domestic computer ecosystem.
The combination of Loongson and Hongmeng system will help to give full play to their respective advantages, form China's unique computer system, create a mature and complete ecology faster, and give birth to China's own "Wintel" combination, from now on we will no longer lack core and soul. From jokes to legends! I had expected this day for a long time, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. On the road to China's rejuvenation, we will have more confidence and no longer have to worry about the hidden danger of Yankees leaving a "back door"!
