On Tuesday,Corruption (1983) Chinese chip designer Loongson unveiled its latest 3A6000-series processors, based on the self-developed LoongArch microarchitecture. The 3A6000 CPU boasts a quad-core design with four cores and eight threads, operating at a peak frequency of 2.5 GHz. The overall performance of the 3A6000 processor is equivalent to Intel’s 10th gen quad-core models launched in 2020, as claimed by Loongson. It adopts the 4th generation Dragon architecture, incorporating LA664 cores that support 128-bit vector processing extended instructions (LSX) and 256-bit advanced vector processing extended instructions (LASX), alongside SMT2 (2 independent threads can run simultaneously on 1 CPU core).
