Chinese Chipmaker Loongson Makes Innovative Moves

Chinese chipmaker Loongson Technology recently launched a printer main control chip, the Loongson 2P0500, according to chinadaily. It is said that the chip is the first of its kind based on an independent command system.

As the core component of a printer, the Loongson 2P0500 is expected to be used more frequently by Chinese printer makers.

Loongson Technology also unveiled its own processor architecture, the Loongson 3A6000, that has performance parity with 14th Gen CPUs unveiled by Intel in clock-to-clock tests.

It is said that the Loongson 3A6000 is the latest general-purpose processor with the country’s own architecture and design. It can run applications on different platforms for complex tasks.

Hu Weiwu, chairman of Loongson Technology has said previously that more efforts are required to support homegrown innovation in leading technology products and services such as chips and operating systems.

In 2018, domestic processors such as Loongson, ShenWei, and Phytium were included in China’s government procurement plans.
