Chinese founder Loongson announces its 6000 range with up to 32 cores, competing with AMD Ryzen 3

the founder Loongson has big ambitions in the processor market. THE Chinese firm has unveiled its roadmap until 2025, with 6000 generation processors equipped with LA664 cores. The 3C6000 and 3D6000 processors will have 16 and 32 cores respectively, enough to compete (on paper) with an AMD Ryzen 3 or an EPYC processor. Note that the processors of the current 5000 range (3A5000 and 3C5000/3C5000L) have 4 to 16 cores maximum and are already capable of competing with certain Intel Comet Lake processors (on single-thread performance).

So of course, that Loongson manages to compete with processors over 2 years old is not really an achievement in itself, but the Chinese founder is starting from a very long way and still has the final objective of being one of the biggest. international founders (which may allow China to completely do without Intel or AMD chips). The 7000 generation, whose launch is scheduled for 2024-2025, should have 16 to 64 cores and much better performance per watt (new sinews of processor war).
