Chinese Loongson 3A6000 CPU delivers integer IPC close to AMD Zen 4 and Intel Raptor Lake

[Redaktion]

The Loongson 3A6000 CPU is a follow-up to the China-made 3A5000 launched in 2021. While the newer processor is still fabricated on a 12 nm process and is based on LoongArch, it has seen many improvements. The newer processor reportedly matches the integer IPC (instructions per cycle) performance of AMD Zen 4 and Intel Raptor Lake architectures.

Who cares about the integer performance of 1 core? Tests have long shown that China, with its backward technical processes, is many times inferior in performance to modern Intel/AMD processors. They have no chance of catching up with the West in mass parties in the next 10 years. Economically, they are losing even more. It is possible to make small batches of expensive processors using a backward technical process, but who will sponsor large batches? CCP, where will it get the money for this? If it arrived in one place, it left in another...

And we must remember that when in 10 years they catch up with the modern technical processes of TSMC, the West will already be +10 years ahead, unless, of course, China bombards it with nuclear bombs or destroys the social climate in the West so much that they turn into their likeness and even worse.

Therefore, the main goal of China, Russia and other odious countries is not to catch up with the West in terms of scientific and technical progress - they have no chance here if the West maintains a fruitful scientific and engineering environment, but to lower the societies of the West to a bestial state so that they do not need to catch up. They almost managed to do it...

Suck.  This is a full blown desktop CPU.  Nobody buys desktop computers anymore in 2024.  Most ppl like me have switched to mini-PCs that use mobile SoCs that generate less heat, hence produces quieter fan sounds!

Dream land is not here yet. After a few years of mini PC only, I also needed to build a large desktop again to have enough cooling and low noise for a dGPU because AI (for other people other softwares, such as 3D games at high settings) would not be meaningful on the mini PC.
