In today’s digital age, chips are the core of modern technology, and their importance is self-evident.
Recently, Loongson Technology announced exciting news that its self-developed Loongson 2K3000 and Loongson 3B6000M processors have successfully completed tape-out, with all indicators meeting expectations. This achievement not only reflects Loongson Technology’s technical strength but also marks an important step for our country in the field of self-developed chips.
The successful tape-out of the Loongson 2K3000 and Loongson 3B6000M processors signifies a major breakthrough in Loongson Technology’s development of self-architecture chips.
These two processors are based on the same silicon wafer but are optimized for different application scenarios. The Loongson 2K3000 targets the industrial control application field, while the Loongson 3B6000M focuses on mobile terminal applications. This differentiated design strategy allows both processors to better meet the specific needs of their respective fields, providing strong support for the digital transformation of various industries.
The Loongson 2K3000/3B6000M processors perform excellently in terms of performance. They integrate 8 LA364E cores based on the self-developed Loongson architecture, achieving a single-core fixed-point score of 30 at a frequency of 2.5GHz, placing it at the forefront among similar processors.
This means that the processor can provide efficient and stable performance support when handling complex computational tasks, whether in data processing for industrial control systems or various applications on mobile terminals.
Even more impressive is its integrated second-generation self-developed GPGPU core “LG200”. Compared to the previous generation LG100, the LG200 has achieved a significant improvement in graphics performance, with a single-precision floating-point peak performance of 256GFLOPS and an 8-bit fixed-point peak performance of 8TOPS.
This performance enhancement not only provides users with a smoother graphics processing experience but also supports general computing acceleration and AI acceleration, providing strong hardware support for the widespread implementation of artificial intelligence applications. For example, in the field of intelligent security, leveraging the AI acceleration capabilities of the LG200 can enable faster and more accurate image recognition and analysis, enhancing the intelligence level of security systems.
In addition to its powerful core performance, the Loongson 2K3000/3B6000M also excels in functional integration. It integrates an independent hardware codec module, supporting various mainstream video formats, as well as three display interface outputs: eDP/DP/HDMI, achieving 4K high-definition processing performance at 60 frames.
This means that the processor can meet the demands of high-definition video processing and multi-screen display, providing good support for multimedia applications. In terms of security, the processor integrates a secure and trusted module, including national secret SM2/3/4 hardware algorithm modules and a reconfigurable cryptographic module, which provides solid guarantees for secure data storage and transmission, especially in industrial control and information technology fields where information security requirements are extremely high.
Moreover, the processor also integrates a rich set of IO expansion interfaces, such as PCIe 3.0, USB 3.0/2.0, SATA 3.0, GMAC, eMMC, SDIO, SPI, LPC, RapidIO, CAN-FD, etc. The integration of these interfaces allows the Loongson 2K3000/3B6000M to efficiently connect and communicate with various external devices, greatly expanding its application scenarios and range, whether in industrial automation equipment, intelligent terminals, or information office devices.
The successful tape-out of the Loongson 2K3000/3B6000M is an important milestone in the field of self-developed chips in our country. It not only showcases Loongson Technology’s strong capabilities in technological innovation and product development but also injects a strong boost into the self-controllable development of our country’s chip industry.
In the future wave of digitalization, the Loongson 2K3000/3B6000M will surely shine in various fields, providing strong support for our country’s technological development and industrial upgrading.
