Introduction
In today’s increasingly fierce global technology competition, Chinese chips have once again made headlines! Loongson Technology officially announced that the 2K3000/3B6000M chips for industrial control and mobile terminals, as well as the new generation server processor 3C6000 series, have successively achieved technical breakthroughs, marking a key step in China’s journey towards an independent and controllable information technology system. With performance on par with international mainstream products, 100% self-developed architecture, and full-chain localization—what secrets lie behind this set of hard data for Chinese chips?
1. Dual-Core Launch: A Performance Revolution in Industrial Control and Mobile Terminal Fields
1. 2K3000/3B6000M: A “Transformers” with Dual Forms
Loongson has innovatively adopted “wafer reuse” design, creating two chips, 2K3000 for industrial control scenarios and 3B6000M for mobile terminals, based on the same wafer. This “one chip, multiple packages” model not only significantly reduces R&D costs but also achieves cross-domain technology synergy:
8-core LA364E architecture, with a main frequency of 2.5GHz, achieving a single-core fixed-point score of over 30 in SPEC CPU 2006, doubling the performance compared to the previous generation.
The second-generation self-developed GPGPU core LG200, with graphics rendering performance significantly improved, achieving a single-precision floating-point peak of 256 GFLOPS and AI acceleration computing power reaching 8 TOPS.
Three-screen 4K@60Hz output + hardware-level video encoding and decoding, meeting the multi-scenario needs of industrial HMI and smart terminals.
2. Dual Upgrades in Security and Expansion
First to introduce a reconfigurable cryptographic module, supporting SM2/3/4 national cryptography algorithms and software programming for custom security policies.
Integrating over 20 interfaces including PCIe 3.0, USB 3.0, and SATA 3.0, creating a hardware ecosystem base for all scenarios.
Over 50 industrial control/information technology companies have initiated product integration, covering key areas such as smart manufacturing and rail transportation.
2. Server Field Breakthrough: 3C6000/D Achieves Historic Leap
1. Performance on Par with Intel Xeon
In the latest 2U dual-socket server, equipped with two 3C6000/D processors, achieving:
64 physical cores/128 logical cores with hyper-threading architecture.
General computing performance improved by 100% compared to 3C5000, reaching the level of Intel Xeon Silver 4314.
Core components are 100% domestically produced and have passed the national information security level II certification.
2. The Path of Long Architecture Breakthrough
As the second-generation Long architecture server chip, the 3C6000 series is completely self-designed from instruction set encoding to functional module definition:
Supports flexible configurations of 16-core/32-core/64-core, with versions targeting Xeon 4314/6338 to be released in the second quarter.
Accompanied by the 7A2000 discrete graphics bridge chip, forming a complete computing power landscape from cloud computing to edge computing.
3. Ecological Breakthrough: Building a “Triple Fortress” of Independent Technology System
1. Software Ecosystem
Established a Linux-based software system parallel to X86 and ARM.
The OpenCL computing framework has been validated, and the AI acceleration software ecosystem is rapidly improving.
2. Dedicated Computing Power Layout
Development of the 9A1000 dedicated GPGPU chip is progressing steadily.
GPU + AI acceleration dual engines break through the “bottleneck” of graphics and AI computing power.
3. Industry Collaboration
The product matrix formed by desktop 3A6000 + server 3C6000 + terminal 3B6000M.
Achieving large-scale applications in fields such as telecommunications, finance, and energy.
Conclusion: The Acceleration of Chinese Chips from Following to Leading
As the 2K3000 industrial control devices operate stably in smart factories, as the 3B6000M powered terminals enter thousands of households, and as the 3C6000 servers support the foundation of the digital economy—each successful tape-out of Loongson is rewriting the competitive landscape of the global chip industry. From instruction sets to manufacturing processes, from single-point breakthroughs to ecological prosperity, this battle for independent control is ushering in a golden era for Chinese chips.
