Recently, an investor asked Loongson Technology on an interactive platform whether the 9A1000 has successfully completed tape-out.
Today, Loongson Technology stated that the development of the first GPGPU chip 9A1000 is basically complete, and it will deliver tape-out within the third quarter, with success depending on the test results after the tape-out returns.

It is understood that the Loongson 9A1000 is positioned as an entry-level, with performance expected to reach the level of AMD’s RX 550 released in 2017.
The Loongson 9A1000 supports PCIe 4.0 system bus, paired with 128-bit LPDDR4X video memory.
It supports graphics and compute standard APIs such as OpenGL 4.0 and OpenCL 3.0, and integrates a video processing module, capable of hardware decoding H.264 and H.265, and can output HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and VGA.
In terms of performance, it has a pixel fill rate of 16 GP/s (1.6 billion pixels per second), a texture fill rate of 32 GT/s (3.2 billion textures per second), and computing power of FP32 1 TFlops (1 trillion operations per second), FP64 64 GFlops (64 billion operations per second), and INT8 32 TFlops (32 trillion operations per second).
