On September 15, it was reported that an investor asked Loongson Technology on an interactive platform whether the 9A1000 had successfully taped out.
Today, Loongson Technology stated that the development of its first GPGPU chip, the 9A1000, is basically complete, and it will be delivered for tape-out within the third quarter, with success pending the results of post-tape-out testing.
It is understood that the Loongson 9A1000 is positioned as an entry-level product, with performance expected to reach the level of AMD’s RX 550 released in 2017.
The Loongson 9A1000 supports PCIe 4.0 system bus and is equipped with 128-bit LPDDR4X video memory.
It supports graphics and compute standard APIs such as OpenGL 4.0 and OpenCL 3.0, integrates a video processing module, and can hardware decode H.264 and H.265, with output options for HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and VGA.
In terms of performance, it has a pixel fill rate of 16 GP/s (16 billion pixels per second), a texture fill rate of 32 GT/s (32 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).
Earlier this month, Loongson Technology also released a record of investor relations activities, stating that the 2K3000 released on June 26 has integrated the Loongson GPU IP core LG200, which has certain inference capabilities and has already been adopted by several customers; the upcoming tape-out of the 9A1000 is the first GPGPU chip, low-cost, targeting the RX 550 in graphics performance, with tens of TFlops of computing power; future plans include the 9A2000 and 9A3000.
The 3C6000 and 2K3000 chips released in the first half of the year are expected to have numerous typical application scenario validations this year, with mass production anticipated next year.
