Loongson Claims its CPU IPC Will Match AMD Zen 3 and Intel Willow Cove by 2023
Chinese PC and server processor designer Loongson claims that its upcoming processor microarchitecture will offer an IPC that matches that of the AMD "Zen 3" (or slightly faster than Intel "Willow Cove."). The Godson 3A6000 processors are based on the LA664 microarchitecture, which Loongson has compared with off-the-shelf AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and Intel Core i7-1165G7 processors, on several cross-platform benchmarks, and claimed to have obtained comparable single-threaded performance.
The LA664 microarchitecture is based on Loongson's in-house ISA, and unlike Zhaoxin processors, aren't x86-64 compatible. Loongson processors are generally bought in bulk by the Chinese government and military, to run servers and workstations that are completely devoid of foreign hardware, for security reasons. The custom machine architecture is paired with a compatible *nix operating system that's equally built from the ground-up. 2023 will see Loongson launch 3A6000 processor as a multi-chip module with 32 CPU cores.

Btw your reply seems like a trolling attempt. It's far away from topic.
CIA/FBI/UK/Five Eyes spying - good
CCP/Russia/NK/Iran spying - bad
It's all the same shit and frankly I don't give a shit. I can't believe I wasted my time responding but sometimes it's funny exposing hypocrites
For all I care they claim they can do 15x Zen 4 performances at 2 watts.....
Unless you mean "useful consumer cpus." Then maybe.
As for them using "Local hardware" (Devoid of foreign hardware) that is also from a Chinese perspective.
Makes sense for them to use hardware that's local to them for same reasons we would be wary of them and what they make to that end in their favor.
As for performance, it may be decent to OK but I seriously doubt it will be close to what AMD and Intel has out.
They can claim it, post charts and other things but until it's in your own hands for you to test and see for yourself I'd take those claims with several grains of salt.
