A MyDrivers news report suggests that Loongson's LS3C6000 server processor has reached the tape-out phase of development—the article's author appears to be quite excited about this chip's prospects; a performance uptick could position it closer to past generation Intel and AMD parts. The company's proprietary LA664 "LoongArch" instruction set will be deployed on a chip design that accommodates 16 cores with simultaneous multi-threading technology (SMT) and 32 threads. In-house engineers think that the 3C6000 processor series is just as performant as Zen 3 and Tiger Lake (11th-gen Core) architectures, in terms of instructions per clock (IPC).
