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.
 
That is impressive manufacturing in such a short time.

    Of course it will, they'll steal it.

    They have a lot of access to take the product they want and “reengineer” them, so it will be interesting to see what they can come up with, without getting driven into the ground by the two major players.
