Homegrown Chinese CPUs are catching up to AMD and Intel — Loongson 3B6600 and 3B7000 allegedly match Intel 10th Gen CPU performance

Loongson.

Zhang Ge, the CEO of Loongson, revealed the company's next-generation octa-core 3B6600 and 3B7000 CPUs for the Chinese market. Both these CPUs are made for the mainstream market, emphasizing single-core performance rather than multi-core. 

Loongson admitted that while the 3B6600 and 3B7000 are behind the competition in multi-core performance, the company has significantly closed the gap in single-core performance. Loongson claims a 20X uplift compared to the company's previous processors. We've already seen the 3A6000 in action, exhibiting a similar IPC level close to AMD's Zen 4 and Intel's Raptor Lake.
