Lenovo adopts Chinese Loongson CPUs for cloud servers — 16-core Loongson 3C5000 chips necessary to rebuff US sanctions

Loongson Lenovo China
Inspur.

This week, Chinese CPU developer Loongson published 105 programs from 53 developers that natively support its 5000- and 6000-series processors based on the proprietary LoongArch architecture. As the list revealed, Lenovo has quietly deployed Loongson's processors in its datacenters and is running cloud services on them, reports The Register. The scale of the deployment is unclear, but the revelation highlights Lenovo's commitment to using Chinese CPUs.

For now, Lenovo offers three software packages that support Loongson's LoongArch-based platforms: Wentian WxSphere Server Virtualization System Software V8.0 (16-core 3C5000L/3C5000), Wentian WxCloud Cloud Computing Management Platform V3.0 (16-core 3C5000L/3C5000), and Wentian WxStack Hyper-converged System Software V8.0 (quad-core 3A6000). For Lenovo, this is enough to deploy Loongson's 5000-series CPUs commercially for its cloud services and prepare to deploy the next-generation Loongson's 6000-series processors.
