Chinese chipmaker Loongson's next-generation 3A6000-series CPUs will feature simultaneous multithreading support, the latest Linux 6.5 patches that the company submitted (via Phoronix). The addition of SMT will double the number of threads these chips will process simultaneously.
Loongson's SMT implementation in its next-generation 3A6000-series processors is similar to AMD's and Intel's and enables one physical CPU core to process two threads at the same time. Therefore, the company's quad-core 3A6000 processor for client PCs will be able to process eight threads simultaneously. Meanwhile, Loongson's datacenter grade 32-core 3D6000 CPU will be able to process 64 threads at once.
