    Hello,



    China's new Loongson CPU is almost as fast as the first Ryzen

    "It’s difficult to compare the 3A5000 to US-designed processors on paper because of their architectural differences. Still, Loongson has said that the 3A5000 scores over 80 points in the SPEC CPU2006 test, which places it in the same performance
    category as early Ryzen CPUs and Intel’s 6th-gen Core CPUs.

    If that’s not enough performance to impress you, wait for the 3C5000, a 16-core version of the 3A5000 due later this year. China’s semiconductor industry is approaching self-sufficiency very quickly, even if they’re still a ways off."
