A few months after unveiling the 3A6000 CPU, Loongson is now enjoying new reviews that seemingly vouch for the processor's prowess and performance levels. Chinese site MyDrivers...
Documentation on loongson processors is still pretty sparse. So far they’ve only published a volume 1 which covers the basics. All the interesting stuff is still to be documented but for some reason they archived the repository a few months ago: https://github.com/loongson/LoongArch-Documentation/
I’m curious how a loongson SIMD optimized program would compare to the x86 equivalent.
Xiaomi announced their HyperOS, and info is sparse on the anglo-web. I searched in Chinese forums and eventually found (randomly, happy I did though) dedicated forums and saw folks were getting randomly chosen to upgrade if they had a newer Xiaomi device. My fingers are crossed, hopefully I’ll get it early.
What I am trying to say it I would imagine there is documentation and it simply isn’t accessible, the nerds or interest groups of course know where to look. By accessible I don’t mean blocked, rather it’s not openly advertised as perhaps the amount of interest isn’t there yet or isn’t known to be there.
I get the impression they’re still doing a lot of tweaking on it, so maybe they’ll publish a spec once it’s finalized a bit more.
Definitely would be interesting to see how optimized stuff runs on it. I really hope they integrate the whole SOC idea where there is shared memory between the CPU and the GPU too cause that removes the whole bus bottleneck.
