Chinese chip designer Loongson has successfully launched over 100 products powered by its homegrown LoongArch architecture, including Inspur's OpenStack-based cloud stack. This architecture, blending elements of MIPS and RISC-V, aims to reduce Chinaâs dependence on foreign semiconductor technology. Despite trailing behind industry leaders like Intel and AMD, Loongsonâs performance is improving. Beijing's push for local chip adoption, exemplified by verified secure processor lists, positions Loongson favorably. The integration of Inspur's InCloud OS on LoongArch could enhance its appeal in the hyperscale market, especially with upcoming advanced processors on the horizon.
Loongson's LoongArch architecture now supports over 100 products, including Inspurâs OpenStack-based cloud stack, highlighting China's efforts to reduce reliance on foreign chip technology.
Despite being behind in performance compared to x86 and Arm processors, Loongson is closing the gap as it continues to expand its product compatibility.
Beijing's encouragement for companies to use local chips reflects a broader strategy to ensure domestic tech security, with Loongson's processors included in verified secure lists.
With Inspurâs Cloud Operating System on LoongArch, Loongson positions itself as a contender in the hyperscale market, particularly with its upcoming 64-core processor.
