But it has a very low frequency
While China is not doing very well with its own video cards, processors are developing much more actively. To the point that, in certain parameters, they have already caught up with modern Intel and AMD CPUs. In particular, new tests of the Loongson 3A6000 processor show that its architecture is quite comparable to Zen 4 and Raptor Lake.
Of course, it’s not that simple. Firstly, we are talking about a quad-core CPU, and secondly, it has a very low frequency of 2.5 GHz. Thirdly, we are primarily talking about synthetic tests that show the potential of the architecture, while in real tasks everything can be very different.
In any case, in the SPEC 2007 test, this same Loongson 3A6000 is close to the Ryzen 9 7950X and Core i9-14900K or comparable to them, but if the latter operate at the same frequency 2, 5 GHz. It is also worth noting that this test does not take into account the number of cores. This suggests that the performance per gigahertz of the Chinese CPU is approximately the same as that of AMD and Intel solutions.
