Godson is a huge IP in the hearts of the Chinese people. Our generation’s expectations for Godson are as good as our father’s generation expecting the first bomb. As the “spokesman†of domestic chips, Godson has taken on too much expectation. Only the road made by domestic chips is obviously more dangerous and long than imagined. In April 2017, Godson brought good news: The introduction of a new generation represents the highest level of chips in China. Among them, the most dazzling is the Loongson 3A3000 and 3B3000. From the measured data, the overall performance of this chip has exceeded the Intel Atom series and ARM series CPU. This performance, in the words of Ni Guangnan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, has reached a level that is usable. There are no problems with daily use, office work, or business trips. [The strongest Godson 3A3000 processor in history] Many children's shoes are curious, how much is Godson's chip? Loongson Chief Designer Hu Weiwu gave a detailed introduction to these chips. Which chips are Godson doing? Lei Fengwang tells you that there is a trick to identify Loongson's chips: The chip that starts with "1" is a "small CPU" and is a dedicated or embedded chip customized according to demand. The chip that starts with "2" is the "middle CPU". The target is Intel's Atom (Astro Boy) series, which is suitable for low-power general-purpose portable computing such as tablet computers and office computers. The chip that begins with "3" is the "large CPU". The target is the Intel Core/Xeon series, which is used for desktop computers or high-performance computing. It can be seen that there is only one goal of Godson, which is the world's first chip empire Intel. So, how far is Godson's chip level from Intel? Do not worry, first look at Godson's plan to catch up with Intel. ["Father of Godson" Godson Zhongke President Hu Weiwu] "Father of Godson" Hu Weiwu said that Godson's current chip plan is divided into three generations: First Generation: "On the Floor" CPU 2013-2014 Introduction: In simple terms, this stage is an effort to drum up a CPU. However, for the Loongson team, this does not start from scratch. Before calculating all the very powerful research results, you can create a CPU that meets specific requirements, but the general processing power is low. Most of these chips meet the specific needs of the country and the market is not very recognized. This stage has been completed. The chips represented are: 3A1000, 3B1500, 2F, 2H. Second Generation: "Over the Air" CPU Realization time: 2016-2017 At this stage, the main task is to "seriously" make a CPU that can be sold. In fact, the highest recognition of a CPU is that someone pays. This batch of Godson CPU (single core) performance is 3-5 times that of the first generation of products, exceeding Atom, VIA and ARM. The performance of these chips is not at the top, but it can be used in a wide range of fields. Objectively speaking, a desktop chip has reached the level of ARM and Atom, and it can be sold very well. This phase has also been implemented today. Representative chips: 3A3000, 3B3000, 2K1000, 7A Third Generation: "Ceiling" CPU 2019-2020 This stage of the CPU to catch up with AMD's full range of levels. If it can be achieved, the gap between Intel's top Xeon chips is not great. At this time, the performance of the single-core chip will meet the physical ceiling, just like the current Intel. At this time, you need to increase the number of cores to improve overall computing performance. (Intel has touched the ceiling in 2010-2012) At this time, Godson can try to compete with Intel and AMD in the market. Representative chip: 3A3000/4000, 3C5000, 2K2000, 7B Judging from the past development path, the cows blown out by Hu Weiwu were all achieved. In the future, Godson will build a "ceiling" CPU. Before looking at the starry sky, first come down to earth and see how this latest generation of Godson-3A3000 is. What kind of chip Loongson chip top: 3A3000 3A3000 is the "CPU in midair" in Hu Weiwu's mouth. Saying that he is in the air, it mainly refers to the level of technology - it has not reached the top, but it is already very strong. For this chip, Lei Feng network (public number: Lei Feng network) think there are several keywords: 1, currently the strongest domestic Because the current CPU is a multi-core structure. So comparing the absolute performance of the chip, there is a simple and rough approach, that is, a single core pull out "single". Hu Weiwu introduced that the 3A3000 chip has the highest single-core performance among all domestic chips. 2, more than Atom and ARM In terms of specific performance, the 3A3000 is 3-5 times the performance of the previous generation of Loongson chips. From the figure below, compared with the mainstream mid-range chips of VIA and AMD, the data is almost equivalent, some indicators have great advantages, and some indicators are comparable. Ordinary people may not understand such professional indicators. As long as you know, this performance is better than that of Intel Atom or top-end mobile phones, equivalent to the performance of Intel and AMD high-end processors. 3, there is still a gap of 30% from Intel's strongest technology Although the performance is equivalent to Intel's high-end processors, but not to the top level of these processor manufacturers. In fact, as a company that has been established for less than a decade, it is difficult for it to be able to tie in with the top international companies because of the poor and straightforward starting point. Visually measuring this CPU and the top CPU still has a performance gap of around 30%. This is probably a gap of one generation of technology. To catch up with the gap in this generation, it will take about 3 years for visual observation. 4, pure independent research and development Academician Ni Guangnan once said that the core technology cannot be bought, and the purchased technology must not be the core technology. Independent research and development has always been the label of Godson. Hu Weiwu introduced, in addition to the basic unit provided by the manufacturer, Godson 3A3000, including all the modules including CPU and memory controller are designed independently, did not introduce third-party IP. The advantage of this kind of independent research and development is simply that in the event of a serious confrontation between China and the United States, the United States will easily attack Intel Inside's equipment, but it will be difficult to attack the "Loongson Unside" equipment and systems. Popular chip: 2K1000 In addition to the strongest "3" series, Godson also introduced new products in the "2" and "1" series. The "2" series was originally targeted at the Atom series of chips. From the 2K1000 in 2017, the performance was 3-5 times higher than that of the previous generation of 2H, but there was still a gap of about 20% from the 2014 AtomJ1900 chip processing capability. However, such processor performance can already be used on terminals and IPCs. In fact, although this chip is not the strongest chip of Godson, it is the most common CPU that can make customers pay for it. Special chips: 1H "1" series does not spell the ability to work, fight is the ability to work under extreme conditions of stability. For example, the "1" series of predecessors "1E" and "1F" are now reproduced on the Beidou satellite. "Godson has operated steadily for two years on the BeiDou satellite. There is no mistake in reversing the lockdown." Hu said proudly. As for "1H", it is an artifact. It will be used on oil-drilling probes that are several kilometers underground, with an operating temperature of around 200 degrees. For this stable operation under ultra-high temperature conditions, it has always been the core technology of the chip industry. China has always wanted to master high-temperature chip technology, but the United States has imposed a strict technical blockade on us. Hu Weiwu still remembers that when a drill with this chip was put into a well test, an old expert in the oil industry poured a glass of wine and said to him: I haven't had a drink for more than ten years. Today, I want to honor you. No one can make this kind of chip for so many years. You are the hero of our oil industry! Domestically produced chips have nothing and they can now go to heaven. The arduous efforts of Chinese scientists are moving. [London 1H oil drill bit] Compared to performance, Godson has to catch up with Intel in terms of ecology. But technically catching up with Intel and letting everyone use Godson are two completely different things. Between technology and the market, people who think technology is more difficult often live longer, and those who think the market is more difficult can live well. Hu Weiwu is sober. In our understanding, domestic technology often "ignores" to ignore the market and favors the "party, government, and military". At the beginning stage, Godson also tightly embraced the “party, government, and military†thighs. However, as of today, Godson has realized that the market for “party and government forces†is too small. To become a great company against Intel, we must attack the enterprise’s end market and develop the personal market. [Godson One Machine and "People's Name"] Everyone knows the value of ecology. Why don't you buy Loongson Computer? Because I cannot install Windows Why install Windows? Because I am accustomed to the software and games are on Windows! The ecology of Intel+Windows is daunting. However, Godson must strive to “fuse†his own ecology under the eyes of giants. Hu Weiwu thinks that although this matter is difficult, it is not so impossible. Of course, in terms of personal computers, Intel dominates the world, but this world is not just a big market for personal computers. Godson's style of play is: Focus on the weaknesses of the Wintel ecosystem - terminal and industrial control areas. Terminal and Industrial Control are the domain of Godson Terminal refers to the terminal used by the industries of party and government, energy, finance, telecommunications, etc. Industrial control refers to smart devices that control production equipment in the industrial field. Based on this direction, the secret of Hu Weiwu is: Seize the API. There are 6 million engineers who use Java in the whole country, but they cannot find 10 people who know Java engine or JavaScript virtual machine. Hu Weiwu sighed. In other words, the status quo in China is that most engineers will only do development at the upper level, and the intermediate interface that connects developers and CPUs is called: API. Few people will do APIs. What Dragon God does is to develop a useful API for all potential users of Godson on the market, so that developers can develop applications easily. In simple terms, Godson manufactures various forms of LEGO modules. Program developers only need to insert Lego blocks according to their own needs. In this case, development based on Godson will become as easy as games, and people will enjoy more. According to official data, there are already 10,000 Loongson-based hardware and software developers among the downstream customers. [Huasan Research and Development of Loongson 3A3000 Based Switch] Open source community is also the domain of Godson This matter is also reflected in Godson's community and developer team. If you register at the Godson developer forum, you can purchase Godson's chips or computers at a very low price. Based on these hardware and Linux kernel systems, you can develop everything you like. For those who have continued to contribute to Loongson Ecology, they can also receive “work points.†In the future, these points can be used in exchange for dividends and equity incentives. In fact, there are many fan clubs based on Loongson chips in various universities. Godson also decided to open some of the low-end processor core source code to colleges and universities, so that students can fully understand the internal code structure of the CPU and become the reserve force for the Chinese chip. Developers are very picky, but in front of them, our 3A2000 and 3A3000 are no shame, really. Hu Weiwu with emotion. "Tank cars based on Godson and open source systems" Although it is still too early to say that Loongson has established a strong ecology, it may be a good idea to look at Intel. Academician Ni Guangnan of the Chinese Academy of Engineering said: In 1995, Windows 3.2 exited the market. Up to now, the ecological construction of Wintel has passed 30 years. Compared with Intel's early development, Godson's pace has been fast. Looking up at Intel, the dragon core path is long and long. However, the downstream software and hardware R & D personnel based on Godson CPU has reached tens of thousands. It hasn't been easy for Godson to have the ecology of the past few years. It should be noted that since the beginning of three years ago, the government has given up its support for Godson, and Godson’s latest chips are all developed by Loongson’s Zhongke Company by selling a single chip. From this point of view, compared to the chip team that is spending billions of dollars in research funding, Godson can pat his heart and mind. As Hu Weiwu said: There is a victory from suffering. Godson used his own story to prove that the world is fairly fair.
