Loongson’s Bold Step: 128 Cores and Beyond

Chinese company Loongson has revealed its plans for the foreseeable future, including the much-anticipated 3D7000 processors. Notably, each chiplet of these processors will contain 32 cores.

The current lineup relies on 16-core chiplets.

Such doubling in chiplet cores will be facilitated by a new manufacturing process. Currently, the company is likely employing a 12-nanometer process, and the new processors will use a sub-10 nm process. Possibly, it could be a 7 nm process from SMIC. These processors will target the server segment.

Loongson’s processors will be geared towards the server market.

This illustrates Loongson’s attempt to diversify its offerings in IT infrastructure, especially as Microsoft and Google increase their demand for such components.
