Loongson launches CPUS of up to 64 nuclei and plant face the Intel Xeon Silver 4314
Gone are the 32 cores of Loongson. Chinese technology has officially presented its new generation of servers processors, the series 3C6000specifically designed for the local market. The most striking novelty is that they have even 64 nuclei in its most advanced configuration and performance that, according to their own data, exceeds Intel Xeon Silver 4314 In key performance tests. As we have already been informing, Loongson’s comparisons with Intel are not strange.
These new chips are based on the Fourth generation of Loongson architecturewith nuclei LA664and are offered in three scalable variants through Chiplets. On the one hand, the model 3C6000/s Integra A 16 core chipplet. Also the 3C6000/D.what adds Two chiplets for 32 nuclei. And the range of the range, the 3C6000/Q.it reaches 64 nuclei through four chiplets connected to the owner interconnection Dragochain.
The base frequency of these processors ranges from 2.0 and 2.2 GHzand each nucleus has 64 kb of L1 cache (instructions + data) and 256 kb of l2 cache. All nuclei share a 32 MB L3 cache. As for connectivity and memory, the models of 32 and 64 cores have a 8 channel DDR4-3200 controller and 128 PCIE GEN4 lanes. Consumption (TDP) varies between 100-120 w In the 16 -core model and even 300 w In the most powerful configuration.
The interesting thing is that the announcement did not stay alone in specifications. Loongson also shared performance tests that compare the model 3C6000/S of 16 cores with the Intel Xeon Silver 4314also 16 cores. In the benchmark SPEC CPU 2017 (GCC15)Loongson surpasses Intel in entire performance and only remains slightly behind in floating point tests. In higher models, the difference is further reduced, and the 64 -core model even Compete from you with the Xeon Platinum 8380.
In addition to its servers line, Loongson also presented the processors 2k3000 and 3b6000mdesigned for industrial uses and mobile devices. These chips up to 8 nuclei at 2.5 GHz include a LG200 Integrated Graphic Processor With FP32 computing capacity of 256 Gflops.
