- yanhangyhycomes a long way.. they have some pc models sell in china but i guess only IT dev people would give it a try. china is pushing the state-owned companies and civil servant to use linux (some linux distro build by china company and replace windows and all America product) and the china-build CPU, but LooongArch also seems is not the #1 choice. I hope they can chooose LoongArch and built some debian based OS to use. This would be a 100 millon user market..Also seems russia is interested to do some stuff based on LoongArchjust found one on JD: 14inch, LoongArch 3A6000, 16G mem, 512G storage, 4G GPU storage, sold for 6499RMB around 920USD
- EricRiese> The development of the first Loongson chip was started in 2001. The aim of the Godson project was to develop "high performance general-purpose microprocessors in China", and to become technologically self-sufficient as part of the Made in China 2025 plan.-WikipediaRight on time
- drumheadAre Loongson powered machines available in the west? Are they only available from Chinese manufacturers?
- kqr2Didn't Richard Stallman use a Lemote Loongson computer before?https://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html
- yegleThat's a long way and congrats to the Longson team!My college friend participated in the Google Summer of Code 2009, migrating openSUSE to MIPS. The CPU they used was an earlier version of Longson (forgot which one).

- wkat4242Hasn't RISC-V kinda taken its place by now?
- renewiltordWow man. Back in the day the Godson processors were supposed to be these MIPS chips from China that ran Linux. I wanted one just for the sheer curiosity of it all but couldn’t get one here in the US.I wonder if there is a way to get them from Taiwan / Korea. I can’t go to mainland China.
- budududuroiuI want one of these chips
