On September 13th, Loongson Technology shared in its September 10th Investor Relations Record that the Loongson 3C6000 has won strong customer recognition for its excellent cost-performance, while the parallel-developed Loongson 2K3000 is progressing smoothly in market entry. Both chips have been well-received by integrated machine enterprises, completed typical application scenario verification this year, and are expected to start mass supply next year—providing a significant boost to the domestic chip market.
Launched in June 2024, the Loongson 3C6000 is a milestone independently developed Chinese CPU, available in three models (LS3C6000/S, /D, /Q) based on Loongson’s proprietary instruction architecture. A single chip has 16 cores/32 threads; via its self-developed Loongson Link and multi-chip packaging, it can scale up to 32 cores (3C6000/D) or 60/64 cores (3C6000/Q). Third-party tests show 3C6000/S and /D match Intel’s 2021 Xeon Silver 4314 (16-core) and Gold 6338 (32-core) respectively, while the 64-core 3C6000/Q outperforms Intel’s 40-core Xeon Platinum 8380.
The co-released Loongson 2K3000 integrates 8 LA364E cores, hitting a 30-point SPEC CPU 2006 Base single-core fixed-point score at 2.5GHz. It also includes the second-gen self-developed GPGPU (LG200), doubling graphics performance vs. the previous 2K2000’s LG100. Supporting general computing and AI acceleration, LG200 delivers 256GFLOPS (single-precision floating-point) and 8TOPS (8-bit fixed-point) peak performance.
ICgoodFind： we see next year’s planned mass supply of Loongson 3C6000 and 2K3000 as a driver to enrich China’s domestic chip lineup and accelerate localization in key application areas.
