More bs. How can a chip be leading if it won't be available till next year and only be 7nm?

Ditto. Just keep the sanction lid on.

Maybe they'll take a page out of Apple and claim it's the fastest Loongson chip, ever?

Nice, lots of people are working with machines that are quite a bit behind intel gen 10

Some big leaps in the china desktop cpu world. Basically barely usable to fully usable, even some 2010-2015 era gaming under wine and binary translation. I have even seen genshin impact running on it.
2021 - late core2duo performance using a european fab
2024 - at 10th gen i3 or about 6th gen i7 using 12 nm smic fab

World leading might be pushing it but to say "we have a modern indigneous desktop/server cpu" could be valid with the next iteration.

12GHz for the mobile CPU? Is that right?
And people commenting about "chip leading performance" being BS. You have to take into consideration their use vs ours. Do their chips have all the X86, x64, SSE, etc. instruction sets? Do their chips even need them for their own version of OS? While theirs might be slower than what we have here when we benchmark it on our systems, it might be much faster on their own. Sort of like an Indy car racing on a rally track, or vice versa.
Not to mention, the leaps and bounds they have been accomplishing in their technology the past 10 years or so. And this is with all the sanctions on them being able to buy many of the lithography tools. They've been doing it all on their own. It won't be long before they surpass us. It's already rumoured that they have the worlds fastest supercomputer for a while now, they just aren't telling anyone because they don't care about bragging rights, and probably don't want the rest of the world to know.

bug fix:

Loongson 3B6600 is not 7nm cpu, it will still use 14/12nm as 3A6000

AMD was well behind Intel for many years and they caught up ... I think China will catch up in few years ... and when they do so , they will sell their CPU half the price around the world ...

PS4 has an old AMD Jaguar x86-64 8 core and still rocks good games, for office and light gaming they don't need a cutting edge performance breaker CPU, just good a enough/ cheap enough.

Loongsoon is mips, the thing risc v is based on now.

Once they can mass reproduce efficiently and have a stable ecosystem, they can capture 1/2 the world's revenue just simply by pointing out that countries should hedge their cpu/os between the west and china. Pointing to countries like Russia as an example.

I don't know what you mean by "mips". The picture shows GHz

also LatAm and Africa, every penny they can save in millions of chips are a welcomed option.

MIPS, is an architecture like ARM/X86/risc V
Well known examples of systems that used MIPS chips were the nintendo 64 and the first playstation.
A lot of companies and OSS developers put time in to creating software that runs on mips over the decades and this Chinese company had the bright idea to start making desktop computers and servers that work on these chips

Loongson technology added some extensions to MIPS64 and now calls it Loongson arch
