I still remember that several researchers from Chinese Academic of Sciences (中科院) had told me about their own processor while I was attending the ICIAS 2007. Today, I have found out that this processor is named as Loongson (龙芯), and here is the link to the web-site. I am impressed with their progress compared to our Mimos Pesona processor. The chief architect, Wei-Wu Hu, had said that there are three questions need to be answered for Loongson:
1. Should China design a common used CPU?
2. Does China has the ability to design the CPU?
3. Are we able to sell the CPU?
So, did we ever answer the above questions? Prof Hu claimed that they have answered the first two questions and now it's time for answering the third question. You will surprise to find out the following products running the Linux OS (debian). So, what about us?
