On March 12th, Loongson Science & Technology responded to user inquiries on the investor interaction platform, stating that the second-generation GPU core, LG200, will be utilized in the 2K3000 project, with tape-out scheduled for the first half of this year.
The LG200 supports graphics acceleration, scientific computation acceleration, and AI acceleration. It features OpenGL 4.0 for graphics rendering, OpenCL 3.0 for general computing, and INT8 tensor computing acceleration components for AI acceleration.
Based on this foundation, we will proceed to develop dedicated GPGPU chips leveraging the 2K3000 GPGPU technology and the 3C6000 Dragon Chain technology.
Currently, the LG200 has completed structural design and preliminary physical design evaluations. The accompanying prototype driver software is also ready, and comprehensive validation is underway.
It's worth noting that last year, Loongson released the domestically developed CPU Loongson 3A6000, featuring the self-designed instruction set architecture LoongISA. It's a new generation general-purpose processor developed and controlled independently in China.
In terms of performance, this processor boasts a clock speed of 2.5GHz, integrating four high-performance LA664 processors developed in-house. It supports simultaneous multithreading technology (SMT2), providing a total of 8 logical cores on the chip. Performance-wise, it's roughly on par with the Intel i3 10100.
