On April 3rd, according to the official WeChat account of "Loongxin Zhongke," the government of Hebi City, in collaboration with the Municipal Education Bureau and other departments, introduced nearly ten thousand Loongson 3A5000 computers into nearly 50 primary and secondary schools in Hebi City and Qibin District.
These computers all utilize the Loongson 3A5000 processor based on indigenous Loong architecture, equipped with the domestic UOS operating system. They come pre-installed with a full set of genuine licensed software, including WPS Office software, Jingyuan teaching (operation and maintenance) management software, and have integrated a total of 104 applications ranging from classroom management to teaching, programming, and national/provincial-level management platforms.
Currently, this batch of computers has been regularly used in the teaching process of pilot schools.
It's reported that the Longxin 3A5000 processor is the first processor chip to adopt the self-developed instruction set architecture LoongArch. From top-level architecture to instruction functions and ABI standards, it's completely independent without any foreign authorization, and it's compatible with mainstream instruction set architectures such as MIPS, X86, and ARM.
The Longxin 3A5000 has a clock speed ranging from 2.3GHz to 2.5GHz and features four cores. Each processor core adopts the 64-bit LA464 self-developed microarchitecture, supporting DDR4-3200MHz memory and Hyper Transport 3.0 controller.
It's worth mentioning that last year, Loongson released a new generation CPU, the Loongson 3A6000, which still adopts the LoongISA architecture, a domestically developed and controllable general-purpose processor in China. However, its performance has seen a significant increase.
The processor has a clock speed of up to 2.5GHz and integrates four newly developed high-performance LA664 processor cores, supporting simultaneous multithreading technology (SMT2). The chip has a total of 8 logical cores, and in terms of performance, it is roughly on par with the Intel i3 10100.
