The family of the produced in China RISC- processors godson/loongson, which is the clones of developments from company MIPS technologies, is developed at tempo typical for China. Recently the GODSON- II promised to compete with working at frequency 500 MHz processor Pentium III, and for developers was posed a new problem of competing with working at frequency 1.5 GHz processor Pentium 4.
Recently we reported about the beginning of computers production on the base of processors loongson 2E, which work at frequency from 800 MHz to 1 GHz; however, Chinese developers already prepare for announcement the processor of following generation - Loongson 2F (the same Godson 2F).
The processors generation loongson 2E operate at frequency 1 GHz, they contain 47 mln. transistors, consuming in this case in all 5 W. However, the most important characteristic for the Chinese market is the low price of this processor. Then it becomes known that in the third quarter of 2007 will appear the models of processors generations loongson 2F, which will be at least to 20-30% more powerful than Loongson 2E. The performance Level of new processors will be compared with the speed of processor Pentium 4, which works at the frequency of 1.5 GHz. ...
