During its 2024 half-year performance release, Loongson Zhongke Technology announced plans to tape out its highly anticipated 3B6600 eight-core CPU in the first half of 2025, with mass production expected by the latter half of the year. Loongson's chairman, Hu Weiwu, stated that the 3B6600 will deliver "world-leading" single-core performance, a significant claim in the evolving CPU landscape.
The 3B6600 is based on a 7nm process and is designed for high-performance computing in servers and PCs. According to reports, the chip aims to compete with mid-to-high-end CPUs, including those from Intel's 12th and 13th generations. The 3B6600 will combine eight cores to deliver robust multi-core performance, making it suitable for demanding workloads in data centers and advanced computing applications.
Loongson is committed to releasing at least one server or PC chip annually, with the 3B6600 set to play a pivotal role in the company’s roadmap. This consistent product release cycle is a key aspect of Loongson's strategy to establish itself as a competitive player in the global semiconductor industry, particularly as demand for high-performance AI chips grows.
