Chinese chipmaker Loongson has begun development work on its 3D7000 server processor family, targeting a release window while incorporating chiplets containing over 32 cores. The advancement represents a substantial increase from the company's current 3C60000 processors, which utilize 16-core chiplets and scale to 64 cores through quad-chiplet configurations.
The manufacturer plans to employ sub-10nm fabrication technology alongside support for DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 connectivity. Engineers have commenced intellectual property design for the advanced process node, developing components including phase-locked loops and multi-port register files. Loongson expects market deployment to follow shortly after introduction.
The company also confirmed its 9A1000 discrete graphics processor for artificial intelligence applications will arrive within 12 months after the recent tape-out submission. Both products address growing demand within China's domestic technology sector as the nation reduces dependence on foreign semiconductor suppliers.
