Chinese Loongson 3D5000 Features 32 Cores and is 4x Faster Than the Average Arm Chip

They're not stopping

"Scaling of the new chip goes beyond the chiplet, and pours over into system, as 3D5000 supports 2P and 4P configurations, where a single motherboard can become a system of up to 128 cores. To connect them, Loongson uses a 7A2000 bridge chip that is reportedly 400% faster than the previous solution, although we have no information about the last chip bridge. Based on the LGA-4129 package, the chip size is 75.4x58.5×6.5 mm. Regarding performance, Loongson compares it to the average Arm chip that goes into smartphones and claims that its designs are up to four times faster. In SPEC2006, performance reaches 425 points, while maintaining a single TeraFLOP at dual-precision 64-bit format. On the other hand, the processor was built for security, as the chip has a custom hardware-baked security to prevent Spectre and Meltdown, has an on-package Trusted Platform Module (TPM), and has a secret China-made security algorithm with an embedded custom security module that does encryption and decryption at 5 Gbps."

Time to steal the design and manufacture them for cheap?

It will perform no where near its claims.

How well does it play Crysis?

More seriously how well does this perform? Anyone have actual benchmarks with known tools?

Beating a Raspberry Pi class computer is not a huge win (though I know not a lot about ARM CPU's other than a few model numbers and that the Pi uses a cell phone class SOC)

How available are these CPU's and where/how would one get a motherboard? OS? Software? Etc?

Don't know what other "China-made security algorithm with an embedded custom security module" is there on that chip.
