As we all know, most of the big vendors such as Intel, Nvidia, MSI and the likes are getting their hardware made from China. And in a bid to be more “Technologically Independent”, the chinese government has set a goal build a Processor on its own, called the Godson-3.
The Godson-3 is a third generation, quad-core design — the project was started in 2001 — and the goal is to use it to bring PCs to most Chinese citizens by 2010. Importantly, the 65nm Godson-3 will be x86 compatible through simulation, which means it’ll be be able to run Windows about 80 percent as fast as a comparable Intel chip
Although other Godson chips are already on the Chinese market in Linux-powered desktops and laptops under the name Loongson, or “dragon chip,” they’ve been hampered by incompatibility with x86 software, so this should open things up significantly. We’ll definitely be keeping an eye on this one — hopefully it’ll bring about more than just another flood of cheap netbooks.
