China's Godson-2 CPU is a MIPS rip chip
Fab tech only two generations behind
By INQUIRER staff: Monday 25 July 2005, 11:16
MARKET RESEARCH firm In-Stat said that the Godson-2 64 bit microprocessor shows that Communist China is close to being a major player in CPU design.
But, said the firm in a report, the CPU, which is "95 per cent" MIPS compatible, raises questions about intellectual property. That's because it's an unauthorised re-make of the MIPS R10000.
Although the Godson-2, also known as Dragon, is only being sold into home markets, In-Stat reckons it could make waves abroad by being embedded in consumer electronic products.
One obstacle to China owning the CPU market is that it's a couple of generations behind in fab tech, said In-Stat.
It interviewed Weiwu Hu, the chip "architect", who is a boffin at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. µ
市场调研公司 In-Stat 认为,龙芯2 64位微处理器表明中共在CPU设计方面正在成为重要角色。但该调研公司还认为,具有95%指令兼容性的龙芯2 64同时也带来知识产权方面的麻烦。因为龙芯未经授权使用指令集R10000。尽管以中国龙芯著称的龙芯2 仅正进入家用市场,但 In-Stat 评估在海外嵌入电子消费品市场,龙芯可能会激起一场新的波澜。该调研公司认为中国拥有自主CPU的障碍之一是中国在fab技术上至少落后两代。他们会见了中科院研究员、芯片架构师 魏武华(音译)。
