From the Linux kernel updates I've seen it's a RISC processor in the main line of that CPU design style. So it's entirely possible to compare them. It's basically equivalent to a mid-range Intel processor of 2016. > If that’s not enough performance to impress you Compare this with the work Apple did during the same period -- the M1 ARM CPU. > China’s semiconductor industry is approaching self-sufficiency very > quickly, even if they’re still a ways off. Self-sufficiency is its own goal. The current cost of that is performance about a decade behind US-designed processors. The question is "self-sufficiency for what?" As it stands at the moment this give self-sufficiency for the CPUs used in higher-end military systems. Maybe that's the entirety of the aim. If their aim is longer then a non-typical ISA starts to be problematic. -- Glen Turner _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
