Loongson's 3A6000 Brings Simultaneous Multi-Threading To LoongArch

[tuxd3v]

Curious if it's really 8 core. The 3A6000 was supposed to be a 16-core chip, not 16-thread. The 3B6000 was supposed to be the 8-core variant with big.LITTLE 4 efficient cores and 4 performance cores.

From the old (and now obsolete?) roadmap: (source)

I think they have a designation of A,B,C..
A,B for desktop and laptop, and C for datacenter

I don't know but maybe the desktop part will be a 16 core, 32 threads
The idea of big.LITLE...I don't know what to think of it..on paper seems to be a good thing, for laptops and mobile phones..tablets too.

But for desktops, it seems a very bad Idea..

A-Desktop/ laptop 4 core: 3A3000/ 3A4000/3A5000(4C4T)/3A6000(4C8T)
B-Server 8 core :3B5000
C-Server 16 core:3C5000L/3C5000
D-Server 32 core :3D5000
E- more core maybe 64-256
