And they don't waste resources in emulating a MIPS CPU.
If you read Wikipedia and CPU history carefully they only start to emulate CISC because its faster if the only purpose of a chip is to emulate CISC.
in other words my argumentation is unbeatable.

Maybe they support it in 5 years with never amd chip-set from AMD.
First amd chipset who support this is: 890 and Loongson use 7xx based AMD chip-set.

1. way is wine with qemu x86 emulation then the openGL code is native
2. way is the virtual-box way you can use the wine direct3D libs passthrough to get native openGL but right now virtual-box do not support the x86 acceleration of the loongson.
3. way only possible for the future with newer chipset is the "PCI passthrough" way.
There are already Loongson 2 based net-books you can buy but only single-core and very slow because of no 3D acceleration graphic card. I don't think you will buy something like this.
The Loongson 3A Lemote 8133 is a nice notebook quat core but with outdated amd-hd3200 graphic chip. But the best part is there is a UMTS/3G version with sim card reader.
Right now the biggest server system they over is a dual-socket Loongson 3A system with 8 cores and maximum 16gb ram. but the 3A is a 15 watt low power GPU means this system do not have big performance but they will sell the same mainboard with the 3B a ~50 watt CPU.
In 2013 there will be a 16 core CPU build on a 28nm process. this 16 core CPU on a dual socket system or quat socket system will be combative on the server market.
