Almost all parameters are unknown The Chinese company Loongson produces not only some of the most modern Chinese processors, but also GPUs. And its new development is designed to compete with Nvidia accelerators for AI, although they are far from the most productive and modern. [caption id="attachment_85288" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Loongson introduced LG200 AI accelerator[/caption] The accelerator (or its GPU) is called LG200. The characteristics of this solution, unfortunately, are unknown. The block diagram shows that the GPU consists of 16 small ALUs, four large ALUs, and one huge ALU or special purpose unit. Loongson introduced LG200 AI accelerator But the performance is known, albeit for the whole node: from 256 GFLOPS to 1 TFLOPS. Here, unfortunately, the details are again unknown, so it is unclear for which mode the performance is indicated, but even if it is FP64, the figure is quite modest, since modern monsters Nvidia and AMD offer 50-60 TFLOPS or more. At the same time, Loongson’s solution is a GPGPU, that is, it supports general-purpose computing. Unfortunately, there are no details here yet. Separately, we can recall that Loongson promised next year to release a video card that can compete with the Radeon RX 550 , whose performance (FP32) is just over 1.1 TFLOPS. It is possible that the LG200 will be a direct relative of this adapter.

By the time of the official debut, Meteor Lake Core Ultra 9 185H should improve performance Intel has already started sending samples of Meteor Lake processors to laptop manufacturers, despite the fact that there is still plenty of time before their official launch, scheduled for December 14. It is not surprising that test results for new CPUs have already begun to appear on the Internet. For example, one blogger in China received a laptop based on Intel Core Ultra 9 185H, and the person ran the Geekbench benchmark on it. [caption id="attachment_76993" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel Core Ultra 9[/caption] The results are as follows: 1864 points in the single-threaded test and 13,720 points in the multi-threaded test. Single-threaded performance at this stage is clearly far from the maximum, as it is still at the level of the Core i7-1195G7 and Core i5-1235U. But the multithreaded situation is better: the 32-core AMD Threadripper 3970X and the 12-core sub-flagship Ryzen 9 7845HX demonstrate similar results.
