News: CPU a 64bit in arrivo dalla Cina

[Staff]

La nuova CPU MIPS che arriverà sul mercato cinese a breve si chiama Godson-2, processore dalle modeste caratteristiche ma in grado di supportare codice a 64bit, vedere a <a href="http://www.ebns.com/showArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=NEEL3H3XRMJ52QSNDBCSKICCJUMEIJVN?articleID=7400203" target?="_blank">questo indirizzo</a>per maggiori dettagli:
<blockquote><i>The chip is dubbed Godson-2 and is the follow-on to a 32-bit, 266-MHz version released last year that is aimed at the embedded systems market. Both chips are largely based on the MIPS instruction set, but are not fully compatible because they avoid the use of key instructions that would run afoul of MIPS patents. <br><br>Godson-2, which has also been translated into English as Dragon or Longxin, has already been prototyped. Samples are expected to roll in the first half of next year. The chip will be binary backward compatible to the 32-bit Godson-1, a path of compatibility first chosen by Advanced Micro Devices in development of its Opteron line.</blockquote></i>
