This is the best summary I could come up with:
Chinese chip shop Loongson, which has built modest CPUs based on its own MIPS-like architecture, is on the march towards enterprise workloads.
The silicon slinger yesterday announced that 53 software developers have created 105 products compatible with its instruction set architecture (ISA).
Loongson's list includes a server virtualization platform, a hyperconverged stack, and a cloud management product from the Chinese hardware maker.
Loongson deliberately eschews compatabiilty with either x86 or Arm in favour tech inspired by the permissively-licensed MIPS and RISC-V ISAs.
It's been a good couple of weeks for the Chinese chip designer, which has also announced adoption of its silicon by a vendor of network-attached storage devices.
As is the news from last week that "nearly one thousand" desktops running on Loongson CPUs have found a home in one district of the city of Fuzhou.
