    • image

      The Chinese company Loongson has formally introduced the 3A5000 / LS3A5000 processor, built on its own proprietary LoongArch architecture. The product is intended for use in personal computers for the consumer market.

      The chip provides 50% better performance over the previous generation LS3A4000 solution. At the same time, energy consumption has decreased by about 30%.

      The 3A5000 / LS3A5000 processor contains four processing cores operating at 2.3-2.5 GHz. Each core combines four arithmetic logic units (ALU) and two 256-bit blocks to handle vector operations. LoongArch GS464V instruction set used.

      The processor provides approximately the same level of performance as the first generation AMD Ryzen processors. In order to reduce power consumption, the means of dynamic control of frequency and voltage have been implemented. In addition, the product is able to dynamically disconnect unused blocks.

      The new chip contains two DDR4-3200 memory controllers with ECC support and four HyperTransport 3.0 controllers. In addition, support for Chinese encryption standards SM2, SM3 and SM4 has been implemented.

    China: Left turn in online education regulations
    • The Chinese authorities are developing new restrictions on the industry of additional preschool and school education in the country, writes Bloomberg, citing informed sources. These measures could destroy the industry of pro-capitalist private educational services, which is currently largely controlled by the EU and the United States via shady investment practices.

      Educational platforms may be prohibited from attracting private, including foreign, capital or conducting an IPO. Regulators may stop registering new companies that offer gray tutoring with obscure programs. Classes in school subjects during the holidays and on weekends can be banned, which will negatively affect the profits of educational companies, such profits are obtained despite they gain them by destroying the health of students. Authorities can also ban investments in educational companies that are already listed on stock exchanges. Regulators will conduct additional verification of the owners and source of materials of existing online platforms. The next step could be the nationalization of services.

      “Making the sector non-profit is the same as completely destroying the industry,” said Wu Yuefeng, a spokesman for the capitalist clique and fund manager for Funding Capital Management.

      Not bad.

    War: China asked US to stop being bully to Syria
    • China is opposed to any attempt to stage a “colour revolution” in Syria, the Chinese foreign minister said as he wrapped up a four-day visit to the Middle East and North Africa, where Beijing is steadily increasing its influence.

      “The practice of trampling on the sovereignty of other countries in the name of democratic transformation is unpopular, and staging colour revolutions and forcing regime change is even more harmful,” he said, according to a transcript published by the foreign ministry on Thursday.

      Wang urged the US to lift its sanctions on Syria, where the economy is at risk of collapse after a decade of domestic conflict, even as the war winds down in much of the country.

      “While the Syrian people are worried about the economic sanctions, some countries are talking about protecting human rights in Syria, showing only hypocrisy,” he said, adding that “the US and the West should immediately lift all unilateral sanctions and economic blockades against Syria” so that humanitarian aid channels could be opened up.

      Wang said his trip was “to send a clear signal that China supports the Syrian government and people in safeguarding their sovereign independence and … opposes external interference and power politics”.

      Tone and themes of China talks are changing fast.
