China Develops Their Own CPU: The "Dragon Chip"

Posted by michael on from the dragon-and-phoenix-with-fried-rice dept.

vaxzilla writes "China's People's Daily Online is reporting in this article that the Computer Institution of the Chinese Academy of Science have developed a new CPU, which they're calling the Dragon Chip. The report isn't clear on the technical details of the chip, though it does state, somewhat confusingly, that it, `is based on the RISC structure, a totally another standard. Therefore, it will not fall into the intellectual property right trap.' They're running Linux on the chip and have built a server around it, Soaring Dragon. It looks like China is starting to tell both Microsoft and Intel to take a hike. Interesting times are ahead."

    .. their dragon chip and renamed it the dr@g0n. I'm almost done with an emulator which will make the dr@g0n run like the x86.

    When I'm done with that, I'm going to get xbox to run on the chip and then hack that to run linux and then add Wine to emulate an xbox.

    Hold on.. there are guys with red coats at my doo...
