On November 28, 2023, Loongson held a product release and user conference, which was held at the National Convention Center. At the scene, Loongson officially released the new generation of general-purpose processor Loongson 3A6000. At the same time, more than 50 partner manufacturers also launched desktop computers, notebook computers, boards, storage products, network security equipment, industrial control computers and other products based on Loongson 3A6000 at this conference

Surprisingly, ASUS, the world's leading brand of computers and digital technology, also announced its cooperation with Loongson Zhongke to launch a new motherboard product XC-LS3A6M based on Loongson 3A6000.

At the press conference, Yu Yuanlin, General Manager of ASUS Computer Co., Ltd. China, took the stage to give a speech and introduced the technical details of the XC-LS3A6M motherboard. After the press conference, this website had the opportunity to interview Mr. Yu Yuanlin for the first time and had a detailed exchange around the new XC-LS3A6M motherboard and the cooperation between ASUS and Loongson.

According to public information, Yu Yuanlin currently serves as the general manager of ASUS Computer Co., Ltd. China. He has already accumulated extensive sales and marketing experience in his early days as ASUS Product Director. Under his leadership, ASUS continues to innovate and provide users with ultimate, efficient, stable, easy-to-use, and secure smart hardware solutions

He is also an UP owner with 800,000 fans on Bilibili and is deeply loved by Loved by young netizens, he is affectionately called Uncle Tony by the majority of Bilibili netizens

At the beginning of the interview, another media teacher who participated in the interview with this site asked about the timing of the cooperation between ASUS and Loongson Zhongke. Yu Yuanlin first introduced that the cooperation between the two parties actually started with the Loongson 3A5000, but the final product was not mass-produced at that time. In April this year, after a meeting and exchange between ASUS and Mr. Hu Weiwu, chairman of Loongson Zhongke, the two parties quickly started the development of products based on this generation of 3A6000. By November, ASUS motherboard test samples based on 3A6000 were already available. Conduct testing and evaluation for media and developers.

This site first raised two questions about the XC-LS3A6M motherboard. First, we discovered that this motherboard comes with a fan, so we wanted to know if mainstream water-cooling and air-cooling radiators on the market would be directly compatible by replacing the clips. In this regard, Yu Yuanlin said that the entire package of this CPU is different from the structure of mainstream desktops in the past. It basically belongs to the BGA architecture. The height of the entire chip will be somewhat different from Intel and AMD chips, so compatibility is currently not possible

Yu Yuanlin also emphasized that the energy consumption ratio of 3A6000 is very good, and the power consumption is very low. Many tests basically consume about 50W, and the fan basically does not rotate very much, so its heat dissipation requirements are not that great. high. However, improving compatibility is indeed a direction Asus is working hard. Considering that future users may have the need to increase the frequency, the cooling requirements will be higher than now. Asus is also working hard to try to be compatible with more mainstream user-side radiators.

Then the editor asked a question about overclocking. The performance of Loongson 3A6000 in overclocking is really surprising. So what difficulties did Asus solve during the overclocking experiment?

This question was also shared by Yu Yuanlin. First of all, there was no overclocking option on Loongson motherboards before. However, with the help of Loongson, overclocking options have been added to the BIOS this time, and some innovations have also been made. For the convenience of novice users, several adjustable gears are provided. At the same time, the voltage of the CPU can also be adjusted this time, and an expert mode has been added, that is, manual adjustment. All microcodes can be adjusted, basically every 5MHz frequency can be adjusted. However, it is still relatively conservative overall, with the highest frequency only set to 3GHz. ASUS is also trying to use better cooling methods to improve frequency performance. Yu Yuanlin revealed that in the early morning of the 28th, a version of 4GHz BIOS had been launched

Perhaps some students would like to know whether Loongson 3A6000 and ASUS motherboards can be stable if they are overclocked all the time. performance? Yu Yuanlin replied that the overclocking option may have been tested since last week, and before the product is launched, Asus will continue to test to find the best overclocking point for the 3A6000 chip. According to the constitution of the chip, continuous testing is carried out to achieve better performance

We will conduct these long-term tests to ensure that users can use it for a long time after overclocking, not just to look at the running scores

In short, the cooperation between ASUS and Loongson is undoubtedly a unique surprise for technology enthusiasts. After all, ASUS's brand influence in the consumer market is obvious to all, and many people are looking forward to purchasing these products as soon as possible. According to Yu Yuanlin, the motherboard products are expected to be launched in January-February next year. During the interview, we also asked ASUS whether it would launch a complete product equipped with a Loongson processor, and Yu Yuanlin answered "yes" with certainty. ASUS's thinking is very clear. It will be easier to ensure the quality of the motherboard first and then develop the complete product. Whether it is a laptop, desktop, server or mini computer, ASUS believes that there is a lot of room for cooperation between the two parties. Speaking of this, we have to talk about Loongson’s vision for 3A6000 this time. In the past, we When it comes to Loongson's products, the first reaction may be the party and government enterprise market, which is the information and innovation industry. For the ToC consumer market, it is obviously still a niche compared to Intel, AMD, etc. The performance of 3A6000 allows us to see the possibility of Loongson further developing in the consumer market. This cooperation with ASUS is precisely hoping to use ASUS's influence in the consumer market to help Loongson further develop in the consumer market. develop.

IT之家采访华硕中国区总经理俞元麟:龙芯 3A6000 已满足主流 C 端需求,努力打造高品质产品#The characteristic of the consumer market is that product quality is the last word. Therefore, Yu Yuanlin also said frankly that the first thing in the cooperation between ASUS and Loongson is to make a good product and polish the quality of the product. For example, when you want to buy a product, you can choose Intel or AMD and other products. Brand, you can easily choose Loongson, and everyone chooses Loongson not because of Xinchuang or other reasons, but just because they think its products are of good quality, or they are recognized by Loongson from chips to motherboards, from all hardware to software operating systems. Attracted by its system that is independent of ×86 or ARM and the corresponding unique experience. The goal of both parties is that in an open market, Loongson can also have its own unique competitiveness and attraction.

From the perspective of ASUS, with the progress of cooperation with Loongson and the launch of the new XC-LS3A6M motherboard, ASUS will provide resource support in marketing promotion. Regarding the enterprise market, Yu Yuanlin said that with the release of Loongson 3A6000, the innovative market is expected to explode. ASUS also hopes to provide services for these machine manufacturers and enter ASUS motherboards into the innovative market

In the C-end market, ASUS believes that the performance of 3A6000 has met the requirements of the consumer market. In terms of software ecology, some Windows software and games that currently run through binary translation can achieve good operating results. As Loongson continues to optimize its compatibility, including improvements in translation efficiency and integration of the next-generation ×87 instruction set, more and more consumers will accept Loongson's products and purchase them directly. As the world's largest motherboard manufacturer, ASUS will continue to launch high-quality products to help Loongson continue to expand its influence in the consumer market

IT之家采访华硕中国区总经理俞元麟:龙芯 3A6000 已满足主流 C 端需求,努力打造高品质产品 Overall, through this Through communication with Yu Yuanlin, General Manager of ASUS Computer Co., Ltd. China, we have a deeper understanding of the details of the cooperation between ASUS and Loongson. Both parties have a common goal, which is to create good products around Loongson chips, and for Loongson It can be said that a unique system of chips, motherboards, complete machines, operating systems, and software ecosystems based on self-developed instruction sets that is independent of ×86 and ARM can be developed in the consumer market, and can be recognized and loved by consumers from the bottom of their hearts.
