A Chinese Challenge to Intel

Researchers have revealed details of China's latest homegrown microprocessor.

In California last week, Chinese researchers unveiled details of a microprocessor that they hope will bring personal computing to most ordinary people in China by 2010. The chip, code-named Godson-3, was developed with government funding by more than 200 researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Computing Technology (ICT).

China is making a late entry into chip making, admits Zhiwei Xu, deputy director of ICT. "Twenty years ago in China, we didn't support R&D for microprocessors," he said during a presentation last week at the Hot Chips conference, in Palo Alto. "The decision makers and [Chinese] IT community have come to realize that CPUs [central processing units] are important."

good news for Chinese people...

Erik Metzger, a patent attorney at Intel, says that the chip will only perform at about 80 percent of the speed of an actual x86 chip. "That implies that [the Chinese government] is going after a low-end market," he says.

Well yeah! but the REAL GLORY days for Intel were back in the early 90's though!

Even this CHINA company comes off good. . there's no real guarantee that it would go solo, some big shot like AMD or Intel themselves would buy it off!
