Loongson 3C6000 Server CPU Successfully Taped Out
Hu Weiwu, chairman of Loongson Technology Co., Ltd., announced that the company's server CPU, Loongson 3C6000, has recently completed tape-out. Test results indicate that its general processing performance has significantly improved compared to the previous generation server CPU, Loongson 3C5000, reaching the level of Intel's mid-to-high-end Xeon Silver 4314 processor.
The Loongson 3C6000 is a CPU product aimed at the server market, featuring 16 cores and 32 threads on a single die, supporting dual, quad, and octa-socket direct connections. This CPU uses Loongson's self-developed instruction set architecture, "LoongArch," without requiring foreign authorization. From the overall architecture planning to the functional definitions of each component, and the detailed encoding, naming, and meaning of each instruction, Loongson has redesigned everything with full autonomy. The Loongson 3C6000 processor will also introduce LoongChain 1.0 for inter-die interconnection, significantly reducing inter-die access latency for the first time.

Node.js Adds Native Support for TypeScript
Node.js has merged a PR that adds experimental support for TypeScript. According to the PR description, developers can execute TypeScript files by configuring the experimental flag --experimental-strip-types.
Node.js will automatically transpile TypeScript code int* code. During the transpilation process, type checking will not be performed, and types will be discarded—this process is referred to as "type stripping" by the Node.js team.
