They’re not show-stoppers compared to Western tech, but they could still be good workstations.
not every pc needs to be a monster; most people really don’t need a desktop much more powerful than a high-end phone. the gains loongson has made in power efficiency is a good track to be on.
Exactly, especially when running Linux that doesn’t have all the bloat of windows or macos. I also imagine that top priority is replacing western hardware and software in use by the government. You don’t need bleeding edge hardware to do email, spreadsheets, and document editing.
It’s not like you have any choice other than GNU/Linux if you get a LoongArch based computer lol. I don’t think Apple will ever give a shit and Microsoft currently only has an ARM port of Windows which mostly works on some aarch64 boards. It’s obviously a move to make themselves more independent of western closed source garbage.

emacs ftw.
lol emacs might be a bit too intense for your average office worker :)
What, you are saying I don’t need a watercooled 7800x3d to check my email!? Next you will be insinuating I don’t need a 4090 for Minecraft.
