They're not show-stoppers compared to Western tech, but they could still be good workstations.

    we hope will will see some reviews by western media, with clear comparisons against AMD and Intel solutions.

    So Tom’s Hardware is hoping that someone with motherboard expertise will step up and test these things proper so (presumably) Tom’s Hardware can report the results.

    If they can compete with AMD instead of the dying intel, sure, why not?

    Are they x86 to begin whith or r they another ARM based cpu?

      It is a custom architecture somewhat related to MIPS

    Is there even a reason to continue development of Loongson now that China’s deep into RISCV?

        Western corporate media’s wild rumors of GINA spyware > known NSA spyware.

        Hey, it"s not bad if it’s the US doing it… freedom for everyone

          It’s absolutely bad when the US does it. I made no claim otherwise. Cheap tech being used as an entry point for data mining the customers, regardless of country the products are sold in is pretty well documented at this point.

            No different than the Amazon Echo devices, Google Assisstant hardware and other such devices being sold at a loss just to squeeze all that juicy data.

            And people willingly put these spyware always on mic devices in their homes.

            We need more awareness on privacy…

              100% agree. I’ve only just started my privacy/self hosted journey almost exactly 1 year ago. Still learning, but I’m loving the experience so far.

        Yes, and…? Did I claim otherwise anywhere? Privacy isn’t a zero sum game. You cant fully protect yourself short of ditching tech and the Internet entirely. And even then, there’s already a digital footprint left behind you’ll never get rid of. But you can make informed choices like not trusting Google or Microsoft to host your personal data, not buying the smart home devices, keeping data local only/host your own cloud, use Linux instead of Windows, etc.

        That’s quite a leap, isn’t it? When China has demonstrably expressed intent in data mining the world.

        https://www.zdnet.com/article/chinese-hacking-group-backdoors-products-from-three-asian-gaming-companies/

        Plenty more examples if you look even briefly.
