On November 28, 2023 Godson Product Release and User Conference was held in the National Convention Center, and Godson officially released a new generation of general-purpose processor Godson 3A6000 on site. At the same time, more than 50 partner manufacturers launched desktop computers, notebooks, boards, storage products, network security equipment, industrial control computers and other products based on Godson 3A6000.

Surprisingly, ASUS, the world's leading brand in computer and digital technology, also announced cooperation with Godson Zhongke to launch a brand-new XC-LS3A 6M motherboard based on Godson 3A6000.

At the press conference, Yu Yuanlin, general manager of ASUS Computer Co., Ltd. in China, gave a speech and introduced the technical details of XC-LS3A 6M motherboard. After the launch, CTOnews.com had the opportunity to interview Mr. Yu Yuanlin for the first time, and had a detailed exchange about the new XC-LS3A 6M motherboard and the cooperation between ASUS and Godson.

According to public information, He has accumulated rich experience in sales and marketing since he served as ASUS product director in his early days. Under his leadership, ASUS continues to innovate to create intelligent hardware solutions that are extremely efficient, stable, easy to use and safe for users.

At the same time, he is also a Bilibili UP owner with 800,000 fans. He is deeply loved by young netizens and 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 CTOnews.com asked about the time point of cooperation between ASUS and Longxin Zhongke. Yuan Lin first introduced that the cooperation between the two sides actually started from the time of Longxin 3A5000, but did not mass-produce the final product at that time. In April this year, after a meeting between ASUS and Mr. Hu Weiwu, Chairman of Loongson Technology, the two sides soon launched the development of products based on this generation of 3A6000. By November, ASUS 'motherboard test samples based on 3A6000 had been provided to the media and developers for testing and evaluation.

CTOnews.com started by asking two questions about the XC-LS3A 6M motherboard. First of all, the small editor found that this motherboard is equipped with a fan, so whether the mainstream water-cooled air-cooled radiator on the market can be directly compatible by replacing the buckle? In this regard, Yuan Lin said that the whole package type of this CPU is not the same as the structure of the mainstream desktop in the past. It basically belongs to the BGA architecture. The height of the whole chip will be different from Intel and AMD, so it cannot be compatible at present.

Yuan Lin also stressed that the energy consumption ratio of 3A6000 is very good, the power consumption is very low, many tests are basically about 50W energy consumption, the fan is basically not too rotating, so its requirements for heat dissipation are not so high. However, improving compatibility is indeed a direction ASUS is working hard in. Considering that future users may have the need to increase frequency, the cooling requirements will be higher than now. ASUS is also trying to be compatible with more mainstream user-side radiators.

Then Xiaobian asked a question about overclocking, that is, the performance of this Godson 3A6000 in overclocking is really surprising, so what difficulties did ASUS solve in the overclocking experiment process?

This problem was shared by Yuan Lin. First of all, there was no overclocking option on the BIOS side of the Godson motherboard. This time, with the assistance of Godson, the overclocking option was opened in the BIOS, and some innovations were made to provide several adjustable gears for the white user. At the same time, the CPU voltage can also be adjusted. There is also expert mode, that is, manual adjustment. All microcode is fully open, and basically every 5MHz frequency can be adjusted. However, at present, it is still conservative as a whole, and the highest level is only 3GHz. ASUS is also trying to improve frequency performance with better cooling methods. For example, Yu Yuanlin also revealed that a version of 4GHz BIOS had come out in the early hours of the 28th.

Then some students may be curious, if the Godson 3A6000 with ASUS motherboard has been overclocked use, can stable performance? In this regard, Yuan Lin said, because the overclocking option is probably from last week to do the test, and in the product before the launch of a period of time, ASUS will continue to test, according to the 3A6000 chip physique, find a relatively sweet point.

We will do these long-term tests to ensure that users can use them for a long time after overclocking, rather than just looking at a running score.

In short, I believe this cooperation between ASUS and Godson is undoubtedly a unique surprise for technology enthusiasts. After all, ASUS 'brand influence in the consumer market is obvious to all, and many friends must be looking forward to buying products as soon as possible. Yuan Lin revealed that the motherboard products will be available from January to February next year. In the interview, CTOnews.com also asked whether ASUS will launch the whole machine products equipped with Dragon Core processor in the future. Yuan Lin said "yes" repeatedly with great certainty. ASUS's thinking is very clear, that is, to make a motherboard well first, and then make the whole machine easier. Whether it is notebook, desktop computer, server or even mini PC, ASUS thinks that both parties have a lot of cooperation space.

Speaking of this, we have to talk about Loongson's vision for 3A6000 this time. In the past, when we talked about Loongson's products, the first reaction may be the party and government enterprise market, which is the Xinchuang industry. For ToC's consumer market, it is obviously still a niche compared with Intel and AMD. The performance of 3A6000 allows us to see the possibility of further development of Godson in the consumer market. This cooperation with ASUS also hopes to help Godson further develop in the consumer market with the help of ASUS 'influence in the consumer market.

The consumer market is characterized by: product quality is the last word. Therefore, Yuanlin also admitted frankly that the first thing ASUS hopes to do in cooperation with Godson 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 brands. You can also easily choose Godson. Moreover, everyone chooses Godson not because Xinchuang or other reasons, but because they think its product quality is good, or because Godson is transferred from chip to motherboard. From all hardware to software operating system independent x86 or ARM architecture and corresponding unique experience attracted. The goal of both sides is that in an open market, Godson can also have its own unique competitiveness and attractiveness.

From ASUS, with the promotion of cooperation with Godson and the launch of the XC-LS3A 6M brand new motherboard, ASUS will also provide resource support in marketing. In ToB, Yu Yuanlin said that with the release of the Godson 3A6000, there should be an explosion in the Xinchuang market. ASUS also hopes to serve these complete machine manufacturers and hope to enter ASUS motherboards into the Xinchuang market.

In the C-end market, ASUS believes that the absolute performance of 3A6000 has reached the requirements of the consumer market. In terms of software ecology, some Windows software and games currently running through binary translation can get good running results. With the continuous optimization of compatibility of Godson, including the improvement of translation efficiency, the integration of the next generation ×87 instruction set, etc., more consumers will begin to accept Godson products and buy them directly. As the world's largest motherboard manufacturer, ASUS will continue to launch good products to help Loongson continue to expand the consumer market.

Generally speaking, through this exchange with Yuanlin, general manager of ASUS Computer Co., Ltd. in China, we have a deeper understanding of the details of cooperation between ASUS and Godson. Both parties have a common goal, that is, to build good products around Godson chips. For Godson, we can open a unique system of chips, motherboards, complete machines, operating systems and software ecology based on self-developed instruction sets independent of ×86 and ARM in the consumer market. And can be recognized and loved by consumers from the heart, this is their most important vision, and these, naturally also inseparable from the rich experience in the consumer-level market ASUS support and assistance, and the cooperation between the two sides not only focus on the present, but also focus on the future, the development of the entire Xinchuang industry and the expansion to the consumer market. From this point of view, the cooperation between Godson and ASUS is indeed a perfect match, and I believe that they can really open up a new world in personal computing time in the future.
