Dragon CPU makes computer industry interesting

These days, Dragon CPU (also named GodSon chip) has been a hot topic in IT websites. The performance of the CPU is similar to lower-level Pentium 4. It is a 64-bit CPU with 95% MIPS compatible instruction set. In 03/2006, a ~$180 Godson II computer running Linux called Longmeng (Dragon Dream) was announced.

The IT world will change soon. Let's wait and see ... ...
