it home reported on september 10 that loongson technology held a 2024 semi-annual performance briefing today. during the investor q&a session, someone asked, "there are two questions. one is when will a stable windows virtual machine (or directly install windows on loongson) be launched? the second is when will a virtual machine or translation for the android system be launched?"

the official reply from loongson technology said:

there is a version of the virtual machine running windows. it seems to run windows 7 well, and some partners are already trying it out. there is still a lot of room for performance optimization. for example, the current version does not support gpu, but we will try to support gpu by the end of the year.

since it is a system-level virtual machine, it only needs to translate x86 instructions and does not need to simulate windows interfaces. the workload is relatively limited. it is expected that major performance optimization will be completed by the end of this year or the beginning of next year. it should be mature after about a year of running-in in combination with application requirements next year. on this basis, according to the needs of software virtual machines, core-state instructions will be added to the next generation of cpus to further improve performance. do it thoroughly.

the android virtual machine is currently in the pre-research stage and will be available in beta next year. android already has a preliminary version on the la architecture.

in another reply, loongson technology officials also revealed:

the native version of wine for loongson can already support some windows applications, especially printer drivers and the loongson browser compatible with ie, which have become the characteristics of the loongson linux platform.

according to previous reports by it home, at the 2023 loongson product launch and user conference in november 2023, loongson technology officially revealed that the loongson platform can already run most x86/linux applications, and strive to run most x86/windows applications smoothly in 1-2 years.
