[edit] Loongson 2F

Loongson 2F is the latest processor in Loongson 2 Family. Also manufactured by STMicroelectronics.

It is identical to the Loongson 2E with several improvements:

  • Higher Clock Frequency: 1.2GHz maximum
  • Advanced power control technology: less than 6 Watt under 1GHz in the same 90nm
  • Integrated DDR2 controller
  • Integrated northbridge providing faster IO (compared with former PCI bus) with PCI-X 66 bus
  • Smaller Packaging.
