China's Godson-2 CPU is a MIPS rip chip The Chinese 64-bit processor known as Godson-2, or Dragon, follows an unauthorized, unlicensed variation of the MIPS architecture, perhaps creating an intellectual property (IP) controversy between the U.S. and China. Market research firm In-Stat said that the Godson-2 64 bit microprocessor shows that Communist China is close to being a major player in CPU design. But, said the firm in a report, the CPU, which is "95 per cent" MIPS compatible, raises questions about intellectual property. That"s because it"s an unauthorised re-make of the MIPS R10000. For now, at least, the Chinese are producing Godson processors solely for their own domestic market. However, international exports are possible in the future, especially if the Chinese embed their processors in consumer electronics products and other finished goods shipped to world markets. weblog.physorg.com
