Given that the 3A6000 has such a low clock speed by today’s standards (even the Pentium Gold G7400 has a boost clock of 3.7GHz), it wasn’t surprising that Geekwan’s benchmarks showed that Loongson’s CPU wasn’t an impressive performer. It couldn’t even catch up to Intel’s 2020-era Core i3-10100, which enjoyed roughly a 20% to 40% performance advantage. Efficiency wasn’t impressive either, as the 3A6000 consumed about 40 watts to the 10100’s 30 or so watts. It’s not a great result for the 3A6000 considering the 10100’s underlying technology is actually from 2016.

That would be one hot potato :)
