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.
Yay! Another cold war! With china this time! Maybe hot war eventually this time...all we need is some unfortunate boat full of Americans to get sunk to start WW3 like the last 2. At least they can apparently copy our stuff as well as the russians can...
After the fall of the wall in Germany, we had some IT students from the former East Germany. Their Volks-computer was an exact copy of a Vax running version 4.7 of VMS. They had x-rayed the chip and produced a copy themselves. The OS was stolen. 
lol, go china! (j/k)
We beat the USSR I hope we have enough left to beat the Chi Coms.
Sometimes I worry about the future of the US but Greek guy back some time ago said that his youths were lazy, disrepectful, stupid ect and he did not see how civilization would carry on but were still here. So I guess I could be wrong.

, but this time, the chinese are really coming with their dragon CPUs. see video.google.com for a cheap computer with Godson2.
