On June 26, 2025, Loongson announced the 3C6000 series of server CPUs that use its proprietary architecture 'Dragon'. The 3C6000 series includes the single silicon chip '3C6000/S' and the multi-silicon chips '3C6000/D' and '3C6000/Q', each with the following number of cores and threads.
| Model name | alias | Number of cores | Number of threads |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3C6000/S | none | 16 | 32 |
| 3C6000/D | 3D6000 | 32 | 64 |
| 3C6000/Q | 3E6000 | 60/64 | 120/128 |
Loongson claims that the 3C6000 series will have performance equal to or greater than Intel's Xeon series, which will be released in 2023. Specifically, the 3C6000/S will have performance equivalent to the Xeon Silver 4314 , the 3C6000/D will have performance equivalent to the Xeon Gold 6338 , and the 3C6000/Q will have performance exceeding that of the Xeon Platinum 8380 .
Loongson also announced the launch of its new 2K3000 and 3B6000M CPUs for notebook PCs and cloud devices, which use Loongson's proprietary Dragon architecture. These CPUs incorporate Loongson's LG200 GPU and can process 4K video at 60 frames per second.
At the Loongson event, humanoid and dog-shaped robots were also exhibited as part of the results report.
