After Chongqing Municipality and Liaoning Province, the China-made PC "Tianyue" has also rolled off the production line in Hainan. The PCs use completely home-grown parts and operating systems, which is expected to produce 100,000 units a year.
According to local media, the "Tianyue" series of computers rolled off the production line in Hainan on July 16, and its production facility is in the Hainan Baotong Industrial Company, located in Haikou. It has also completed a production line with an annual capacity of nearly 100,000 units.
The "Tianyue" is the first pure China-made computer with chip and operating system all self-developed. It is designed by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Group and produced by the state-owned Shenyang Liaoning Radio.
Here is a comment from one of cnTechPost's readers:
Unremarkable story in itself, but interesting in historic context.
- 20y or so ago, USA banned exports of high-perfomance CPUs to China.
- As response, China announced plans to invest into R&D of their own CPUs.
- Several years ago, Chinese succeeded with "Loongson" HPC CPU. https://t.co/k2YYkX66ss

The report did not mention the specific specifications of the "Tianyue" computer, but according to previous reports, the Tianyue family of computers is available in 4 models and 9 products.
It is divided into two categories: general-purpose and special-purpose and uses processors such as the Phytium FT2000/4 and the Loongson 3A400 series processors, all made in China.
The Phytium processors are clocked at 1.5GHz and Loongson processors are clocked at 1.2GHz to 1.4GHz. 1.5GHz.
The main frequency of mainstream desktop CPUs on the market today is around 3GHz, and while it doesn't make much sense to simply compare the main frequency, this data shows that China-made computing and in the speed of the operation has a lot of room for improvement.
Its operating systems are also made in China, with the supporting systems including Galaxy Kylin, NeoKylin, and Deepin.
Back in June this year, the Tianyue computer had successfully rolled off the production line in Chongqing and revealed details of its configuration. Detailed information about Tianyue series computers is also available on the Loongson website.
Earlier this month, the Tianyue computer was rolled off the production line in Liaoning, where a production line with an annual output of 100,000 sets of has been completed, and the output value is expected to be 500 million in 10 years.
