- Post a comment / read (3) A 32-core/64-thread Russian-Chinese Irtysh C632 processor based on LoongArch architecture has successfully run The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Linux. Paired with a Radeon RX 9060 XT GPU, the CPU achieved 22-32 FPS on Ultra settings and 25-38 FPS on Low, as demonstrated at ExpoElectronica 2026.
The system relies on Steam, Proton, Wine, and Box64 binary translation to emulate x86 games, with performance constrained mainly by translation overhead rather than raw hardware power. The Irtysh lineup highlights ongoing Sino-Russian efforts to develop indigenous server and computing alternatives to Western chip designs.
