Godson 2 is a family of 64-bit MIPS low-end desktop processors developed by the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ICT) in 2003. The Godson 1 processors are now developed by Loongson Technology (which was co-founded by ICT) and sold as low-power embedded and desktop processors. The Godson 2 is famous for being the first Chinese developed 64-bit microprocessors.
