说实话，我衷心希望中国的芯片产业变好变强。但是社会上浮躁的气氛也影响着这个行业，“汉芯”事件就是一个例子。“汉芯”倒了，我们还有“龙芯”。虽然龙芯的炒作方式颇有争议，但至少到目前为止，没人说龙芯在学术上造假——不管怎样，这是一个可以正常工作的，能实现基本功能的CPU。如网友芯片专家所说，“有总比没有好”，“gs系列值得肯定，但过于包装，言过其实！需要降温”。

直到上个月，我在EE Times Europe的News Letters里看到一篇关于龙芯的报导，就不免要在心里多打一个问号了。我犹豫了很久要不要把此文转过来。如果原文作者猜测的事情非常不巧的是事实，那龙芯所涉及的事情就不是简单的过度包装了，而是欺骗性的炒作。如果原文不幸在中国流传开了，希望龙芯方面给出一个让人满意的说法。

中国芯，别让我们失望！

我摘录一段：
... ...Word is that STMicroelectronics is interested in buying the IP associated with the Godson, a 32-bit processor originally developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

This will be a strange one if true, if only because CAS confirmed it and then later said they didn't know much about it. An ST spokeswoman said her company doesn't know anything about it, either. Nevertheless, it's been ripe speculation in the Chinese media, which loves it when foreign companies take an interest in local technology and have been know to spin long tails when short on facts.

Anyway, our crack at trying to confirm this put us in touch with Guojie Li, director of Institute of Computing Technology at CAS. Li said ST has purchased the manufacturing and global sales rights of the Godson 2E, with expected sales of more than 10 million units per year. Again, STMicro is mum on this.

...
简要得说一下大意：关于ST购买龙芯相关IP的事情，并没有得到ST方面的确认(没有肯定，也没有否定)，中科院也声称知道这事但不了解细节。

原文的后半段含有一些可能令国人不快的语言，还提到了龙芯与MIPS高度相似的事情。无关主题，我就不转了。不过还要说一点：如果你本身没有过硬的技术就出来说大话，得到的必然是外人的耻笑。
