Pronounciation

> LoongArch

Can we all agree on a western pronunciation?

Do we go with "Long" or "Loon" +arch?

Colour me unconcerned. There was a lot of sabre rattling about the previous versions, which were generations behind and went nowhere as well. As long as the US can scare fabs with sanctions if they work with China, their special Arch-itectures won't even place. Once China shows they can build a cutting-edge fab (instead of just claiming Taiwan's accomplishments for its own) then things get interesting.
