★ Quad-core MIPS64 FOSS laptop ★

If I had a YeeLong-8133 I would cuddle with it every night before going to sleep.
If I had a YeeLong-8133 I would code in MIPS64 assembly every day.
If I had a YeeLong-8133 I would print out x86 assembly listings on toilet paper and wipe my anus with them.

We're all waiting, Lemote.  I'm not buying any other laptop; I demand a free open-source non-treacherous BIOS.

Loongson 3 adds over 200 new instructions to speed up x86 instruction execution at a cost of 5% of the total die area. The new instructions help QEMU translate x86 instructions by lowering the overhead of executing x86/CISC-style instructions in the MIPS pipeline. With added improvements in QEMU from ICT, Loongson-3 achieves an average of 70% the performance of executing native binaries when running x86 binaries from nine benchmarks.

It can run x86 code at near-native speed, too?
