Zhaoxin's kx-6000 chinese cpu matches the performance of the core i5
Table of contents:
Late last year, China- based processor designer Zhaoxin Semiconductor (jointly owned by the Shanghai government and VIA Technologies) promised that its upcoming 8-core CPUs based on TSMC's 16nm node could match the performance of 4-core i5 processors, and today is that day: The new KX-6000 CPUs are said to offer performance on par with the Core i5-7400, clocked at 3.0 GHz.
The KX-6000 CPU has 8 cores and offers similar performance to the Core i5-7400.
Although this level of performance may seem unimpressive, it is actually a very significant development for some reasons.
Companies like VIA and Zhaoxin are eager to compete with Intel, AMD, IBM and other manufacturers because China wants its own processors, not only to compete within its own borders, but also to compete abroad and reduce the country's exposure to external influence. The international CPU scene is dominated by American companies such as Intel, AMD and IBM, among others. Whether for political or economic reasons, the prospect of China producing and exporting profitable and powerful processors is tantalizing.
It is also a significant technological achievement for Zhaoxin. Any type of CPU that can compete with Intel in any field is impressive, as Intel is at the top of the hierarchy in both size and technology.

Zhaoxin could offer competitive processors for the x86 market and that would change the current dynamics of AMD-Intel-IBM. The Core i5-7400 is not Intel's fastest desktop CPU, but it is one of the most balanced today. Even AMD's first-generation Ryzen CPUs battled it in single-threaded workloads.
Lenovo already uses older generation Zhoaxin processors in some notebooks. Zhaoxin is also planning to launch competitive server CPUs (the KH-40000 series), but with a 7nm TSMC node with support for PCIe 4.0 and DDR5. Zhaoxin hasn't said exactly when these CPUs will arrive, but it will take a while since the next DDR5 memory is planned to be used.
