As we all know, there are two major X86 chip manufacturers in China, one is Haiguang, which is mainly for servers. The authorization of X86 comes from AMD. The other one is Zhaoxin, which is mainly aimed at desktop computers, and the X86 license comes from VIA.
Because Zhaoxin's technical authorization comes from VIA, Zhaoxin is also the only manufacturer in China that has the R&D capabilities of three core technologies: CPU, GPU, and chipsets, and has attracted much attention.
In 2019, Zhaoxin discovered the KX-6000 series CPU, which is manufactured using 16nm process, with relatively good performance and has been used by some domestic computer manufacturers. Therefore, everyone is full of expectations for Zhaoxin's new CPU and hopes that there will be a big leap forward in performance.
Recently, Zhaoxin officially released the new generation of data center-level processor "Kaisheng KH-40000" and the new generation of consumer-level processor "Kaisheng KX-6000G".
Among them, KX-6000G is a continuation of the KX-6000 series, and also uses a 16nm process, 4 cores and 4 threads. According to Zhaoxin, the new chip has significantly improved its CPU computing architecture, GPU graphics performance, and energy efficiency.
. In CPU performance (7zip test), compared with the previous generation of products, the performance increased by nearly 30%. In the 3Dmark11 test graphics test, the graphics performance increased by 4 times.
In addition, the overall energy efficiency of has been improved by 60% compared with the previous generation, and the standby power consumption has been reduced by 50%, which can be said to be a huge improvement.
However, although it has made great progress compared with the previous generation, the gap is too big if compared with the benchmark INTEL and AMD. According to the test score of Geekbench5.1, the single-core score of KX-6000G is 415 points and the multi-core score is 1209 points. What is this score?
From the performance of similar products of Geekbench5.1, it is similar to the X86 chip level of AMD and INTEL 10 years ago. We also consider 4 cores and 4 threads, and it is also a CPU with a frequency of around 3.2GHz. Judging from the single-core and multi-core results, and 4 cores and 4 threads AMD Athlon X4 740 (32nm process was launched in 2012), and 4 cores and 4 threads Intel Xeon X3360 (45nm process was launched in 2008).
This shows that although Zhaoxin has X86 authorization, it is still a bit far behind in terms of IP core , design, etc. Otherwise, it would not have the 16nm process and would not be able to match the 45nm of its competitors. What do you think?
So the domestic CPU needs to be refueled. Now the breakthrough of 0 to 1 has been achieved. Next, from 1 to 10, and then from 10 to 100, 1000, 1000, 10000, is also very, very important.
