As we all know, in the PC field, X86 is completely monopolized, accounting for at least 90% of the market share. Others like MIPS, ARM, RISC-V, etc. are not opponents of X86.
This is related to the fact that X86 is a complex instruction set, and it is also related to the fact that X86 is bound to the Windows operating system and has a strong Intel alliance. After all, PCs need not only performance, but also a strong and complete ecosystem.
Because of this, there are also two manufacturers in China that develop their own CPUs based on X86. One is Haiguang, whose X86 CPUs are mainly used in servers, and the authorization comes from AMD.
Another company is Zhaoxin, which also conducts research and development based on X86, mainly desktop CPUs, and servers are also involved, and the authorization comes from VIA.
Zhaoxin launched the KX-6000 series of processors in 2019, with up to 8 cores and a frequency of up to 3.0GHz. It also integrates a nuclear display and is the most advanced X86 desktop processor in China.
Recently, Zhaoxin's latest KX-6000G processor was exposed again, and its running scores all appeared on Geekbench, competing with AMD and INTEL.
So the question is, how does this CPU perform compared with AMD and INTEL?
According to Geekbench data, the KX-6000G is a 4-core design, running at a high frequency of 3.2GHz, with a single-core score of 415 and a multi-core score of 1209.
What level is this score? Judging from the Geekbench database, its single and multi-core results are comparable to CPUs such as AMD Athlon X4 740 with 4 cores and 4 threads (32nm process launched in 2012), and Intel Xeon X3360 with 4 cores and 4 threads (launched in 2008 with 45nm process) almost.
These two chips also have 4 cores, and the frequency is about 3.0GHz. The difference is not particularly large, and they can be compared.
what does that mean? To know these two chips, AMD was launched in 2012, based on the 32nm process, while INTEL was launched in 2008, based on the 45nm process, and these are chips more than 10 years ago.
The gap in the middle can be imagined, and it is more polite to say 10 years. It can be seen that the domestic X86 chip is really far behind the two giants INTEL and AMD, and domestic production still needs to work hard.
Of course, the Geekbench results are just for reference, and the exposed information may not be accurate, but it still has certain reference value, what do you think?
