Zhaoxin (Chinese CPU) to match Intel’s Core i5-7400 with the KX-6000 octa-core

Zhaoxin, a relatively new CPU maker by Chinese government, was announcing back in 2018 that it is planning to become a serious competitor for Intel and AMD. Back then, Zhaoxin started the development of a 16 nm octa-core CPU named KX-6000, claiming that it could match Intel’s mid-range desktop CPUs. Now producing the Windows-compatible KX-6000 chip clocked at 3.0 GHz and initial tests reveal that it is as fast as Intel’s i5-7400 quad-core 14 nm CPU. It brings China closer to breaking away from the U.S. interdependence, especially now with the trade wars between the two states reaching critical points.

KH-40000 series are also scheduled to be produced using TSMC’s 7 nm node in the near future for datacenter market. W may see some updated processors by mid-2020, as soon as the DDR5 standard gains more traction. No info on pricing for the time being, but, since these CPUs are meant to be sold primarily in China, prices are expected to be considerably lower than Intel’s offer.
