True, it loses even to the middle-aged Core i3
The Chinese company Zhaoxin announced KX-7000 processors at the end of last year, and now one of them has appeared in the benchmark.
The test model has eight cores without multi-threading support and operates at frequencies of 3.0-3.6 GHz. You can also note 32 MB of L3 cache.
This CPU scored 6,823 and 3,813 points in Geekbench in single-threaded and multi-threaded modes, respectively. This is much better than the results of the KX-6000 line of processors, but even the middle-aged Core i3-10100F with four cores is noticeably faster in both modes.
However, in this case, it is the progress of Zhaoxin over one generation that is indicative. As you can see, the increase is more than twofold, and this is with the same number of cores. Neither AMD nor Intel have been able to offer anything like this for a long time.
