For a long time, Intel and AMD have held leadership in processors created for home and even industrial computer systems, which is not a problem for countries that do not have restrictions on the sale of products of these brands. But in regions like China it is something very serious, since the two North American companies that dominate the IT sector cannot market their products in the Asian country as they would like, one of the main reasons for which many companies in the region are trying to create their own processors chino pants which do not have any type of external restriction.
The progress made in recent years in the field of IT is extremely great, it is one of the most advanced sectors and which, thanks to its evolution, has managed to change the world in a very short time, it This is why the fact that a country does not have an advanced level of IT leaves it far behind in certain aspects. This is what pushed China to offer a series of additional resources to companies that focus on manufacturing PC hardware, to try to match its eternal rival, the United States, in technology, but for now , its chips are far behind Intel and AMD.
Zhaoxin's new processor is no match for Intel or AMD's from over 3 years ago
Over the past few months we have seen how, since China They are trying very hard to try to create their own processors this way we don't have to depend as much on North American manufacturers like AMD, Intel and even Qualcomm. But progress doesn't seem to be going very well, because apparently the only company making really considerable progress is Loongson, which, although it is about four generations behind, is the one with the most advanced processors on the Chinese market.
Another of the main companies that participate in this technological race is Zhaoxinwho presented their new processors KaiXian KX-7000based on a completely new microarchitecture which, despite quite considerable improvements over its previous creations, is not capable of reaching the Intel and AMD models of many years ago.
To see how the company's new eight-core KaiXian KX-7000/8 performs, PCWatch put it to the test against a 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and a quad-core Intel Core i3-8100. The tests are not too good for the Chinese processor, since even against two processors from 3 and 7 years ago respectively, it only manages to surpass the i3 in certain aspects, but without too big a difference.

It should be noted that we are talking about a processor with a consumption of more than 100 W, something much higher than, for example, the AMD 8000 series has as a base, and even some of the new 9000 series, while They offer performance much higher than their energy consumption, which demonstrates the failure of Chinese processors in terms of efficiency and performance.
