average 709% faster in multi-core, 257.2% in single core. And thats Milan, nothing new. I really don't know why anybody would care about such a slow processor. My $1100 7452 EPYC would beat this thing easy. 32c64t. And no mention of power, mine is one processor, 155 watt. Who knows what these others are power wise.

I believe that they are primarily intended for the Chinese market and secondarily for enthusiasts around the world.
There are enthusiasts who do not want to be mainstream. They want to be different.

If they are for the China market, why do you keep pushing them here ? Getting ANY EPYC is not mainstream. If you want to be different, that is the way you would go, not for something much slower and most likely takes a lot more power.

 

[Kosusko]

For enthusiasts!
It is still US technology CentaurHauls Family 7 Model 11 Stepping 3.

Chinese-Made Zhaoxin KX-6000G CPU With GT10C0 Integrated GPU Features The Same Performance As NVIDIA's GT 630

Chinese domestic chipmaker, Zhaoxin, is entering the realm of APUs with their first product, the KX-6000G CPU, offering a 1.5 TFLOPs GPU.

Interesting performance for an integrated graphics core as a successor to IP S3 Graphics/VIA.

Rumours
Dual Die KH-40000 Series processor with 2x 16C/16T = 32C/32T

P.S. dual socket solution 2x 32C/32T = 64C/64T

CENTAUR CHA IN THE TEST
The last x86 processor of its kind

P.S. There is an interesting comment in the discussion that it is allegedly possible that the former Centaur Technology team is working on a project (Sierra Forest?)

So Zhaoxin skipped CNS, AI cores, that CHA concept (though owning patents), and all that post 16nm nodes, to sneak peek regression on CPU+GPU integration. SMIC 7-ish nm needs small chips to better yields?
That kx-7000 GPU looks big to cores.
Zx-1080 is nice improvement from c-960 on synthetics. But MIA.
DGPU transfered to Glenfly Arise and also MIA.
Still that should be a big jump for chinese market.
