China's Zhaoxin KX-7000 CPU doubles performance of prior-gen chip, still trails 6-year-old AMD and Intel processors
According to leaked Geekbench scores, the new processor is a significant improvement.
Zhaoxin boasts that KX-7000 and its latest Century Avenue architecture feature a new front-end, introduce out-of-order execution, and a better cache and memory system. Although we don't know what kind of RAM the KX-7000 sported during benchmarking, we can conclude that KX-7000's architectural improvements are largely responsible for the uplift in performance, assuming that this is a legitimate result. While this isn't an amazing position for KX-7000 to be in, the new CPU supports as many PCIe lanes at 4.0 speeds and as much RAM as more recent-gen AMD and Intel platforms.
