Chinese Zhaoxin KX-6000G processor on test. How did he do?
China is also becoming increasingly independent in the field of processor technology. This was recently demonstrated by the company Zhaoxin with the preparation of the KX-6000G dedicated processor. In addition to processor cores, this also contains graphics cores.
The Zhaoxin KX-6000G processor uses four physical and four virtual processor cores for data processing. The novelty is most likely manufactured using 7-nanometer technology. The shape of the novelty may resemble Intel processors with the LGA-1700 socket. Many experts are therefore convinced that the Zhaoxin KX-6000G processor could actually be based on Intel's Core i3 processor.
The mysterious Zhaoxin KX-6000G processor calculates data at a frequency of two gigahertz up to three gigahertz in fast mode of operation. The cache size is four megabytes. At full load, the Zhaoxin KX-6000G processor consumes only 15 watts of electrical power. This makes it also suitable for compact computer systems with a passive cooling system for the central processor.
But how does the Zhaoxin KX-6000G processor perform in practice? Measurements made with the Geekbench 5 benchmark showed it to be on par with AMD and Intel processors from the late 2000s. Its capacity is indeedÄ comparable to the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor. However, the Zhaoxin KX-6000G processor is significantly safer with electricity. Processor Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 name at full load, it consumes as much as 105 watts, while the new Chinese Zhaoxin KX-6000G processor, as already mentioned, consumes only 15 watts.
