Then they hire Jim Keller for a few years to lead a design team and...

 

[Makaveli]

lol Jim Keller will be banned from working in China due to national security concerns

wow, wait until they perfect these and then dump them in the us--they'll kill off intel and amd like they did every other us leader of industry...

Good. The red army can now backdoor every computer if they want to. The five eye nation will be unhappy hearing this news.

Wow, they are on par with a notoriously horrific architecture from nealy a decade ago.

Impressive.

These won't be sold in the US lol. Would you buy a cpu made by the CCP? Why not just give them a live feed of your screen and keyboard, it would be cheaper.

Smells huawei to me.

Since they reached this level of performance using a MIPS chip emulating a x86 chip, then yeah, it's impressive - it means that it's feasible to run x86-only apps on the chip, and that native apps will run much faster.

Everything is easier when you steal all your technology from everyone else who does the work and have AMD helping you directly

They probably are AMD excavator chips from 2015. The chinese have 0 qualms over stealing tech, as we all know.

I garner almost very CPU made in the last 20 years has had backdoors ... The company isn't called "Intel" for nothing ... How do you think the five eyes have such good "eyesight"?

The best Excavator released in 2015 was the A12-8800B Pro, a 2C4T chip with a 2.1GHz base and a 3.4GHz boost. (There were faster ones, including a quad-core desktop, but they weren't released in 2015.)

I agree; the US Tech industry gave the Reds all their IP for a quick buck. I will not feel sorry for them when it happens.

You can tell from the specifications and the die shot that they are very different. IPC looks on par with Zen, but the clocks are much lower.

"Don't underestimate the power of the Dark Side." These buggers will steal and improve anything. Do not buy chinese owned electronics. They owe you nothing and report everything back to mother china.
