128 cores and it's nearly as much performance as a Pentium Pro from the early 2000s. WOoo! go china! or something.

I wouldnt want to build a system using a chinese processor over a cpu from AMD or Intel, but jeezus the idea of a 128 core processor with 4 threads per core is hella tempting for me, even if it only runs at 2ghz under load, id still love to find work for it do.

Isn't Hygon the company that worked with AMD in 2018 and has a license for Zen 1 uArc?

It is clearly an AMD design. AMD should be questioned about this.

“czajna” if you’re going for some Polish flavor of spelling

They drove a dump truck full of money to Lisa Su's house, what could she do?!?

Sounds like some more fabrications coming from czayna. AVX-512 would require a license from Intel and AMD. This smells like BS commie propaganda. Shame that THG propagates that garbage.

They don't allow politics remember. Unless it's what they have written.
In saying that, I am not sure they care about licensing agreements, their goal is self sufficiency, not selling overseas.

Agree, plenty of task that CPU can do if also power efficient.

Intel and amd server chip sales will hit near zero in China in the next 5 years?
