Will believe that when its reviewed by an independent 3rd party.

If it is that good maybe the rest of the world should steal the design!

I need one of those with the CCP malware built in.

Just buy it... comrade.

So, last year they release a chip as good as Ryzen 1. This time, a year and some later, as good as Ryzen 3. That is some impressive innovation if they really are using their own proprietary design.

Does anyone have any idea what the price on these ballparks?

Are they using the 3C5000 to perform the simulations?

They have released no such chip. Its on their roadmap and their internal simulations have it matching zen 3. So not really impressive at all.

I wonder if they have to promise such high performance to ensure future funding from the government. Startups do it all the time, right?. 1 out of 10 actually deliver. Probably less

The goal here is presumably Chinese technological independence from the sanctions-happy west rather than going toe-to-toe with AMD on geekbench. Though I'd think domestic advanced semiconductor nodes would be a bigger impediment there than uarch. Desktop CPUs are basically a solved problem and its a matter of no-time-at-all until China is on par.
