Overall the Zhaoxin KX-7000 doesn't even look like it is as fast as Haswell. I'm thinking at best the per core performance is Sandy Bridge at best which would put them still 12 years behind Intel and AMD right now.

Oh no, say it ain't so!

Anyway, did you know it's dark in space and that the sea is wet?

Would be helpful if they posted some price but I think the biggest problem of these lower performing chinese cpu for consumer is that the price doesn't match the performance. You can grab a n100 w ram/ssd beelink mini pc for about 150usd

At this rate they might actually catch up to Intel in multicore.

At this point each of their cores is about 1/2 the speed of Sky Lake or about a single Sky Lake thread. This puts the per core performance at Sandy Bridge at best or 12+ years behind AMD and Intel.

Way better than the KX-6000 which was closing to second gen core. Their per-year improvement would get them to intel levels in probably a decade.
