Zhaoxin is a model that makes multi-core 64-bit x86 processors primarily to be used in Chinese state IT infrastructure. It’s a part of the Chinese Government’s bold plan to make its IT {hardware} utterly indigenous. Zhaoxin’s x86-64 CPU cores are co-developed by licensee VIA, particularly its CenTaur subsidiary that is making NCORE AI-enabled x86 processors. The firm’s KaiXian KX-6780A processor is now commercially out there in China to the DIY market within the type of motherboards with embedded processors.
The KaiXian KX-6780A options an 8-core/8-thread x86-64 CPU clocked as much as 2.70 GHz, Eight MB of last-level cache, a dual-channel DDR4-3200 built-in reminiscence controller, a PCI-Express gen 3.zero root-complex, and an iGPU presumably designed by VIA’s S3 Graphics division, which helps primary show and DirectX 11.1 readiness. The CPU options fashionable ISA, with instruction units that embody AVX, AES-NI, SHA-NI, and VT-x comparable virtualization extensions. The chip has been fabricated on TSMC 16 nm FinFET course of.
