The domestic processor manufacturers can still engage in MIPS, ARM and Alpha architectures, but in the desktop market, because of the limit of the Wintel Alliance, there is no X86 processor can not play.
Currently, VIA/Shanghai SMIC is currently engaged in X86 processors, and soon there will be another domestic X86 processor. This is the Dhyana (dashing) processor that Tianjin Haiguang Group and AMD have cooperated with. In 2016, Haiguang Company spent 293 million US dollars to obtain the authorization of Zen architecture from AMD.

The Phoronix website reported on the weekend that the Linux kernel patch has a Family 18h processor codenamed Dhyana (Dhyana) Hygin, and Family 17h is AMD's Zen architecture processor. This Family 18h can also use AMD's The Family 17h processor code path shows that the two have very deep associations.

From the relationship between Dhyana and AMD Zen, the former is AMD's domestically-manufactured X86 processor licensed to Haiguang Company. In 2016, AMD and China's Tianjin Haiguang Investment Group reached a cooperation agreement. AMD will be the latest Zen processor. Licensed to a Chinese company, it received an authorization fee of 293 million U.S. dollars.
Now that almost two years have passed, it is time for domestically produced X86 processors. However, this processor is not used in the desktop market. According to the agreement between the two parties, The domestic X86 processor is mainly aimed at the server market, and it is not a simple imitation. The domestic X86 may add some extra units and become a SoC processor.
