Recently, the deputy general manager of Shanghai Zhaoxin said in the interview that the overall performance of the Megachip processor has been able to benchmark the international mainstream standards. The latest processor has been able to benchmark Intel's sixth-generation Core i3 processor, running mainstream games without stress. Next-generation Megacore X86 processor performance is on par with the Intel Core i5 processor.
The Science and Technology Daily reported that Dr. Luo Yong, deputy general manager of Shanghai Zhaoxin Integrated Circuit Co., Ltd., said in an interview that the overall performance of the SMIC processor has been able to benchmark the international mainstream standards, with the ZX-C series CPU and KX-5000. For example, it is possible to benchmark Intel's sixth-generation i3 processor, the host frequency can reach 2GHz, for daily office applications, 4K decoding, and even running Call of Duty, Tomb Raider and other mainstream 3D games have no pressure. The statement against the Intel Core i3 processor is not the first time. In 2017, the Science and Technology Daily also reported the progress of the domestic nuclear high-base project for more than ten years, including domestic CPUs such as Feiteng, Godson, Shenwei and Zhaoxin. The single-core performance has increased from 3% of Intel's i3 CPU to 36.4%, 33.3%, 25.8% and 51.5% from the beginning of the '12th Five-Year Plan'.
The performance of this is close to the core i3. The performance of the core is still the X86 processor of the company. However, the latest processor of the company is the ZX-C+ series, 4 cores and 4 threads, 28nm process, frequency up to 2.0GHz, TDP power consumption 18W. However, in the current statement, the theory of the mega core has become the performance of the ZX-C series and the KX-5000 series comparable to the Intel six-generation Core i3, which is the Skylake architecture Core i3 of the 14nm process.
The previous statement of the ZX-C series is half the performance of the i3 processor five or six years ago. The performance has become the performance of the six-generation i3.... This is unlikely, but the KX-5000 series has this possibility, because KX -5000 is the latest X86 architecture released by Megacore. According to the official information, the KX-5000 series uses a new kernel, up to 8 cores, IPC performance increased by 25%, single-chip performance increased by 140%, and memory tape expansion increased by 120%. .
The result of this test comes from the endorsement of "Microcomputer" magazine. 'From these test results, the performance of the XX core KX-5000 series 8-core processor has basically reached the sixth generation Core processor Core i3-6100. Level. The Core i3-6100 processor scored 7588 thousand steps per second in the FrizChess chess power test, CINEBENCH R11.5 CPU rendered score 4.35pts, and the 7-zip composite score was around 11236. From still using the North and South Bridge architecture The FSB bus's ZX-C processor to performance catches up with the sixth-generation Core i3 processor. This is indeed a big improvement for the mega-core x86 processor. ' —— Microcomputer
In this test, Fritz chess test 7911 points, this is mainly multi-core implementation, 6 generation i3 or dual-core four-thread, and Cinbench R11.5 test CPU score 4.01pts, this is multi-threaded score (single thread more at 1.0pts Left and right), 4.0pts scores are indeed similar to the Core i3-6000 series processors. Of course, the pursuit of Megacore is not limited to this, 8 cores to win 2 cores and 4 thread processors is not enough, Rayong revealed that the next generation of Megacore The KX-6000 series processor has been successfully streamed. It is based on the more advanced 16nm process, clocked at up to 3.0GHz, compatible with x86 instruction set and extended instruction set such as SSE4.2 and AVX2. Open KX-6000 series processor list The chip integrates 4/8 CPU cores, memory controller, PCIe controller, SATA controller and USB controller, has 4MB/8MB cache, supports DDR4-3200 speed memory, is compatible with PCIe 3.0 and supports SATA Gen3 and USB 3.1. Such standards, performance and Intel i5 processor in line with the realization of the international advanced level of accelerated catch-up.
