Given how fast China can progress when they put their minds to it, this is worrying.
They don’t have the EUV machines needed to make the most modern chips. Only DUV so far.

First I’ve heard of these so I looked into it
It’s basically a continuation of VIA’s x86 tech (they sold the cyrix processors for a while if anyone remembers them). I assumed it was just copyright theft, but these are legitimately licensed x86 chips.
Apparently the current generation of these is like the Ryzen 3000 series, but I can’t find any actual benchmarks, so I’ll take that with a bit of salt. I doubt they will have the same power efficiency as the OP ones since the clock is apparently at 3.7GHz.
This is much cooler than I initially realised though. A viable 3rd player can keep competitor prices down so we would all benefit even if most of us aren’t buying these chips

I thought the Chinese AMD chips were called Hygon or something like that?
In fact a quick google suggests these are two different CPU lines, but I might be getting it wrong
